A hulking man trying to be a petite woman killed his trans-fan mother and 11 year-old step-brother before proceeding to a school he had dropped out of years ago to kill 5 12-13 year olds and a 39 year old librarian.

The killer had a long history of mental illness, and like the Parkland killer in Florida, his behavior had resulted in multiple police calls to his home. He was allegedly on antipsychotics and antidepressants. Whether he was undergoing or had undergone hormone replacement treatments is unknown, although he had discussed it on Reddit.

This whole sad, sick story supports a theory that I advanced some months ago, namely, that the social valorization of transgenderism attracts the seriously mentally disturbed. It turns the deeply disturbed from outcasts into “stunning and brave” heroes. It also allows them to avoid the interventions that are necessary to protect society–and themselves–from them.

That is, coming out as trans is a canny strategy for the crazy. The correlation between trans and mental illness is largely the result of the social validation of the former, which attracts the latter. I have little doubt that if trans had been a thing in 1999, archetypal school shooters Dylan Kiebold Eric Harris of Columbine infamy would have been trans.

And rather than questioning whether their history of validation and valorization of the trans made episodes like this one more likely, the media–and Canadian law enforcement and politicians–are leaning into it. Hard.

In lockstep, all legacy media have referred to the killer as a woman/she/her. Why? As one put it, they decided to “respect” the killer’s pretend identity and choice of pronouns.

Why in the name of all that is holy does a mass murderer deserve “respect”? It’s a sad testament to the destructive hold of trans ideology over our “elite” that this is their reflexive reaction. Rather than leading them to question whether their ideology feeds mass murder, they double down on it. Sick, sick, sick.

These people gladly sacrifice truth to ideology. The truth is that a deeply disturbed man cosplaying as a woman killed a bunch of kids. But that trust must be suppressed to perpetuate the idealization of such people.

They say that in war truth is the first casualty. That is definitely the case in the trans wars. And as in war generally, the body count in the trans war is rising.
