Transgenderism is promoted by many groups: WPATH, GLAAD, hospitals like the Boston Children’s Hospital, big tech companies like Google and Facebook, left-wing groups like the Human Rights Campaign, corporations like Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, etc. Is all this advocacy for transgenderism causing violence against people who disagree with it, such as Bible-believing Christians?
The concern that Christians have is that when powerful groups promote gender dysphoria as natural and normal, then anyone who tells the truth about that can become a target. And it’s not a stretch to see someone who is having mental issues turning to violence to get the approval and celebration that they feel will make their lifestyle choices work out for them – in the sense that compelled affirmation makes them feel good about their own choices.
By now, everyone has heard about Audrey Hale’s attack on the Christian school in Nashville.
Newly released pages purportedly from the Nashville Covenant School shooter’s manifesto indicate that the shooter was strongly fixated on gender ideology and deeply held anger against Christianity.
In the pages, released Wednesday by The Daily Wire, trans-identifying shooter Audrey Hale condemns her parents, harshly criticizes Christians, and fantasizes about her “imaginary penis.” The pages come after months of stonewalling from authorities, who refused to confirm or deny a previous set of manifesto pages commentator Steven Crowder released in November.
On Wednesday, there was a new shooting by a new transgender shooter, this time targeting a Catholic school.
Daily Signal reports:
The man who opened fire at a Minneapolis Catholic school Wednesday identified himself by two names, and those names match a court record for a name change in 2019.
Two children, ages 8 and 10, died in the shooting, and the shooter injured 17 others. Authorities found the gunman dead at the scene. The FBI is investigating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics, FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X.
“The shooter has been identified as Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman,” Patel wrote. “The FBI will continue to provide updates on our ongoing investigation with the public as we are able.”
Law enforcement sources confirmed the suspect’s identity as Robert Westman or Robin Westman in speaking with Fox News. The New York Post also reported that police identified Westman in a news conference and said Westman “has been identified as a transgender woman.”
Just regarding the motive, the shooter did not like Jesus, and presumably followers of Jesus.
The Post Millennial explains:
The alleged shooter in Wednesday’s deadly attack at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis… appears to have posted a chilling video on YouTube before the massacre that makes several pop culture references as well as references to other shooters. In the footage, Westman can be seen displaying multiple firearms and ammunition magazines, as well as a target board with an image of Jesus Christ taped to it.
Now, you might remember that Minnesota is famous for their seculalism and leftism. These people aim to be “good without God”, so let’s see some “objective morality” from the secular left.
Here’s an article from The Post Millennial:
In the wake of a devastating mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School that left two children dead and 17 others injured, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey preached about transgender rights during a press conference after it was revealed that the trans male killer identified as a woman.
“I have heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community,” Frey told reporters at a press briefing Wednesday afternoon.
The mayor of Minneapolis, MN is – of course – a Democrat. He has nothing good to say about Christians, but lots of good to say about transgenders. Does he think that the shooting was justified, because of disagreement with transgenderism? It’s almost like he is telling Christians (the victims) not to cause more shootings by disagreeing with his transgender agenda. This certainly is an escalation from the traditional response of “don’t disagree with me, or I’ll end myself”. Now it sounds like “don’t disagree with me, or I’ll end you”. There were some voices saying similar things about the Nashville Shooter – it was provoked by those hateful Christians.
And in another article from The Post Millennial, the mayor says:
“Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now, these kids were literally praying.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey delivered a statement on Wednesday after a deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, rejecting “thoughts and prayers.”
Andy Ngo, who follows the violence of “Trantifa” and other leftists pretty closely, tweeted this:
We don’t know the shooter’s motive yet. A full investigation is needed to find out whether the motives are anti-Christian. But, there are several anti-Christian quotes from the shooter, such as the saying “Where’s your God now?”
More from that article: no mention of a father in the home, but:
Fox News reported that his mother, who worked at the school before retiring in 2021, signed off on his gender transition as a minor.
Many leftist women today are transing their children, divorcing fathers in order to get a free hand from the family courts to do it. I’ve blogged several examples: this one and this one and this one. I have a friend whose ex-wife is transing his kid against his will. She is making him pay for it, too. I am left to wonder if the ejection of the father from the home (69% of the time the woman initiates divorce), and thenthe use false accusations to get full custody, causes the child’s mental issues. Children need their fathers.
By the way, be careful what corporate news sources you rely on, because they can distort the truth for their own leftist agenda.
Daily Caller explains:
CNN senior justice correspondent Evan Perez inaccurately claimed Wednesday that semiautomatic firearms could fire “dozens of bullets” with a single pull of the trigger while covering a Minneapolis shooting.
[…]“What has incorrectly been termed an ‘assault weapon’ is a semi-automatic firearm that fires just one bullet with each pull of the trigger (versus a fully automatic firearm — machine gun — which continues to shoot until the trigger is released),” the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) said in a fact sheet.
Would you like to see federal law enforcement do something about hate speech from the secular left that incites violence against Christians and conservatives?
