When a trans mass shooter goes on the rampage, more than one person has blood on their hands, says Bev Turner

So what do these tragedies signal about vulnerable and troubled youngsters who might be taken down a path which is too regularly ending in violence against others – and themselves?

Trans people feature disproportionately as victims of violent crime all across the world.

But with social media glamorising the trans journey as a road to salvation paved with glitter lip-gloss and a community of do-gooders and financial opportunists offering a helping hand, these vulnerable souls sometimes believe that the whole world is against them.

They typically have a number of psychological comorbidities and are likely to be taking a cocktail of powerful personality-altering hormones including the aggression-inducing testosterone as well as prescription anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications or anti-ADHD drugs.

In 2019 nine pupils were shot at a Denver High school at the hands of Devon Erickson, 18, and Alec McKinney, 16 who identified as non-binary and trans respectively. In Aberdeen, near Baltimore, Snochia Moseley, (born she – identified as he) 26, took their own life after killing three and injuring three others in 2018.

And this week, as the families of three American nine-year-olds and three teachers in their 60s grieve in Nashville, it is only right to contemplate the role that gender dysphoria might have played in their loss at the hands of Audrey Elizabeth Hale – known as Aiden inside The Covenant School in Tennessee.

But when Officer John Drake announced that Hale had "no history of mental health issues," his statement jarred. Surely being transgender qualifies as a mental health problem? Not according to the WHO and American Psychiatric Association who removed being transgender as a mental health issue from its list of mental disorders and changed the definition in the last ten years.

They prefer the term "gender dysphoria", saying it reflects the "psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one's sex assigned at birth and one's gender identity".

But this sleight of hand neglects the most important question: where does this incongruence spring from?

This was rapidly normalised into language with British school children now taught that there are over 100 different words to describe gender.

The WHO and APA dictate that completely overhauling birth gender and undergoing irreversible surgery that affects sexual pleasure and fertility is psychologically "normal" and thereby requires no interrogation. How do they know? The research is staggeringly scarce.

One American analysis of 1836 adolescents concluded that 73 per cent of the trans people suffer psychological abuse; 39 per cent physical abuse, and 19 per cent reported sexual abuse – much higher than the cisgendered population.

But these fail to differentiate between childhood abuse versus bullying of the trans teen / adult. Transgender people claim this is because of social stigma, discrimination and abuse.

Of course, they may lack insight to recognise the rocks upon which their life has smashed. Plus abused young adults crave attention that looks like compassion or feels like love. And in an age of #bekind there is no end of supply of do-gooders ready to step in, some of whom are well-intentioned.

In the 1960’s psychologists claimed that homosexuality was a mental disorder which could be fixed with the right psychotherapy which is obviously ridiculous. But there was no Gay Industrial Complex waiting to seduce youngsters into medical or surgical procedures which would irreversibly alter the course of a gay teen’s life.

In recent decades a teen’s dalliance with sexuality or gender fluidity were largely matters of fashion, not flesh.

But today’s very public TikTok videos of non-binary teenagers bearing breast-removal scars injecting one another with hormones bear no relation to the sexual or gender privations of previous generations. The brainwashing is powerful; the consequences for the individual can be devastating.

But it is immensely profitable. Lupron, a controversial hormone blocker is just one drug in the booming pharmaceutical business of “transitioning” children. Its manufacturer, AbbVie made $726million on the drug alone in 2018. AbbVie has joined other major pharmaceutical companies in lobbying to keep drug prices high while virtue-signalling about diversity and inclusion.

By requiring lifelong medical support trans people are the ideal subscription-model customer for the health-care industry.

In the past 10 years, more than 30 clinics for children with purported gender dysphoria have arisen in the United States.

Painful but profitable facial feminisation surgery, cosmetic fillers, breast implants and liposuction lead surgeons to turn a blind eye to any potential underlying and unresolved cause of emotional pain.

Entire hospital wings are being built for phalloplasty, vaginoplasty and urethral procedures. Womb transplants for men identifying as women are in development. Trans procedures are the not-so-innocent gateway drug to a future of highly profitable Biogenetics, mood-changing medications and transplants for all.

Certain Laws around civil liberties and medical interventions involving digital implants will be much easier to enact without the pesky issue of sex-based biology and the sanctity and integrity of the human body in the way.

I am in no way excusing the despicable, unforgivable and murderous acts of individual shooters.

But we need to consider whether the pain of being repulsed by the very essence of who you are - the sex that you are born into – might motivate some Trans people to harm themselves and others. Mass shooters may claim to hate the people they destroy but they also hate themselves, otherwise they would believe they deserved better than a life in prison or a bullet in their own heads.

Before Denver shooter Mckinney was sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 38 years he sobbed and added, “I don’t want a lighter sentence.”

Billionaires with vested interests in the idea of unmooring people from their biology via language distortions, to normalize the alteration of human biology and institutionalize transgender ideology are implementing an ‘anti-human-body’ movement providing medical treatments for a miniscule, yet lucrative part of the population.

The Trans Industrial Complex cheerleaders open the door to surgery whilst closing the lid on debate.

When another mass shooting is perpetrated by a deranged and damaged narcissist high on testosterone and deluded by do-gooders, remember that there may be blood on many different hands.
