When Can We Talk About Trans Mass Shooters?

[Michie]

Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, home of megachurch pastor Joel Osteen, was the site of an attempted mass shooting on February 11.

During a Sunday afternoon Spanish-language service, a woman armed with an AK-15 and dressed in a trench coat stormed the church with her 7-year-old son and proceeded to open fire on the congregation.

Almost immediately, she was shot and killed by two off-duty police officers who were already present at the scene—but not before the shooter’s son and a 57-year-old man were also shot.

While the man has been released from hospital, the boy is still fighting for his life.

In the aftermath of the shooting, the attacker was identified as 36-year-old Genesse Moreno, an El Salvador national with a long rap sheet and a history of mental health problems.

Among the other details to emerge were that she had the word “Palestine” emblazoned across her weapon, had left behind her a trail of antisemitic writings, and regularly went by the name Jeffery Escalante.

The latter detail sparked widespread speculation that the shooter was transgender—as well as loud condemnations, from all the usual suspects, that such a possibility might even be countenanced.

I predicted years ago that this "transgender" balderdash would lead to anger, despair, suicide, and murder.

These people obviously have serious psycho-sexual delusions; they are not mentally well. And rather than getting them the help that they needed, society supported and reinforced their delusions.

And now, the chickens are coming home to roost. These fragile, unstable people are displaying their instability by finally going off the deep end and lashing out at society.

It's sad and awful, but not in the slightest bit surprising. When a grown man who's been told for thirty years that he's actually a fairy princess finally wakes up to the fact that he was fed a blatant lie that he bought into completely, it's unlikely that he's just going to shrug it off and go on as though nothing happened.

Lots of suicides. I hear about it from my medical friends. Lots of hopelessness.
