As well, many of the 80 women, the trans widows I’ve collected testimonies from report they were physically (and often sexually also) attacked by the crossdressing husband, such that she feared he was going to kill her and it was only her body’s reaction that saved her in the moment. Battery strangulation is shockingly common. The rate of sexual assault by these trans ideating husbands is 39% and the rate of separate physical assaults is 38% in my data from The Heggen Survey. My comments on Mr. O’Neil’s article appear as here, in bold italics.
Tyler O’Neil writes:
The counterterrorism strategy opens in a new tab, released Wednesday, outlines three major threats: narcoterrorists and transnational gangs; legacy Islamist terrorists; and violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists.
According to the strategy, America’s counterterrorism efforts will “prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.”
“Americans have witnessed the politically motivated killings of Christians and conservatives committed by violent left-wing extremists, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical who espoused extreme transgender ideologies,” the document adds.
It remains unclear whether the FBI will accept the Oversight Project and The Heritage Foundation’s request to use its authority under 18 U.S. Code § 2331 to designate “transgender ideology-inspired violent extremism as domestic terrorism,” but this document may enable that move.
The Trump administration deserves credit for taking this threat seriously, and also for pledging to address these threats “apolitically and founded upon reality-based threat assessments.” While the U.S. will examine left-wing extremism, the document pledges that America’s “counterterrorism powers will not be used to target our fellow Americans who simply disagree with us” in the way the previous administration did.
(Ute’s note: The Biden admin targeted religious and other conservative groups for surveillance and started FBI files on parents who expressed opposition to transgender cult “workshops” in the public schools. This means parents were shadowed in PTA meetings, etc.)
O’Neil continues:
Most people who identify as transgender likely do not pose a threat to their fellow Americans, but a growing list of attackers either identified as transgender or appear to be motivated by transgender ideology.
Tyler Robinson, 22, who faces murder charges in the September killing of Charlie Kirk, reportedly lived with a boyfriend who identifies as transgender and allegedly told his boyfriend he shot Kirk on his behalf.
In February, Jesse Van Rootselaar, an 18-year-old man who identified as a woman, shot and killed eight people in British Columbia, Canada.
Robin Westman, a 23-year-old man identifying as a woman, shot and killed two children at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis in August.
Julia Grace Egler, 16, allegedly shot and killed her mother and her mother’s boyfriend following multiple disputes with her mother about her transgender identity and “misgendering.”
Mia Bailey, a 30-year-old man who identifies as female, shot and killed his parentsopens in a new tab in June 2024.
Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a 28-year-old woman who identified as male, shot and killed six on March 27, 2023, at a Presbyterian school in Nashville, Tennessee.
On May 7, 2019, Maya “Alec” McKinney opens in a new tab, a 16-year-old woman who identifies as male, and her 19-year-old fellow student, Devon Erickson, shot and killed one and injured eight at a school in Highlands Ranchopens in a new tab, Colorado.
In June 2024, a judge sentenced Alexia Willie, a man who identifies as a woman, after he confessed to threatening to rape girls in girls’ restrooms, carry out mass shootings at schools, and bomb churches.
Activist groups such as the Human Rights Campaign not only demand societal acceptance but also demonize dissent as a form of violence against people.
HRC has described the deaths of people identifying as transgender as an “epidemic.”opens in a new tab However, the Human Rights Campaign’s own data suggests that these people face a lower homicide risk than other groups, particularly men, women, black, white, and Hispanic people.
This claim represents the fountainhead of a constant stream of hyperbolic transgender rhetoric. For instance, MSNBC columnist Katelyn Burnsopens in a new tab once described a move to restrict the Frankensteinian treatments of “gender-affirming care” as an act of genocide.
The Department of Health and Human Services has concluded that there is little evidence for positive impacts from transgender medical interventions on minors, but it found many documented harms. A jury awarded a detransitioner $2 million, finding that the medical professionals who carried out sex-rejecting procedures on her were liable for medical malpractice.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released a statement recommending against transgender surgery for minors under 19, leading other medical associations to follow suit.
Supporters of these sex-rejecting procedures maintain—with a straight face—that people with gender dysphoria (the painful and persistent identification with the gender opposite one’s sex) cannot prevent themselves from committing suicide if they do not receive these interventions. They then use this argument to demonize any scrutiny of these interventions.
(Ute’s note: the mind/body dissociation of opposite sex ideation is often a maladaptive coping mechanism the individual slides into when childhood abuse and trauma are unresolved in adolescence and adulthood. Many de-transitioners attest to this as well as trans widows who are aware of the former husband’s history.)
Online influencers who identify as transgender have amassed huge followings, and members of their audiences may find themselves bombarded with exaggerated rhetoric about the “hate” of those who dare to disagree. In fact, the influential Southern Poverty Law Center repeatedly compares conservative Christians who disagree with transgender orthodoxy to the Ku Klux Klan.
If you legitimately believe that there is an “epidemic” of murder against people like you, that opposition to your agenda is a form of “genocide,” and that Christians’ disagreement with transgender identity is fueling this, you might be tempted to lash out.
(Ute’s note: in woke upstate NY towns, we’ve seen official placards from the advocate groups with slogans such as: “If We’re Angry, It Comes Out of Love.” I see this as a not very hidden justification of their violence, threats and harassment.)
The Trump administration is right to take this threat seriously, and I hope to hear more about its effort in the coming days.
