    Apparently this fellow - and all the news outlets are bending over
    backwards to call him "her" - regretted pretending to be a girl and his bitterness over being railroaded into transitioning by all the trendy
    lefties, may have played a part in leading him to kill two young
    children in a Catholic school in America.

    Not all men who pretend to be women end up committing massacres, but it doesn't pay to mess around with what God has given you.

    I knew you'd revel in this.

    There are multiple mass shootings each year in the US, and this
    particular one was done by a transsexual. Until now, none of them had
    been. So, it clearly did pay, until now, "to mess around with what God
    has given you"? Or, it's actually irrelevant.

    The point is that this unfortunate fellow (or evil fellow, take your
    pick) regretted his decision to pretend to be a girl and claimed that he
    had been brainwashed into it.

    At one point he seems to say that he brainwashed himself and to a
    certain extent that is probably true; he would have read and watched all
    the propaganda which says that men can become women and rejected the
    sane voices saying that is impossible. However where did all this
    propaganda come from? It wasn't AI generated, it was people like
    yourself who ignore basic genetics and insist that the impossible is
    possible.

    There may be one or two individuals who are blithely happy after getting
    their bits chopped off (though we'll never know whether that is a front
    or not), but you give no thought to the others who find themselves
    condemned to lives of ill-health, misery, loneliness as they find by
    bitter experience that men are men, women are women, and the one cannot
    become the other.

    Westman does seem to have regretted transgendering, but that seems to be irrelevant to his/her desire to kill children.

    There's no evidence that Westman underwent gender reassignment surgery.
    It would be better just to stick to the facts, please.

    People who have undergone gender re-assignment surgery are, on the
    whole, happy with their choice, and I would say it's more than one or
    two. I posted recently about Stephanie Hirst, who repeatedly had
    suicidal thoughts until she changed her sex, and is now much happier
    having transitioned.

    I don't know the statistics but I bet way more than 50% are happy with
    that choice. Do you give any thoughts to these individuals, or are you blindsided that much against transexuals you don't really care.

    It looks like he (1) came from a Christian background, which was also
    the case with the man who murdered 3 young children in Southport.

    Goes to show that Christians are prone to become killers, if not then
    probably child rapists.

    Be a Christian at your peril!!

    (1) I'm happy to refer to him as a male, as it does seem to be a
    decision he regretted, but reading the Mail link, these points struck me.

    There's a history of social anxiety, he had harboured thoughts of a mass shooting for many years, making reference to other mass killings, and he
    had cancer and wanted to go out with a bang. (pun unintended)

    Ken is against transitioning for religious reasons. That's a point of
    view I respect, and I expect most of us do.

    However, instead of just sticking to that, he tries to justify his views
    on rational grounds, and that's where he causes controversy.

    The Minneapolis shooting was not the first carried out by someone
    identifying as transgender. There are several examples here:

    https://www.newsweek.com/mass-shootings-transgender-perpetrators-1790854

    You are absolutely right (and I was absolutely wrong).

    That particular article also says:

    "On its website, Everytown Research & Policy cites 306 mass shootings in
    the U.S. since 2009.

    "4 shooters out of over 300 mass shooters since 2009 are transgender or
    non binary. That's just 1.3 percent of all shooters," Anthony Zenkus, a lecturer in social work at Columbia University, wrote on Twitter. "You
    just proved our point: 99 percent of mass shooters in the United States
    are cis gendered."

    According to the Williams Institute research center, around 0.6 percent
    of Americans over the age of 13 identify as transgender."


    Although the numbers are small, trans people are somewhat
    over-represented. The reason is, of course, a matter for research, but
    that doesn't stop people from deciding they simply know.

    For example: "The trans movement is pushing more and more extremism each
    day," said Oli London, a media personality who has become critical of
    the transgender movement since deciding to detransition. "They recruit
    people, indoctrinate them and pump them full of propaganda until they
    become filled with hate and rage."

    The founder of the religion Ken belongs to states that you should love

    So even if he disagrees with transgenderism on religious grounds (which
    I also respect) he shouldn't be offensive to those who are transgender.

    An individual's happiness is not a good guide to morality. A burglar who
    gets away without being detected is, no doubt, happy about that. Does
    that make burglary good? A paedophile who has just had sex with the
    child of his choice is, I am sure, rather pleased with himself. Does
    that make his actions moral?

    So no, I don't care whether these people are happy or not. The question

    I have no objection to controversy on rational grounds. I strongly
    suspect that before too long encouraging people to pretend to be what
    they are not will be regarded with the same disdain as we now feel for attempts to encourage left-handed children to be right-handed.

    If you don't regard trans people as your enemy, why are you so strongly against them? It is probably the strongest thing you're against, and
    given just 0.7% of society is trans, seems strange why you are so
    against it. There's plenty of other stuff the bible is against,
    including stuff you are quite blase about.

    You've got one verse in the bible (and even that is dodgy) which
    possibly supports your stance religiously, yet in the current theft and
    tax thread you are tacitly in support of theft in certain circumstances.
    Given that stealing is explicitly forbidden, I was actually surprised.


    So even if he disagrees with transgenderism on religious grounds

    Indeed, though that would imply that other mass killers came from a non- Christian background.

    That was kinda my point. As Ghraham's link pointed out, of all the mass murders taking place in America since 2018, just 4 were transgender,
    which means 99% were not, yet you gleefully tried to conclude that the
    latest shootings took place because he was unhappy with his transgenderism.

    Be a Christian at your peril!!

    Or be a non-Christian and experience even greater peril!!

    Interesting point, watch out for my next thread, I discovered something
    quite interesting on this subject the other day.


    There's a history of social anxiety, he had harboured thoughts of a
    mass shooting for many years, making reference to other mass killings,
    and he had cancer and wanted to go out with a bang. (pun unintended)

    I hadn't come across the cancer bit before.

    It was in the link you posted.

    The majority of people are not transgender, so that's the expected result.

    The relevant statistic here is the number of murders per capita by a
    particular class of offender. It's more difficult to compile
    representative statistics from a small number of events but figures
    in the link (from different sources) suggest that transgender mass
    shootings run at about double the per capita rate of the general
    population.

    It's also possible that he was simply a very unhappy, very mixed-up
    person, who went in all sorts of directions and failed to find happiness
    in any of them. That wouldn't surprise any of us, I expect.

    Indeed not, but it's a pity no one recognised that he was very mixed up
    before encouraging him to pretend to be a girl. I have long said that
    people who have this delusion need psychiatric help, which should be
    directed at getting them to accept themselves as they are instead of
    rushing down the trendy "Oh, if you change your gender everything will
    be rosy" route.

    Probably because modern society is so strongly for them.

    Back in the day when society was in favour of castrating males in order
    to preserve their soprano voices, I would have been against the
    practice. Now society has found a different excuse for castrating males
    (and neutering females) and I'm still against the practice.

    You've got one verse in the bible (and even that is dodgy) which
    possibly supports your stance religiously, yet in the current theft and
    tax thread you are tacitly in support of theft in certain circumstances. Given that stealing is explicitly forbidden, I was actually surprised.

    I'm completely against theft, whether the theft is perpetrated by
    criminals in masks from the local council estate or criminals in Armani
    suits from Westminster. I will happily advise victims of the one to
    install 5-lever locks and security cameras. I'm not qualified to advise
    on how to defeat the crooks in parliament but I'm all for the attempt.

    But they're not facts Ken, you have your opinion, I have mine, but at
    the end of the day they are just our opinions.
    The Y-chromosome is a fact. It is a scientific fact. Unfortunately it
    goes against your strange desire to insist that some men are actually
    women, but it remains a fact nevertheless.

    What you see down a microscope is not an opinion, it is a FACT.

    Even GB agreed that this chap was unhappy. So what made him unhappy? It
    could be a failure to produce big enough bubbles with his bubblegum, it
    could be that the weather wasn't sunny enough, or it could be a factor
    which he himself identified - that he was brainwashed into pretending to
    be a girl when he wasn't.

    An interesting point. *If* people commit these crimes because they are unhappy, then this might well be one reason for their unhappiness!
