"such people … easily turn into tools of intrigue in the hands of clever and unscrupulous individuals". THIS!
Pathocracy weaponizes everything. Injecting testosterone to orders of magnitude higher than female design specification no doubt supercharged the "retaliation". We really need to de-pathocratize somehow.
(Shared your post over on Social Galactic, hope you get some new followers from that community.)
And no long term studies have been done on the effect of transgender hormone treatment on brain health, let me guess? So, we are saturared with potential hazardous (transgender terrorism?) behaviour as well... if a 28 year old transgender "patient" react this extrene, how will the poor impressiobable teenies react ?
I heard a lecture Dr.Jordan Peterson gave where he figures many people who now identify as trans without the trans push may just have stayed gay. I think that’s probably true, but in our personal case that was not the case.
My husband saw online today that the girl had only very recently come out to her parents as being trans he him at 28 years old and the parents did not take this news at all well and refused to accept either a trans son his pronouns or his male identifying clothes and continued treating him as their daughter. Perhaps this rejection from his own parents very recently upon his coming out might also have had something to do with his violent retaliation? I also have a trans son who began his transition at age 25 (age 30 now)requiring him to see and be evaluated by a few different doctors who specialized in everything of a trans nature including the correct dosage for his size and weight of testosterone which he quickly learned how to inject himself with once a week. He has recently confided to me that he has a bad temper now and is quicker to anger(another side effect of t) but only the girls he has had relationships with have been privy to it firsthand. I’m the mom so as you can imagine there is lots he doesn’t confide in me but his dad and I were accepting of his change because more than anything we loved him and wanted for him to be happy. It requires a lot of will power for him to be trans and injecting himself with testosterone once a week is hard and the side effects of t are many one of which is a receding hairline and I guess most of all it’s hard to find a girlfriend and it’s hard to find genuine solid friends who legit support him and accept him and genuinely like him so it’s a lonely life too but he is a happier more confident and outgoing type of a person now which feels so good to see!
Thank you, I hope I shed some light on this subject and yes one must be strongly committed to it or they will never last. Physical side effects as premature loss of hair, and an emotional change in now experiencing strong feelings of anger where there were none before, for sure due to the testosterone. He must go regularly to get his testosterone levels checked yet his t levels were not elevated above normal ranges so the new strong feelings of anger is definitely a negative side effect.
Just one problem, she never took Testosterone. The only step towards transition that she took was changing pronouns... 9 months before this terrible events. So hormones (or drugs) cannot explain it. Only the treacherous labyrinth of the Human Psyche.
Thank you for correcting my misapprehension about that. Given what we see in the world today, I ought never underestimate the combined power of the other poisons being blasted at and into our people.
All the time big money to be shovelled, testosterone injections can cause great harm and even cancer in the bodies of gullable clients especially the teenies. Don't mess with puberty hormones is the golden rule..
That may all be true but who am I to tell a grown adult how they should live their lives? He has the right to make his own decisions and choices, I gave birth to him but I don’t own him and if he is willing to deal with all of the requirements as well as all of the side effects it just shows you how committed a person has to be to commit themselves to this lifestyle.
Sadly, people can choose to bring horrendous suffering upon themselves and others through being completely sold out to all sorts of lies and delusions.
Probably, not many. Pfarma is making so many autistics these days, I think people won't want to admit there may be a link, because it may pertain to their child.
I'm firmly convinced that the mandated childhood vaccinations were the cause of a spectrum of autism in my son... I witnessed the change from pre-vaccination to post-vaccination.
Sending hugs - and happiness that at least you survived! The pharmafia has a LOT to answer for, one of the few things regarding this 'sickness industry' that there's no question OF.
Anything that can plunge a person into a deep state of apathy can make them extremely dangerous to themselves and others. This is the usual strategy of any person or group that wants to ruin or destroy some other person or group considered to be "the enemy." It is the most common strategy in war. We should confront the fact that some sort of war is occurring across our planet.
Forgive me for not believing that she was on the spectrum without proof. So many attention seeking people are self diagnosing themselves with ASD to gain power through the new victimhood hierarchy.
I do believe she was fueled with rage taking testosterone not met for her body and would not be surprised she had some type of personality disorder, if not a mental illness in addition to wallowing in hypochondria or munchausen syndrome.
That could be. If you haven't already, check out the other article of mine I linked to. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was an underlying personality disorder, perhaps schizoid, which has some overlapping traits with autism.
Seems to me that it's a given that one would necessarily have a personality dysfunction in order to be psychologically capable of contemplating let alone actually committing mass homicide... most notably with children as their target.
I said this elsewhere and was immediately sneered at by an unnamed commenter but I think there are some issues to consider. The killers mother spent some time on social media putting out petitions regarding gun control and school shootings in particular which I found disturbing in retrospect. People with these psychological disorders will often try to hurt the target (mom in this case) in the worst way possible (rather than killing mom blame mom for her rejection causing the daughter to kill small children to get mom’s attention). I guess if the manifesto is released we can interpret more accurately but I see a connection. It’s hard to say that she was taking testosterone without evidence and I’ve not seen that evidence yet.

I've had a feeling that people far "on the spectrum" are more easily "talked into" being "trans", feeling some sort of social disconnect, something missing, and hope that'll fix it.
I noticed, subjectively, a higher than usual occurrence of "trans" people in certain tech fields. Although one niche topic area there also has a famous idol. It's in the scene of musical synthesizer design / building scene that I encountered this, and the idol would be Walter/Wendy Carlos, famous for the "Switched on Bach" album and other things featured in some of Stanley Kubrick's movies.
True—although, Walter/Wendy Carlos is one of the few examples that come to my mind of obvious trans legitimacy. If you watch an old video of Walter, you can tell that's a woman trapped in a man's body. She looked and sounded like someone put a woman in a suit and glued fake sideburns to her face. She actually seemed awkward and inauthentic as a man, and much more natural as a woman. But I wouldn't describe any of the MTF trans tech workers I've met as legitimate in this way.

"woman trapped in man's body",
yes, that is the old trope.
The fact that you perceive a difference in quality of the "trans" of today and back then (I agree) does not mean automatically that that was ever the correct way to look at it,
which does not actually hinge on the affected people wanting it that way.
After all, it is a type of dysphoria, and people who e.g. perceive their own bodies as fat but not others of similar shape doesn't mean they are a fat person trapped in a slim body, it means there is a divergence of own vs. external perception that could have a number of plausible explanations, bit this "trapped" thing alyways seemed a bit too magical to me, an ad-hoc explanation that was probably well-intentioned, to produce "understanding" (tolerance) without actually understanding anything.
You couldn't have chosen a worse example for the supposedly true "woman trapped in a man's body".
Him using fake sideburns in that demo was not proof he "is a woman who needed to fake that", it is proof that the makers of the show did not want him to look like he would usually, on TV screen - that's it.
He never was convincing as a women either, and in that demo he actually only seemed like an, at most, slightly effeminate, or more like shy, introverted man. It seems off for an American, much less for e.g. a Japanese man.
Not in disguise and with falsetto-speaking did he ever seem like a woman - it always has this freakshow sidetaste to it like on all trans I ever witnessed, or call it "uncanny valley" if you prefer.
As for the "trapped in body" trope: It's not like we are (so far) made on assembly lines, and they could have stuck the wrong brain inside a body.
How someone gets a more male vs. female brain is DUE TO the bodies and hormones, it is a development where brain and the rest of the body go hand in hand.
I.e., something else must be wrong.
The reason I said "worst example", and it's funny how you could miss this glaringly obvious aspect:
Especially back then, but also still today (just less visible / obvious),
becoming a pinoeer in that "instrument" and making an album like "Switched on Bach",
was not exactly feminine-typical,
more like, "more male than most men's brain" kind of type, ultra nerd, perhaps somewhat autistic. A jock may play electric guitar, but not this nerd machine.
The "Moog modular" used was not an "instrument" as synths are today, you bought technical function unit modules you chose to be installed into a rack, and while there were people who evidently just bought stuff and experimented with them, this is not the case for Carlos for the two Bach albums.
You had to have a fairly deep technical understanding of what you would need and how to connect modules to achieve sounds you wanted, and pure experimentation without having a high technical aptitude will not get you what Carlos achieved, especially in relative short time - considering that this was all MONOPHONIC synth and these complex orchestral pieces had to be played one-note-at-a-time, deferred, on multi track (i.e. alone that taking the bulk of the time).
While the sounds crafted are more than just a nod to classical instruments, to retaine some degree of familiarity, but also offer enough novelty to be interesting - this was goal-oriented, not just "making some noise by chance".
And in the interviews of how these recordings were achieved, you'll notice the zero-emotions, all-analytical way things are being described and have been done - even of some superficial, stereotypical "femininity" is put on top of it.
And that's supposed to be "a woman trapped in a man's body",
nay, even a shining example of a "more true than most" one?
Because of some acquired, superficial mannerisms?
While missing the forest of archetypal male ubernerd for the trees.
Just throwing this out there. I hadn't known Carlos was born a man. A few weeks ago, a video of some of the sessions showed up on FB for me. I'd never seen Carlos before. Watching the video, I thought it was a woman dressing up as a man. I was probably primed by always thinking Wendy Carlos was a woman, but watching the video for the first time, I seriously thought it was a woman dressing up as a man.
You are picking away at the tip of an awfully big iceberg.
Lobaczewski's observation is key: "On a small social scale, such people … easily turn into tools of intrigue in the hands of clever and unscrupulous individuals … (pp. 107-108)." Hubbard has also observed this. This is how the more clever psychopaths find ways to attack their "enemies" without exposing themselves publicly. They find troubled people who are more willing to act out, and rile them up. I don't have any evidence that psychopaths hypnotize their "foot soldiers" to act on exact commands, but you can only imagine that they might try.
This is one very compelling reason why we need to spot psychopaths and disconnect them from people who they can act through to cause destruction. This is a very important source of social chaos - perhaps the most important source. We will continue to have these problems if we don't get this under control. Various external forces are quite interested in this whole problem ramping up considerably.
The dreadful tragedy of all of these school shootings, has it's background in medications. The data in this link is old. Be useful if anyone has an updated version of how many of the shooters were or had been on meds prior to the incidents. Beggars the question. How long before the authorities step up monitoring vulnerable patients on these meds? RIP all of the victims.
I think the most important part of this is the "vulnerable" qualifier. I'm skeptical that it's just the drugs (see the link to my other article in the main text). If anything, perhaps it is the combination of the drugs with underlying personality dysfunction in some (or many) cases.
The full circle. Personality disorder, dysfunction. Off to the quack, the the trickcyclist. Must take this or these meds. Wallop. Another young life chemically damaged. Then the poor blinders lash out. Mostly trying to regain power over their own messed up lives. Certainly needs & deeper & way more thorough investigation. Which due to the evil megapharmas hold over all regulatory authorities, will never happen. Thanks for recommending my site! Appreciated.
I have Asperger's Syndrome, and I never was tempted by any of this. Granted, I am a Boomer, and most of this was not around back then.
I just wonder why some ASD people stay pro-social, and others do not. Pro-social ASD people can often excel in certain fields, which may be why this trait was never selected out of the gene pool entirely.
In the article of mine that I linked to, I summarize Dr. Grande pointing out something similar: that on the whole, ASD people are probably LESS likely to commit violence. He speculates about a kind of "autistic psychopathy" subtype that is less common. I think that's where personality disorder comes into play. ASD by itself is relatively harmless in comparison, but when those traits combine with deeper personality dysfunction, things can go bad. It's still an area not well understood, I think.
"So what is the average psychology of “trans” people? The same as “cis” people, right, because they’re just random people who happen to have been “born into the wrong body”?
WRONG. One detailed study of transsexuals, both male-to-female and female-to-male, found that an astonishing 80% of them suffered from a “personality disorder.” Over half of them, 57.1%, suffered from “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” – while the rest suffered from others personality disorders, such as “Borderline Personality” (although Narcissism is often considered an example of Borderline Personality). On average, the patients suffered from three different personality disorders...
Borderline Personality Disorder is marked by a deep fear of abandonment, a lack of emotional regulation and an unstable sense of self: sufferers will constantly experiment with different identities and cannot control their emotions, which they experience very strongly. Narcissistic Personality Disorder, especially of the “vulnerable” subtype, involves dealing with these feelings by telling yourself that you are perfect: by creating an idealised and exalted sense of self which, on some level, you don’t really feel. When this is challenged, the Narcissist will often experience “Narcissistic Rage” in which he must utterly destroy the thing which threatens his false sense of self and which, thus, threatens to confront him with the fragility at the heart of his being [see Shame and Narcissistic Rage in Autogynephilic Transsexualism, by Anne Lawrence, Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2008].
Thanks Harrison, it is tough and once again I was completely unprepared and knocked off my feet with his response as I did not and still do not equate him or his life choices with all of the bad apples as you call them from his trans community. It was such a shock to learn he felt this way that I was pretty much left speechless and changed the subject as quickly as possible having no desire to hurt him further but we are all entitled to having our own opinions and mine haven’t changed but I will respect his boundaries as it’s the only way we can still keep our relationship. I fully agree it sucks he has become so identified with his community that he can’t even see the actual misogyny taking place in all of the areas I mentioned and that as a woman of course I would find it most of all harmful and dangerous re women’s prisons and girls changing in change rooms, and women competing against actual men in professional high contact sports; as well as being degrading and humiliating and insulting and disrespectful for ALL naturally born women and girls and that he has no concept at all of any of this is really hard to accept.
I can only speak to what we experienced and our former daughter was always so much of a tomboy from earliest memory, then when adolescence hit she came out as being gay that’s how self confident she felt at the very beginning of all this at high school for which she was relentlessly physically and verbally tormented and bullied but of course she didn’t confide anything about any of this to any of us her family, she had two older sisters too. I eventually found a Christian alternative homeschool type of program where she was able to attend daily or not ( they were very tolerant of absences) so thankfully she was able to achieve graduation where she wore black dress pants white shirt a dressy vest with a cute little black bow tie where the girls all wore feminine grad dresses. I was unaware of the horrible bullying at high school all I knew was she was skipping school a lot and dreaded going and wasn’t going to graduate if nothing changed. Her oldest sister was by this time attending college downtown for her nursing degree and said hey why don’t you come with and go there too to get your healthcare aid certificate so she did and completed the program and got her certification, and she remained gay keeping her guy style clothes she’d always worn until suddenly one day at 25 she told me “that being gay just wasn’t enough anymore and she needed to go further and was going to transition into being a male.” This was no snap decision she said that she had thought long and hard about this for the last couple of years to reach this decision that she wanted to transition and had done alot of research into it and decided that this was what she wanted and needed to do to achieve inner peace and happiness. The entirety of her life experience had brought her to this decision. It was hard to accept at first.. feeling like we were losing our tomboy daughter whom we’d known and loved for 25 years but our eldest was finally able to get us to see that whether girl or boy didn’t matter AS THIS WAS STILL THE SAME PERSON we’d known and loved for 25 years so we weren’t losing anyone! Sounds simple but it was incredibly hard to conceive of initially and things have been really good between us but now with the maniacal trans push ( he just turned 30) the subject of anything trans related is totally off limits, he has created his own boundaries with me in particular as I view the drag queen story time for young children as child sexual grooming and am strongly opposed and spoke of it to him unaware of his perceptions until I was told by him that the “entire trans community” was HIS community so anything negative I said was speaking against him and why couldn’t I see that? He has regular mental health therapy specializing in trans issues and he told me that I come up in his therapy sessions alot because he is very hurt by my being non supportive of drag queen story time and my apparent inability to see how anything I say of a negative nature re ANY aspects of the trans community hurts him personally..this just sucks needless to say. So I am now respecting his boundaries he feels he needs to keep around me by keeping my opinions and my mouth shut around him as I also take issue with the misogyny taking place around professional women’s sports, women’s only safe spaces, and the trans women pretending they have ovaries which produce eggs a uterus a cervix a womb can conceive and carry a baby to term can breast feed etc. so we are now miles apart on how we see things of a trans nature. He has no pronouns just went from being a she to now being a he, had his top surgery and strongly identifies with and is fully engaged with his trans community. Both of his sisters also millennials see things much the same way as he and fully support him and his trans community whereas his dad and I also fully support him but we see that as being completely different from fully supporting everything of the trans community that is currently being pushed onto society to accept. One case study only as I’m sure each case is different but I am giving you our personal experience and I hope it is helpful as he began transitioning long before it was en vogue with so much hype and pressure around it as is now the case.
//until I was told by him that the “entire trans community” was HIS community so anything negative I said was speaking against him and why couldn’t I see that?//
It's too bad that people can become so identified with their community that they cease to see the bad apples amongst them.
If you watch the video of the shooter in the hallways of the school, and the shooter on the floor after the police had shot him, the trainers are obviously not the same. More chicanery and theatre me thinks!
They're the same shoes. In most shots the white stripe is covered by the hem of her cargo pants, which is visible when she opens the double doors and takes a lunging step in with her left leg. In the shot of her on the floor the angle obscures the larger patch of white that us on the side/top front of the shoe.
"such people … easily turn into tools of intrigue in the hands of clever and unscrupulous individuals". THIS!
Pathocracy weaponizes everything. Injecting testosterone to orders of magnitude higher than female design specification no doubt supercharged the "retaliation". We really need to de-pathocratize somehow.

But the big question is: What triggered the trans origination?
Thank you for sharing. It must be hard for him, and i see they say there are a lot of side effects to these hormones.
Thank you, I hope I shed some light on this subject and yes one must be strongly committed to it or they will never last. Physical side effects as premature loss of hair, and an emotional change in now experiencing strong feelings of anger where there were none before, for sure due to the testosterone.

And globally we are now watching them... never to trust them anymore.
I think they know, they just don't care. The word healthcare does not apply to them.
Wasn't the guy that shot up Sandy Hook also autistic? Or am I remembering wrong?
Yep.
Thank-you! It's always nice to know that I can remember some things correctly. 😏

I don't have any evidence that psychopaths hypnotize their "foot soldiers" to act on exact commands, but you can only imagine that they might try.
This is one very compelling reason why we need to spot psychopaths and disconnect them from people who they can act through to cause destruction. This is a very important source of social chaos - perhaps the most important source. We will continue to have these problems if we don't get this under control. Various external forces are quite interested in this whole problem ramping up considerably.
The dreadful tragedy of all of these school shootings, has it's background in medications. The data in this link is old. Be useful if anyone has an updated version of how many of the shooters were or had been on meds prior to the incidents. Beggars the question. How long before the authorities step up monitoring vulnerable patients on these meds? RIP all of the victims.

I think the most important part of this is the "vulnerable" qualifier. I'm skeptical that it's just the drugs (see the link to my other article in the main text). If anything, perhaps it is the combination of the drugs with underlying personality dysfunction in some (or many) cases.
The full circle. Personality disorder, dysfunction. Off to the quack, the the trickcyclist. Must take this or these meds. Wallop. Another young life chemically damaged. Then the poor blinders lash out. Mostly trying to regain power over their own messed up lives. Certainly needs & deeper & way more thorough investigation. Which due to the evil megapharmas hold over all regulatory authorities, will never happen. Thanks for recommending my site! Appreciated.
I have Asperger's Syndrome, and I never was tempted by any of this. Granted, I am a Boomer, and most of this was not around back then.
I just wonder why some ASD people stay pro-social, and others do not. Pro-social ASD people can often excel in certain fields, which may be why this trait was never selected out of the gene pool entirely.
Any conjectures?
In the article of mine that I linked to, I summarize Dr. Grande pointing out something similar: that on the whole, ASD people are probably LESS likely to commit violence. He speculates about a kind of "autistic psychopathy" subtype that is less common. I think that's where personality disorder comes into play. ASD by itself is relatively harmless in comparison, but when those traits combine with deeper personality dysfunction, things can go bad. It's still an area not well understood, I think.
Narcissistic Rage? "To put it simply, we shouldn’t be that surprised to find transgender people engaging in mass murder and the case in Nashville is a textbook example of how we would expect it to unfold. It is likely an example of what is known as “Narcissistic Rage.”" seen at https://www.unz.com/article/after-nashville-face-it-transgenders-are-nuts-transphobia-is-rational-and-joe-biden-is-an-idiot/
"So what is the average psychology of “trans” people? The same as “cis” people, right, because they’re just random people who happen to have been “born into the wrong body”?
WRONG. One detailed study of transsexuals, both male-to-female and female-to-male, found that an astonishing 80% of them suffered from a “personality disorder.” Over half of them, 57.1%, suffered from “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” – while the rest suffered from others personality disorders, such as “Borderline Personality” (although Narcissism is often considered an example of Borderline Personality). On average, the patients suffered from three different personality disorders...
Borderline Personality Disorder is marked by a deep fear of abandonment, a lack of emotional regulation and an unstable sense of self: sufferers will constantly experiment with different identities and cannot control their emotions, which they experience very strongly. Narcissistic Personality Disorder, especially of the “vulnerable” subtype, involves dealing with these feelings by telling yourself that you are perfect: by creating an idealised and exalted sense of self which, on some level, you don’t really feel. When this is challenged, the Narcissist will often experience “Narcissistic Rage” in which he must utterly destroy the thing which threatens his false sense of self and which, thus, threatens to confront him with the fragility at the heart of his being [see Shame and Narcissistic Rage in Autogynephilic Transsexualism, by Anne Lawrence, Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2008].
Good find, Jerome. Thanks!
Thanks Harrison, it is tough and once again I was completely unprepared and knocked off my feet with his response as I did not and still do not equate him or his life choices with all of the bad apples as you call them from his trans community. It was such a shock to learn he felt this way that I was pretty much left speechless and changed the subject as quickly as possible having no desire to hurt him further but we are all entitled to having our own opinions and mine haven’t changed but I will respect his boundaries as it’s the only way we can still keep our relationship. I fully agree it sucks he has become so identified with his community that he can’t even see the actual misogyny taking place in all of the areas I mentioned and that as a woman of course I would find it most of all harmful and dangerous re women’s prisons and girls changing in change rooms, and women competing against actual men in professional high contact sports; as well as being degrading and humiliating and insulting and disrespectful for ALL naturally born women and girls and that he has no concept at all of any of this is really hard to accept.
I can only speak to what we experienced and our former daughter was always so much of a tomboy from earliest memory, then when adolescence hit she came out as being gay that’s how self confident she felt at the very beginning of all this at high school for which she was relentlessly physically and verbally tormented and bullied but of course she didn’t confide anything about any of this to any of us her family, she had two older sisters too. I eventually found a Christian alternative homeschool type of program where she was able to attend daily or not ( they were very tolerant of absences) so thankfully she was able to achieve graduation where she wore black dress pants white shirt a dressy vest with a cute little black bow tie where the girls all wore feminine grad dresses. I was unaware of the horrible bullying at high school all I knew was she was skipping school a lot and dreaded going and wasn’t going to graduate if nothing changed. Her oldest sister was by this time attending college downtown for her nursing degree and said hey why don’t you come with and go there too to get your healthcare aid certificate so she did and completed the program and got her certification, and she remained gay keeping her guy style clothes she’d always worn until suddenly one day at 25 she told me “that being gay just wasn’t enough anymore and she needed to go further and was going to transition into being a male.” This was no snap decision she said that she had thought long and hard about this for the last couple of years to reach this decision that she wanted to transition and had done alot of research into it and decided that this was what she wanted and needed to do to achieve inner peace and happiness. The entirety of her life experience had brought her to this decision. It was hard to accept at first.. feeling like we were losing our tomboy daughter whom we’d known and loved for 25 years but our eldest was finally able to get us to see that whether girl or boy didn’t matter AS THIS WAS STILL THE SAME PERSON we’d known and loved for 25 years so we weren’t losing anyone! Sounds simple but it was incredibly hard to conceive of initially and things have been really good between us but now with the maniacal trans push ( he just turned 30) the subject of anything trans related is totally off limits, he has created his own boundaries with me in particular as I view the drag queen story time for young children as child sexual grooming and am strongly opposed and spoke of it to him unaware of his perceptions until I was told by him that the “entire trans community” was HIS community so anything negative I said was speaking against him and why couldn’t I see that? He has regular mental health therapy specializing in trans issues and he told me that I come up in his therapy sessions alot because he is very hurt by my being non supportive of drag queen story time and my apparent inability to see how anything I say of a negative nature re ANY aspects of the trans community hurts him personally..this just sucks needless to say. So I am now respecting his boundaries he feels he needs to keep around me by keeping my opinions and my mouth shut around him as I also take issue with the misogyny taking place around professional women’s sports, women’s only safe spaces, and the trans women pretending they have ovaries which produce eggs a uterus a cervix a womb can conceive and carry a baby to term can breast feed etc. so we are now miles apart on how we see things of a trans nature. He has no pronouns just went from being a she to now being a he, had his top surgery and strongly identifies with and is fully engaged with his trans community. Both of his sisters also millennials see things much the same way as he and fully support him and his trans community whereas his dad and I also fully support him but we see that as being completely different from fully supporting everything of the trans community that is currently being pushed onto society to accept. One case study only as I’m sure each case is different but I am giving you our personal experience and I hope it is helpful as he began transitioning long before it was en vogue with so much hype and pressure around it as is now the case.
That sounds tough, Sonya.
//until I was told by him that the “entire trans community” was HIS community so anything negative I said was speaking against him and why couldn’t I see that?//
It's too bad that people can become so identified with their community that they cease to see the bad apples amongst them.
The children are the trials......

If you watch the video of the shooter in the hallways of the school, and the shooter on the floor after the police had shot him, the trainers are obviously not the same. More chicanery and theatre me thinks!
They're the same shoes. In most shots the white stripe is covered by the hem of her cargo pants, which is visible when she opens the double doors and takes a lunging step in with her left leg. In the shot of her on the floor the angle obscures the larger patch of white that us on the side/top front of the shoe.
