When newspapers publish stories using the phrase “her testicles,” it’s easy to add laughter to the tears that always accompany reports demonstrating the complete breakdown of reality in modern America. There is no laughter, though, when trying to decipher the biological sex of the school shooter who killed three children and three adults in Nashville (snip) She was, quite simply, a completely evil woman, although I’m certain that her sense of victimhood due to her untreated mental illness exacerbated the sense of ill-usage that drove her to slaughter children.

The alphabets do not know how to report mass shootings by members of the alphabet community. The he/she/it/them/they/who-knows-what community are not violent say the community. Unfortunately the he/she/it/them/they/who-knows-what community are humans with the same shite for brains that goes haywire every now and then. Reporting on the mass shooting will soon disappear.

"...from such turn away..."
Sat under a pastor for many years who seemed to ignore this Scriptural admonition.
A lot of people are willfully anti-Christian. We need to pray for those in our circle of acquaintance, but use discernment in all relationships.

Andrea points out how, historically, societies treat sexual extremes one of three ways.
The "dying societies give the non-standard sexualities pride of place at the very heart of the culture."
In both the dying Greek and dying Roman Empires eunichs were used as bodyguards by elites who were scared of their own people.
Their own red-blooded men were especially scary because they would side with their own family instead of the elite who needed protection.
Ancient Greek and Roman elites thus used every excuse to CREATE eunichs.
We're seeing that here, too, all of a sudden.

I had the same reaction to news reports. What the hell are we talking about with "transgender woman". I, too, thought this meant a biological male identifying as female, like the ones so ready to whup women in sporting events. Wrong! But, you know the Dems will not let this crisis go to waste. They will start, slowly but surely, making the narrative about "hateful" Christians and, thus, the "hate" spewed by this school. I can just hear Chuck Schumer warming up.

The media and the libs (same thing) are already turning this into a 'ban the guns' story. ''What victims?''

I generally struggle to navigate the fluid vocabulary but never found it so difficult as in this case. A while ago I adopted the rule of thumb that how ever they describe the person goes along with the persons fantasy so I conclude the opposite. A girls name means a boy, a boys name means a girl.
Apparently this was a girl who thought she could triumph over biology and nature and become a boy. I must have been thrown off because they called her Audrey which my mind is wired to speculate must be Andrew, maybe Bob.

Those who actually 'suffer' from transgenderism are less deluded than those who blindly follow it as a political dogma. If the dysphoria is a mental illness, it can be addressed as such. What do you do with the malevolent left wingers intent on using as a weapon of social destruction?

“ She was, quite simply, a completely evil woman….”
I’ve been posting this here for a very long time, but it bears repeating -
We do not have a “gun violence” problem in this country; we have an “evil Godless people” problem.

Excuse this off topic post: This morning, as expected, the CNN home page is loaded with anti-Second Amendment propaganda. And the word ‘transgender” is not found in CNN reports on the Nashville killings.

The shooter is a man. How hard is that?

Liberals avoid EVER having to admit that anyone in their extended LGBT+ whatever community can do anything wrong! When something like this happens it always gets blamed on the victims! One very amusing twist happened during a Pride Parade in Ft. Lauderdale a few years back when a vehicle went astray killing bystanders. Of course the blame got broadcast as a hate crime until they discovered the person driving was just a drunken or drugged part of their cherished group! All of a sudden it became a sad coincidence ??? Just steer clear of these people as they are very volatile and always ready to challenge normalcy!

People need to face reality, no matter how you slice it those who think they were born in the wrong gender are dealing with a mental illness. There are those on the left who encourage these confused, mentally ill people to "transition". Transitioning is an act that most, if not all come to regret. It's no surprise that a person dealing with a mental illness would resort to an act like this. Before any medical expert does the surgery to transition an individual it should be required that the person undergo several years of psychiatric therapy. Unhappy people who transition become unhappy transitioned people.

I can't remember seeing a report on a female mass killer shooter, except, in the 1990s (maybe 1980s?), there was a female student who had been suspended from her high school that shot up her local elementary school's playground.
This may explain this shooting: "possibly being hopped up on testosterone."
And why would a woman be hopped up on testosterone? It's mystifying; I just can't understand it. (Oodlles of sarcasm.)

Incoherenc?
Pure insanity, denial of reality, flying in the face of hard, immutable scientific facts. Way less real than mere incoherence.

Well, now there can be no debate that Trans people are mentally ill people and need phycological help. Will pedo Joe call for all of them to be put on a national registry as potentially dangerous and domestic terrorist? Have all their fire arms removed and put on an ATF list, never to own a fire arm again? NO, they will get invited to the white house first, for more photo ops on what a welcome addition they are to society.

Although it's a rare example, this mass murder was committed by a female, not a male. The killer was trying unsuccessfully to live as a male, although there's apparently nothing more "toxic male" than going off and killing a lot of people (I write that with a snort of disgust). The so-called manifesto hasn't been reported in depth, but it will be no saner than the Unabomber's communications.
Because various press organizations have so royally screwed up the use of pronouns because of this tranny nonsense--even enshrined it in the AP style book--I read four stories yesterday that left me in doubt as to the sex of the perpetrator. Now we know she thought she was a he and went out of her mind. Confusion of the language is, of course, a tactic of the Left, and of the devil.

RE #10:
Actually, testosterone was a woman who thought she was a man. But I can see how confusing this can be with the way it was reported.

That should read: "Actually the shooter. . . ."
(An edit button here would be ideal)

Actually, #10, the shooter was a WOMAN who had pretended to be a man.
