"Why do you care so much?! JFC!"

Another mass shooting, and another devastated community.
And once again, elites in the media class and public officials are so terrified of offending that they don’t dare ask the obvious question: Why are so many of the most horrifying attacks carried out by people who identify as “trans”?
After Canada suffered one of its deadliest school massacres Tuesday, police identified the biologically male shooter as
18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar — noting that he began to transition six years ago.
That’s right: another deadly attack by someone who is transgender.
Yet the elites go to lengths to avoid any suggestion of a linkage.
Heck, many news outlets won’t even admit Van Rootselaar is biologically male, referring to him only as a woman.
Skirting the elephant in the room isn’t caution or a mere oversight: It’s cowardice — one we ignore at everyone’s peril.
The tragedy in British Columbia is not an isolated incident.
Over the past several years, a disturbing number of mass attacks have involved individuals who identified as transgender.
In Nashville,
a transgender-identified shooter murdered six people at a Christian school.
In Minneapolis, another attacker
with documented gender-identity turmoil targeted a church.
The alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk
had transgender associations and beliefs.
Yet the media insist that violence by mentally ill people and their transgender identity is mere coincidence.
Critics are bullied into silence, warned not to “stigmatize.”
The public is lied to in an attempt to force us to avert our eyes.
Yet when journalists knowingly discard biological reality and gloss over the link to mental health, they don’t just mislead readers; they actively interfere with our ability to understand reality, and therefore, assess danger.
For years, the public has been told that identifying as the opposite sex is simply another harmless expression of one’s self-identity.
Questioning it is dangerous, cruel — “bigotry.” Exploring whether transgender identity may signal deeper psychological distress is forbidden.
Professionals who dare to raise concerns are threatened with loss of their licenses, professional reputation and livelihood.
That dogma has consequences, as another community has learned the hard way.
Let’s admit it: Believing you’re the opposite of your biological sex is simply not a normal, or neutral, position.
It’s quite likely often a sign of some kind of psychological distress — perhaps accompanied by depression, dissociation, autism spectrum disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation and extreme social isolation.
That doesn’t mean every person with gender dysphoria is violent or even deeply sick.
But it
does mean that when young people are spiraling, we shouldn’t ignore the signs — or worse, affirm their delusions.
Alas, mental health professionals insist we do just that.
And after each case in which a perp is ID’d as transgender, there’s the same response: frantic efforts to minimize identity, sanitize language and insist nothing meaningful could possibly be learned from focusing on the attacker’s sexual orientation.
Yet the common denominator isn’t even identity; again, it’s untreated — or mistreated — mental illness.
Patterns don’t disappear because they make us uncomfortable.
In a small Canadian town today, families are grieving. Yet officials and journalists try to edit reality so no one feels uncomfortable.
This is not compassion. It’s criminal.
If someone denies basic biological truths about themselves, that is evidence of distress — not a brave new identity to be endlessly affirmed.
And pumping vulnerable teenagers full of hormones and psychotropic drugs could exacerbate their distress.
Silencing doctors who raise concerns does not improve outcomes.
Constantly telling those who ID as trans that they’re under attack, let alone that they have to take up arms to defend themselves from abuse and violence, is all but programming them to lash out.
All of this ensures a reckoning.
Every time the media refuse to report plainly, every time officials tiptoe around obvious facts, every time ideology is allowed to override common sense, we invite another tragedy.
And then we’ll hear the same hollow refrain: There were no warning signs.
Yet there were signs; we just weren’t allowed to take note of them.
Until we can speak these truths, we will keep lighting candles, burying innocents and lying to ourselves about why this keeps happening.
And that may be the most dangerous delusion of all.
