Transgender Violence, Mental Health, And Media Responsibility

Transgender Violence, Mental Health, And Media Responsibility

Eight people dead within days and two countries, and yet the first casualty was clarity. We open the mic on a hard truth: when mental distress goes unmanaged, when policy favors speed over stability, and when media framing outruns facts, families get left to carry the wreckage. We walk through two fresh tragedies and connect them to earlier cases, highlighting documented histories of instability, prior police calls, and a pattern of warning signs that never turned into effective prevention.

We also unpack the quieter shift that changed how care is delivered: the move from classifying gender-related distress as a mental disorder to placing it in sexual health. That decision helped reduce stigma and unlock coverage, but it also reoriented treatment toward affirming medical steps while the slow, essential work of therapy, family mediation, and crisis planning often lagged. Add the volatility of hormones, the complexity of psychiatric meds, and algorithm-driven outrage online, and you get a combustible mix where vulnerable people are pushed toward loud answers instead of lasting help.
Rigorous mental health assessments, coordinated care and media standards that report facts without euphemism while centering victims. We share compassion for people in distress, insist on responsible systems, and call for policies that buy time for healing instead of racing toward irreversible steps. If you want less heat and more light on a topic too often reduced to slogans, this conversation is for you.

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.719
In less than a week's time, eight people have been murdered.

00:00:04.959 --> 00:00:09.359
In both cases, the one behind the gun was transgender.

00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.320
Today, we examine the connection.

00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:28.079
We look at the impact of prescription drugs, hormonal imbalances, mental illness, social media, and the World Health Organization's pivotal classification change that opened the gates to chaos.

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:30.559
Let me tell you something.

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:31.839
Everybody's drug.

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.600
The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.079
The choice is completely yours.

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.399
Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life.

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.480
So excited to be back with you.

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:45.760
Oh, it is true.

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:47.680
It is damn true.

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:49.760
Why is it true?

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.040
How do I know it's true?

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.719
Because I love you, boo.

00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.200
Woo! Episode 293 between you and me.

00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:04.239
That means we have consecutively gathered week after week for 293 consecutive weeks.

00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.040
That goes all the way back to the year 2020.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.680
The summer of 2020.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.000
July, to be exact.

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.039
Man, it feels like forever ago.

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.479
But here we are, yet again gathered together as friends.

00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:27.120
This podcast is properly named, precisely named Share the Struggle, because everybody struggles.

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:43.520
The truth is we just come together each and every week, bold enough, courageous enough to share our struggles, whether they are individually or whether they are personally or whether they are just across this great here land, whatever it is, we come here together to share it.

00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:54.479
Because the truth is, when we are willing to share, there is strength in that story, there is strength in that struggle, and together we shall pull through.

00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:31.840
Okay, okay, with that out the way, let's get into the topic of the day.

00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:50.400
In the matter of a week's time, actually I think it's less than a week's time, there have been two shootings, separate locations, separate countries, one in Canada, one in America, where the individual behind the gun was a transgender.

00:03:50.879 --> 00:04:06.240
In both occasions, as the news of the shooting gets released, both local authorities are afraid to come out and say that the shooter is transgender.

00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:22.240
Even when the press or political figures or responding officers are unwilling to say, eventually the truth shows its face, and it gets reported yet again that this individual is transgender.

00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:31.360
No matter how they want to go about it, however, they want to mislabel it, however they want to identify it, the truth comes out.

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:37.920
This shooting is yet another transgender individual behind the gun.

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:23.199
Even if you want to protect the individuals or that community, I can understand if that's how you feel, but reporting it and repeating it at the time of such a violent, senseless act is just ridiculous.

00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.240
It's uncalled for.

00:05:43.759 --> 00:06:09.839
It's amazing to me that this is the instant reaction of these people, whether they're politicians, whether it's people behind the camera on a mainstream news media channel, um, if it's the law enforcement at these local areas that are afraid to report because they don't want the riots that are going to happen at their doorstep, if it's the people that are afraid to say what they feel because they're worried about the social media backlash.

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:23.199
I don't know what the situation here is, but in a time of senseless violence, we need to just call out what it is a spade for a spade, speak the truth and report the news.

00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.279
That's the world I grew up in.

00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.000
That's not the world that we are in anymore.

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:35.680
Now, before repeating the news or giving the facts, but rather run it through the screening process to make sure that nobody's offended.

00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.600
Would rather put it through the microscopic lens of does my constituents approve of this?

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.759
Does my support group approve of this?

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.480
Am I going to offend somebody that's paying for something?

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.879
I feel like everything gets looked at through that lens.

00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.800
Like, this is my support group.

00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:52.000
I get this from them.

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.160
Boy, I don't want to riot from them.

00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:01.759
Everybody looks at things with that perspective through that lens, as opposed to looking at the victims and what's wrong in this situation.

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.920
How do we recover from this situation?

00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.439
How do we send sympathy and help and support during the situation?

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.600
No, let's be sensitive to the people committing the crime.

00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.120
I'm over that.

00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.560
And uh today we're gonna we're gonna tap into that.

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:22.560
A few minutes ago, I shed light on the fact that this here podcast started back in 2020.

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.319
So if you've been around since the beginning, if you're one of my day ones, my loyal ones, number one, get your ones up.

00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.360
I acknowledge you and I appreciate you and I thank you.

00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:39.600
Number two, I want to shout out if you've been listening, do you recall an episode we had back in 2023?

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:56.560
And if you're new here, then um I welcome you to this year podcast and I encourage you to go back to the year 2023 when we gathered yet again as friends, devastated over the news of a shooting in Nashville at the Covenant School.

00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:03.920
The shooter in that situation, in that uh mass murder situation, was yet again transgender.

00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:12.959
August 27th, a Catholic church school shooting in Minneapolis, again, transgender.

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:20.000
The two shootings that I just referenced, February 10th, uh school shooting in Canada.

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.160
We're gonna dig into that one a little bit more.

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:30.000
February 16th, uh Pothocket, Rhode Island at an ice hockey senior night event.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:43.440
If we start to broaden our lens here a little bit, the Charlie Kirk assassination, the killer was in a romantic relationship with a transitioning transgender.

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:59.840
If we think about the person that tried to um assassinate President Trump, that fired the um the bullet at President Trump, that individual identified as he, him, they, them, whatever.

00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.919
In these situations, we are looking at transgender transitioning stories.

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:18.720
We now have eight people murdered in less than a week, two separate occasions, as I mentioned, the 10th and the 16th.

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:48.320
We stole in this recent shooting here on the 16th, there's still two people, I believe, that are in critical condition because the uh trans individual, this man, went in, shot his ex-wife, murdered his ex-wife, murdered one of his children, shot and killed himself, but before doing so, also attempted to murder his former in-laws, and they are now recovering, hopefully recovering.

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:57.440
I know they were in critical condition the last time I heard, and he leaves behind, I believe, two other children, one of them that was during was, you know, in the actual hockey uh meet.

00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.080
So I think he leaves behind two children.

00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.519
Of those two children, think about life from their perspective.

00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:12.960
They lost their mother and their father and one of their siblings, and potentially their grandparents, all in one day, due to their father's actions.

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:19.679
Killed his ex-wife, one of his children, and then himself.

00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:29.039
And reports are that a good Samaritan, a standby Samaritan, jumped in um to prevent any further shootings.

00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.639
So thank the Lord for that person being there.

00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.320
The details haven't come out if they wrestled uh this man down.

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.399
Originally, I was like, was that maybe the the standby individual, the Good Samaritan?

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.399
Maybe he was carrying a gun, but I didn't hear that.

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:50.960
I think that the um the uh the fella Robert that committed these this heinous acts, I believe he shot himself.

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:56.639
Um but this instantly comes out and is classified as gun violence.

00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.720
And this isn't a gun violence, in my opinion.

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:06.879
This is a mental illness situation, in my opinion.

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:13.679
Robert underwent reassignment surgery in um, I think 2020.

00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:25.360
Yeah, it was 2020 that Robert underwent reassignment surgery, which he was, I believe, married at the time, and that was the pivotal point that obviously led to their divorce.

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:38.960
Apparently, in some of the court records and some of the findings, as I'm looking through over the internet, um, listed in that divorce decision was also his narcissistic personality disorder traits.

00:11:40.080 --> 00:12:05.519
And since this um act of violence, this heinous act, Robert's daughter that has been left behind has come out and said that her father suffered through great mental illness, um, a narcissistic personality, and several other just personality disorder traits that often led to um disagreements, spouts, and arguments and fights between between family.

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.919
So obviously, this all leads right back to this, right?

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.399
So this resulted in a divorce.

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:21.360
Over the years, it looks like you know, Robert would show up to hockey games and different family events dressed like a woman as he transitioned, and that would start some fights.

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:29.440
I've seen recently online that um that Robert might have actually worked here in Maine at uh General Dynamics BIW.

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.320
I believe he was an electrician, at least that's what I'm seeing online.

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:37.919
So some routes here to the state of Maine, which is uh obviously where I'm located.

00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:48.879
If we look at the uh Canada situation, that was an 18-year-old Canadian who identified as a girl since the age of 12.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.600
Did y'all catch that?

00:12:52.080 --> 00:13:01.600
This individual is 18 years old, is a guy, a young man, that has identified as a girl since age twelve.

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:14.559
This this child murdered his mother and stepfather, then traveled to their school and shot and killed five more students.

00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.840
Let's just break this down for a second.

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:24.240
18-year-old kills their mother and stepfather.

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.600
The details are that this individual identified as a girl from the age of twelve.

00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:46.399
For me, on the outside, I'm gonna make the assumption that that means your mother and stepfather allowed you to make the decision at the age of twelve to identify as a girl and spend the next six years living that way.

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:55.600
Yet you returned the favor to them with a bullet, then traveled to his school and shot and killed five students.

00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.519
Again, this individual had a documented history of mental illness.

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:15.759
Cops had responded to this house multiple times for um, you know, mental health calls, even at one time, seized firearms from the premises based off of some local laws.

00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:23.519
I hope that we are starting to raise some red flags just in the description of today's show.

00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:32.720
If we um slow down a little bit before we speed up and get through all the details, Robert, the individual in Rhode Island, transitioned.

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:46.879
That individual has multiple um identified mental disorders, documented mental disorders, and has family vouching for uh these mental disorders as well.

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:51.039
It's documented even in court um uh documents.

00:14:51.919 --> 00:15:11.039
This 18-year-old been living their life for six years as a girl with diagnosed, documented history of mental illness, to the point where law enforcement had been called to the house multiple times and weapons were seized from the household.

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.679
Both of these individuals suffer from a mental illness.

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.720
If we go back to Robert, he had reassignment surgery in 2020.

00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.320
Let's think about this, folks.

00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:38.399
Both people suffering from from massive mental illnesses, and if you're transitioning and you're having a reassignment surgery, there's a lot of hormonal, harsh drugs that come along with the surgery.

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:47.279
You are rewriting God's wiring on you, and to do so, you need drastic hormones to do so.

00:15:48.639 --> 00:16:01.200
How is it okay to take people suffering with mental disorders that are taking mental medication that already has major impacts on your internal wiring?

00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:29.279
And then we're gonna go ahead and shoot them up with an with a crazy hormonal imbalance, and I'm not gonna sit here and pretend to know what goes into all these medications, but I can imagine if I'm giving somebody medicine to change their genetics, to change them from a male to a woman, from a woman to a male, if I'm doing so, I'm wreaking major havoc, and this has to be massively potent stuff.

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.399
Can we slow this down some more?

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:34.480
Mental disorder.

00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:49.039
These people are suffering, they are vulnerable, they are getting medication for their current situation, and then we're going to pour it on them, inject them, fill them with a hormonal crazy imbalance.

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:57.840
I was gonna save this to the end, but I'm gonna start sprinkling it here in the beginning.

00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:12.480
It's all the the medical practices that go with this, it's all the doctors that administer this, it's all the politicians that okay this, shame on you.

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:14.720
Shame on you.

00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:22.240
These eight people in this specific situation, their blood is on your hands.

00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:32.640
Those innocent children and that shooting in Nashville, the innocent children in Minnesota, their blood is on your hands.

00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.559
I don't know how you choose to sleep at night.

00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:51.680
This has a direct result from your decisions, from your your policies, from your theories and philosophies and beliefs.

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:53.759
I hope that sets with you.

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.680
I hope that resonates with you.

00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:04.400
That Minnesota shooter opened fire and killed two children.

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.839
They also left a disturbing manifesto.

00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.519
That shooter left a note that said he was tired of being trans.

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:24.240
And he wished he never brainwashed himself.

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.079
The shooter.

00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:28.319
The death of two innocent children.

00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:40.640
A note was left behind the murderer saying he was tired of being trans and wish he never brainwashed himself.

00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:49.279
Doctors, practitioners, politicians.

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:54.480
If you're behind this, I hope that this resonates with you.

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.880
Those two innocent children's lives ended because of you.

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.920
You fueled the brainwashing.

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:08.799
You assisted in the brainwashing, you gave prescriptions to help with the brainwashing.

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.440
This is not okay, America.

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.119
This needs to stop America.

00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:30.559
There's a social media post from Charlie Kirk that's been circling since um this past week's events, and um Charlie Kirk had come out and he called for trans to be banned from owning guns.

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:43.680
He had a post that said, If you are crazy enough to want to hormonally and surgically change your sex, you have a mental disorder and you shouldn't own a firearm.

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.160
I can't disagree with what Charlie Kirk is saying here.

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:56.720
If you are crazy enough to want to hormonally and surgically change your sex, you have a mental disorder and you shouldn't own a firearm.

00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:08.400
Nothing here is saying that you can't have the surgery, but what's being said here is you're not stable enough to own a firearm if you really truly want to have that surgery.

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:10.160
That is a mental disorder.

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.240
There is a mental imbalance.

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:24.160
I read some further research that said that 39% of all LGBTQ young people seriously considered suicide.

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:25.440
39%.

00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:46.240
In the same test, forty percent of all surveyed LGBTQ young people report of having a gun in their home.

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.559
Can we draw some kind of connection here?

00:20:54.720 --> 00:21:09.440
It blows my mind to think about this Rhode Island situation and the governor coming out saying, you know, we've created a sanctuary city and environment, and we want to be here to protect and to unite our trans community.

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.039
How can we have these conversations in the moment of death?

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:16.400
That's not how this society should work.

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:25.920
While preparing for today's show, doing some research, trying to educate myself to bring good talking points to the show, I stumbled upon something that I did not know.

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.359
There's a critical change that happened.

00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:31.440
I was unaware of that change.

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:33.599
I'm gonna start by saying this.

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:41.680
Wanting to transition or identifying as transgender was historically labeled as a mental disorder.

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:50.240
It was previously diagnosed as gender identity disorder or transsexualism.

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:58.240
Being a disorder comes with a mental illness diagnosis or label.

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.759
So it was diagnosed.

00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:05.680
Diagnosed as a gender identity disorder, that disorder is a mental illness.

00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.880
We then treat the disorder or illness.

00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:20.079
We help you to overcome the disorder or the illness, much like other mental health aspects, like you know, multiple personality and ADHD and OCD.

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:24.000
We treat to overcome, we treat to help.

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:32.720
Well, that previously diagnosed gender identity disorder is now looked at as a gender incongruence.

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:44.640
In fact, it is looked at as a condition related to sexual health, not at all a mental illness.

00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.279
This is no longer a mental illness.

00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.519
Not a mental illness at all.

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:12.559
In 2019, the World Health Organization formally removed the disorder from the mental illness classification and moved it to a sexual health chapter.

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:28.480
Gender identity disorder is now gender dysorphia, which is a clinical term for the distress caused by a mismatch between assigned sex and gender.

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:46.640
We moved from a mental illness, we moved from a disorder to a clinical term for the distress caused by a mismatch between assigned sex and gender.

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.880
It's listed this way for diagnostic and insurance reasons.

00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.480
Why?

00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:18.480
Because now it is recognized as a condition requiring care to alleviate distress, not a disorder to be cured, to be approved upon, but instead, this is now a sexual health condition that's requiring care to alleviate distress.

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.559
This is no longer a disorder.

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:22.319
We need to alleviate distress.

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:25.519
This is now a sexual health situation.

00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.559
With that said, I did some more research and I want to read some of the facts with you.

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:43.839
Gender dysorphia is not considered a mental illness in the traditional sense, but rather a clinical term for the distress caused by a mismatch between assigned sex and gender identity.

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:55.599
While listed in the DSM V for diagnostic and insurance purposes, it is recognized as a condition requiring care to alleviate distress, not a disorder to be cured.

00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.759
Digging into some of the details on here, this is kind of outlining what we've been talking about.

00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:04.000
There's some key details that they list on gender dysorphea.

00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:06.480
Digging first into the definition.

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:17.920
It is the psychological, emotional, and physical distress resulting from an incongruence between one's sex assigned at birth and their gender identity.

00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:19.920
DSM 5 status.

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:30.079
The American Cytriatic Association classifies it as a diagnosis to facilitate access to gender-affirming health care.

00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:31.920
Bada bing bada boom.

00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.640
We have the culprit in the room.

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:51.599
This new sexual health diagnosis comes with its DSM 5 status, which the American Psychiatric Association classifies it as a diagnosis to facilitate access to gender-affirming health care.

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.119
It goes on to say this is not an illness.

00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:58.160
It is distinct from mental illness.

00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:05.039
Though untreated, it can lead to or coexist with mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:14.319
Distinction from transgender, being transgender is not a mental disorder, only the distress, dysorphia, associated with it diagnosed.

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:21.839
Treatment focuses on alleviating distress through gender-affirming care, including social, hormonal, or surgical transition.

00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:30.880
The World Health Organization has also moved away from classifying it under a mental disorder instead of placing it under sexual health conditions.

00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:34.400
WHO World Health Organization.

00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:44.400
This situation, this shit, this tragedy, this violence, these murders, this heartbreak is on your hands.

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:46.880
All you care about is the treatment.

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:52.400
All you care about is the dollars and cents that comes from the prescriptions that come from the surgeries.

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:53.920
You're preying on people.

00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:56.319
You are preying on people that are vulnerable.

00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:02.079
If I step up and defend the transgender community right now, they are vulnerable people.

00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.799
They feel outcasted.

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.319
They feel that, you know, they're put on an island.

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:12.480
They feel that everybody's out to get them, that people are making fun of them.

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:14.880
They feel trapped in their own bodies.

00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:16.319
They're vulnerable.

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:31.200
And they go on social media, which breeds more hate and malcontent, because you have mainstream media out there putting fake, ridiculous nonsense on all avenues of the news, making everybody live in fear.

00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:45.119
You're preying on these people in the transgender community, making them feel that they're outcasts, that their life's in danger, they should live in fear, they should hide in their house because everybody else in society hates them and wants them dead.

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.440
That's what social media makes them feel like.

00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.200
They are vulnerable people.

00:27:49.440 --> 00:28:07.359
Shame, shame, shame on the mainstream media for just pushing hate, for breeding violence, and putting all this stuff in their face, and an overwhelming shame on the medical industry for just feasting on these vulnerable people.

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:23.359
You took a diagnosis from a disorder, from a mental illness that would give them the opportunity to heal themselves, to cure themselves, to make themselves feel better, to make themselves feel more comfortable in their own skin.

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:34.559
Instead, you turn it to a sexual health condition, resulting in the opportunity for more hormones, for more drugs, for more prescriptions, and for surgeries.

00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:36.240
You're preying on the vulnerable.

00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:45.680
You care more about the dollars from Big Pharma, you care more about the surgeries than you do these people and their lives.

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:47.200
It's unbelievable.

00:28:47.440 --> 00:29:07.839
And if we keep thinking about how vulnerable they are, if you can imagine somebody that doesn't feel comfortable in their own skin, if you can imagine somebody that doesn't agree with their own birth right, like their own birth sex, they feel that they are, you know, a woman living in a man's body.

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:15.200
There's clearly an ongoing extreme mental battle for this person.

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:28.960
Going untreated, going without any help, they're gonna spend the rest of their lives just chewing themselves up inside over not agreeing with their body, not being comfortable with who they are.

00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:35.839
Because you refuse to treat the illness, you refuse to attack the mental disorder to help these people.

00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.920
So instead, we're gonna pump you full of hormones.

00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:47.039
We're gonna help you with this sexual, this the sexual health situation you have here, because we feel like you're stable.

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:50.880
You don't need the mental disorder, you don't need the drugs to help with that.

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:55.440
We're gonna focus on the sexual situation here, and we're gonna pump you full of hormones.

00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:58.799
So you already don't like yourself, you already feel uncomfortable.

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:06.480
Let's go ahead and rewrite God's wiring on you and change everything about you, and then see if you still feel any better.

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:44.240
Then while we're pumping you full of hormones, and we have you not knowing whether you're coming or going, if you're up or you're down, and you can't know which way to turn around, you're gonna open your phone, you're gonna go on social media, and you're gonna see all the nonsense, you're gonna see all the hate, you're gonna turn on, you're gonna turn on the news, and you're gonna see all the protests and all the rallies, and you're gonna see, you know, these purple-haired, freaking woe is me, attention-seeking freaking whores out there trying to stop ICE, trying to protect immigrants, trying to do all these crazy things, and you're gonna think that's a rallying cry, and those are my people, and let me go there for strength and for safety.

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:59.359
And all of these things are happening, and nothing's curing the situation, nothing's focusing on the disorder, nothing's focusing on helping you to feel better, nothing's focusing on making you enjoy what God gave you, nothing's focusing on making you feel healthy.

00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:00.880
No, we're masking it.

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:14.720
And while you're hepped up on these hormones, while you have all this medication pumping through your veins, you're looking for support and you're finding it in the wrong areas because the mainstream media and social media makes you feel like you're an outcast.

00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:20.559
And the more that you feel like an outcast in your own body, you have all forms of media telling you you should feel that way.

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:23.680
So you look for people that you can unite with, that you can connect with.

00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:31.920
And before you know it, you're believing into and buying into causes that you have no real sense to, no real connection to.

00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:35.599
You didn't care about any of these causes, but you felt a sense of belonging.

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.559
You cling to these causes because you thought, these are my people.

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:44.960
These are the people that are going to stand up for me and my sexual rights and my beliefs, and they're gonna see me for how I see myself.

00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.480
I don't care what else it is that they believe in or what they want to push on.

00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.440
I'm going to them for me because I need a safe space.

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:53.279
I feel outcasted with my family.

00:31:53.440 --> 00:32:02.880
I need something to cling to, so you cling to it, and before you know it, you are also just subscribing to the doctrine, and you're beginning to follow all the things that they're saying and telling you.

00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:06.880
And there's bad evildoers out there that want to use you for violence.

00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:14.079
And far too often these people that are vulnerable get preyed upon and they get they get brainwashed into thinking you can do this.

00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:20.319
They get brainwashed into thinking you can go out and and assassinate Charlie Kirk and end this movement.

00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:25.119
You can go out and try to assassinate the president of the United States and you can end their movement.

00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:32.319
You can go into a freaking church and shoot innocent children, and that's going to change the way that Christians believe.

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.200
All these things come to these people because they are vulnerable and they're being preyed upon.

00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.079
Media and medicine, you are to blame.

00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:44.160
This is disgusting.

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:53.680
I'm not saying that people won't still get guns, but I'm saying if we don't try to help the ones that are sick, then nothing will ever change.

00:32:54.319 --> 00:33:03.680
I agree with Charlie Kirk when he said that if you want to hormonally and surgically change your sex, you have a mental disorder and you shouldn't own a firearm.

00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:17.759
I will also agree with the fact that no matter what labels we post out there, no matter what restrictions we put out there, bad people with bad intentions will always find a way to get a weapon.

00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:19.920
No matter what restrictions are placed.

00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.880
And I'm not saying that means we shouldn't place restrictions.

00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:36.720
I'm a firm believer if someone's transitioning, if someone's taking some of these prescriptions, as soon as they do, there should be a flag that gets labeled, that gets notified, that comes up on a background check that prevents you from buying a weapon legally.

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:38.240
That should happen.

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:47.200
That does not prevent them from acquiring a weapon because, like I said before, bad people, bad intentions, you're gonna find a way.

00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:50.960
But I don't disagree with the flag being placed.

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:55.119
I do disagree with the diagnosis being changed.

00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:59.119
I do disagree with not wanting to help treat these people.

00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:03.519
I do disagree with no longer viewing this as a mental illness.

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.480
God created you the way he created you.

00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:12.159
God created you perfect in his eyes and in your parents' eyes, and that's the way for you to be.

00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.360
I'm a wholehearted believer in that fact.

00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:18.239
You came here with a purpose.

00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:20.159
And you're destined for greatness.

00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:22.079
We all come here with that opportunity.

00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:24.559
I don't believe you should change.

00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:30.960
But I understand there's people out there, I know people that spent their life believing they should change.

00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:36.639
They spent their life believing that they were living somebody else's life.

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:40.400
I grew up with a young man that felt that way.

00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:48.719
I always knew there was something different, but I didn't understand it until later on I learned that he, you know, felt this way, and I understand that.

00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:57.039
But my question is, because I don't know this, if treated and helped when he was a young child, where would he be today?

00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:02.239
And I'm not speaking, you know, for him in a situation and I'm certain that he's happy with his decisions.

00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:08.400
I'm just saying this as an example that I know some people that have struggled with this, but I often wonder about this.

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.039
If we treated and diagnosed and helped, how would you feel today?

00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:20.960
Versus chalking it up as a sexual health classification and assisting you with transition.

00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:32.000
To think about an eight-year-old, a 12-year-old getting you know hormonal drugs to change their genetic wiring is mind-blowing to me.

00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:38.400
We've talked before about age restrictions on when some of these surgeries should happen.

00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:47.599
We read a manifesto from a man who murdered children in Minneapolis saying, I regret brainwashing myself.

00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.079
I no longer no longer want to be trans, and I brainwashed myself.

00:35:52.639 --> 00:36:05.920
They're vulnerable and they're fighting a mental illness, and they're allowing themselves to be brainwashed, and the medical industry and media is encouraging it.

00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:10.400
Since 2020, think of the timing here.

00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:14.000
2019, WHO changed the classification.

00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:17.840
2020, this seems to become a popular occurrence.

00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:28.079
People start wanting to transition, we start having marches and protests for trans rights, we start focusing on the DEI, all-inclusive movement.

00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:34.400
We start focusing on you know kickbacks for hiring DEI hires and all these different things.

00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:38.639
We start looking at the pronouns and changing languages.

00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:43.599
People start to push to remove amen from church because it's sexist.

00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.880
All these things happened around 2020.

00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:48.880
This movement happened around 2020.

00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:53.519
So 2019, WHO changes this classification.

00:36:54.000 --> 00:37:01.920
And by doing so, it grants them the opportunity to help with transitions, to give you hormones, and to help you surgically transition.

00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:06.000
And now, all of a sudden, magically, it becomes a popular thing.

00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:17.280
Now, all of a sudden, magically, there's protest, there's there's name changes, there's rewards being placed, there's opportunities being created if you are LGBTQ.

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.239
All of a sudden, their flags are being placed in schools and the American flags are coming down.

00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.280
They're not getting equal rights, they're getting more rights.

00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:30.719
All of a sudden, these things start to happen, and it starts to become cool and vogue and the thing to do.

00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.400
And all of a sudden, there's adolescents that are being corrupted by this.

00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:48.719
All of a sudden, you have teenage kids that are now LGBTQ something, and now you have kids with tails pissing in litter boxes in schools, and now all of a sudden you have men playing women's sports in schools.

00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:53.280
Now all of a sudden, you have eight-year-old boys saying that they want to be girls.

00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:55.519
This isn't a coincidence.

00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:58.000
I'm telling you.

00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:10.239
These things happened in conjunction, these things happened for a reason.

00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:18.000
These people care more about dollars and chaos than they do about me and you.

00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:19.199
And it's sad.

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:24.320
And I don't know what needs to happen, but something needs to happen.

00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:33.119
For the amount of people that would be listening and saying, hey, you only outlined a handful of these mass shootings that are all transgender.

00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:39.360
There's a lot more other shootings out there that are just crazy friggin' white men.

00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:41.519
Well, I'm not gonna disagree with you.

00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:48.079
I am gonna say all the most recent shootings I can think of, there's been a transgender individual behind it.

00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:58.480
And I'm also gonna point out to you the population of transgender versus every other friggin' population in this country is very, very small.

00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:07.119
So you have a very tiny percent of the population that continues to pop up at a higher rate for these mass shootings.

00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:18.400
That means you have a very smaller opportunity for somebody to be trans to commit this type of violence, but it's happening at a much higher rate than any other demographic.

00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:21.199
That tells me there's something wrong.

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:24.559
That tells me something needs to change.

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:34.159
We're talking about people that are not getting mental health medicine, they're getting hormonal change medicine, and they're having this imbalance.

00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:38.159
What about the people that are taking the medicine for bipolar disorder?

00:39:38.320 --> 00:40:03.599
Maybe they are taking the medicine for anxiety, the medicine for OCD, the medicine for, you know, for whichever disorder you can think of, and then that in itself has to be a very high potency in very many instances that is working overtime to make you feel better, and then we're gonna change your whole hormonal imbalance, and then we're gonna cut off your pecker, we're gonna turn it into something else.

00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:05.920
Think about what's happening.

00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:23.280
If we don't know how to process how we feel, and we're getting pumped so full of medicine, how can you even begin to think you can rationalize with this world and the level of crazy that happens in this world each and every day?

00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:36.800
Even the most sane and organized and self-fricking centered, well-balanced individual wants to scream on a daily basis over some of the chaos and crazy they see in this world.

00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:49.199
If you are fighting with whether you even like yourself, if you are fighting with the fact that you were somebody else living in this body, can you imagine handling this world?

00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:52.639
We need to help these people.

00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:55.519
We need to help these people.

00:40:56.079 --> 00:41:03.599
I don't want this podcast to be me singling out, I don't want this to be me alienating the transgender community.

00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:07.280
I'm encouraging them by saying, I feel for you.

00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:11.360
I understand what you're going through, or I'm trying to understand what you're going through.

00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:12.800
I want help for you.

00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.199
I don't think you need to have these surgeries.

00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:21.119
If you're a man and you want to dress like a girl and you're 25 and 30 and that's how you feel, then you do you.

00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:38.960
I don't think it's right for you to have all these hormonal changes that are rewiring God's wiring, that is changing the way you think and feel and breathe and move in a way that you might not be able to control or to ever come back from.

00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:40.800
I worry about that.

00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:47.519
I don't think that these drugs should be administered and they certainly shouldn't be as easy to get as they are.

00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:54.800
And it blows my mind to think of all the states that want to allow this to happen without even parental consent.

00:41:55.039 --> 00:42:08.800
Can you imagine letting a 12-year-old boy make this fatal final decision to transition to then get to 25 and say, What the hell did I do with myself?

00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:12.800
Can you imagine them trying to live that new life?

00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:24.079
No, they're gonna end up like the person in Minnesota that said, I I can't get over the fact that I brainwashed myself into feeling this way, I'm ending it this way.

00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:26.159
We need to make this stop.

00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:32.079
These surgeries, these these drugs, this medicine needs to stop.

00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:34.559
We need to put a stop to it.

00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:39.840
Because above and beyond even the shootings, there's a lot of other things that aren't okay.

00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:49.679
There's a lot of other rage and hate and anxiety and violence that goes on each and every day from these individuals that are getting pumped full of this medicine.

00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:59.360
If you want to dress like a girl, if you want to wear a skirt, if you want to change your name, you want to do all that, then you get old enough to make that final decision for yourself to do that.

00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.320
But I don't believe we should surgically help you.

00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:05.440
I don't believe we should medically encourage you.

00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:12.159
I think we should be here to help treat you, to help you feel comfortable with your own skin because we all deserve to love ourselves.

00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:21.840
And I only want you to love yourself because if you can love yourself, then you're gonna be a little bit more compassionate and passionate for your neighbor and your friend and your coworker or the stranger on the street.

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.280
And this world needs a heck of a lot more passion and compassion.

00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:26.239
You understand?

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:28.480
I want that for everybody.

00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:36.000
I'm tired of little children and adolescents and youth being encouraged to transition.

00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:41.920
I'm tired of them being shown that this is the popular, cool new thing to do.

00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:43.519
That's not safe.

00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:47.360
You're ruining children's lives, you're ruining families.

00:43:47.679 --> 00:44:02.960
And when we go to the greater degree, I think about two young kids, one of them playing in a hockey game that lost his mother, his father, and potentially his grandparents, and one of His siblings, all because of this craziness.

00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:06.719
It needs to stop.

00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:11.599
These people need help, and I truly hope they get it.

00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:22.400
I want to also end with this disclosure, because I don't want anybody thinking that I'm some crazy right wing homophobe because I'm not.

00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:35.920
I've met transgender individuals, had great conversations with them, and I'm I'm not offended by them, I'm not uncomfortable by them, I'm not discouraging them, I'm not alienating them.

00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:42.159
Nothing goes with hate on anything about today's debate.

00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:50.800
There's a lot of transgenders that aren't the free willing, equal opportunity.

00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:58.480
You live your life, I'll live my life, I'll support your life, you support my life, love and you know, hug and peace.

00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:09.119
There's there's that group that just want to live their life, but there's a larger group that want to change your life.

00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:13.599
There's a larger group that want their life to impact your life.

00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:24.960
There's a massive group that want the attention, that they want to provoke the argument, they want to provoke the the hate and discontent.

00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:28.559
There's a large group of people in the LGBT community.

00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:37.039
I unfortunately feel that at this point it appears to be the largest group of people in this community want to breed the hate.

00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:44.400
They want to look for the attention because they want to provoke the argument, they want the opportunity to get in your face in public and cause a scene.

00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:48.239
They want the ability to go on social media and shame you.

00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:58.400
They want to call the cops on you, they want to do all these things to single you out, to label you, and to bring you hate and discontent because they're not happy with themselves.

00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:00.559
So they want to take it out on everybody else.

00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:11.840
I feel bad for the people in the LGBT community that just want to live their life happy with their significant other or with themselves, enjoying their life.

00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:18.320
I know many gay lesbian couples that are great, amazing people.

00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:24.960
And I hope nothing of this podcast or show comes out to make them feel that I don't love them because I do.

00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:33.199
There's a large population out there looking for the attention that's pulling towards the violence and the aggression.

00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:40.239
They're singling out people and they're ruining it for the great people that just want to live their lives.

00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:41.920
And I feel bad for that.

00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:49.840
And I want everybody to know that I try to love all people, and I'm not singling out any people in a negative way.

00:46:50.000 --> 00:47:08.079
I'm calling to light that I truly think that you should see things in a different way, in God's way, that you were created perfectly in his eyes, and I want you to be happy and comfortable and loved in your own skin.

00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:24.400
I don't think you need somebody changing your internal wiring, messing with your hormones, pumping you full of so much medication that someday, somehow, some way, you might not even recognize yourself, you might not be able to control yourself, and that's not your fault.

00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:30.559
These big pharma and mainstream media are taking advantage of people.

00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:34.400
They're preying on the vulnerable, and it's not okay.

00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:42.239
And it's up to us to stand up for all our American brothers and sisters and say, This isn't okay.

00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:46.639
Help them be there for them, encourage them.

00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:53.519
This violence needs to stop, the drugs need to stop, the surgeries need to stop.

00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:55.280
Put an end to this.

00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:57.280
Draw a line on the sand.

00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:00.480
WHO, this is on you.

00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:03.760
Media, shame on you.

00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:06.159
We deserve better.

00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:08.239
This community deserves better.

00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:19.519
And those innocent children in Nashville, in Minnesota, in Rhode Island, in Canada, and all other places, they deserve better.

00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:30.800
Their lives, their stories, and their lights were put out because of this ridiculous amount of drugs and surgeries and nonsense.

00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:39.039
I hope the people that are involved in this can hear this and struggle with this because you deserve this.

00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:43.679
Wow.

00:48:43.920 --> 00:49:03.039
An episode I didn't count on cutting, an episode that will probably result in some negative feedback, but an episode that I am courageous enough to stand on business and say this isn't okay.

00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:11.840
And I hope the people that hear it that are upset with me over what I said can understand I'm saying this in a way to protect you.

00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:14.079
Because I want better for you.

00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:16.480
You deserve to be happy in your own skin.

00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:27.760
Going about it this way isn't the right way, and neither is violence, and it should never come to the point of wanting to take out innocent victims.

00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:32.320
I hope today's episode of the podcast resonates with someone.

00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:35.440
I hope it leaves a positive impact on everyone.

00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:41.840
We are assembling a positive tribe out to deliver a positive vibe.

00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:57.679
And I hope that if enough of us are bold enough and courageous enough to stand up on the rooftops and on the mountaintops and say, not today, stop with the hate, stop with the overprescriptions, stop with the crazy surgeries, let's help heal.

00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:01.119
And together, this great nation will heal too.

00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:03.760
Thank you for supporting my American dream.

00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:08.159
Now go watch your friggin' hands, you filthy savage.

00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:12.559
