In what is becoming a regular occurrence, someone trans-identifying is accused of committing a mass murder, this time during a high school hockey game, in suburban Rhode Island.

Robert Dorgan, who preferred to be called Roberta, killed his ex-wife and one of his own children and shot three more people before turning the gun on himself.

In 2020, Dorgan had told police that he was being kicked out of his home, by his father-in-law, after Dorgan had undergone “gender-reassignment surgery.”

In the days leading up to the slaughter, Dorgan posted on X, “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.”

But no one was bashing him.

That response was aimed at actor Kevin Sorbo posting on X that trans Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride is actually a man, which is the truth.

Truth is important, and trans people have been lied to long enough.

That truth is considering “bashing” is much of the issue when we try to have a realistic discussion about transgenderism.

What? R U saying that folks to pretend that they are the opposite sex and often resort to taking weird drugs and cutting off parts of their bodies have a mental problem?
Say it ain’t so.

It proves the medical establishment has been corrupted by Democrat politics.

Most, if not all, states in the union have laws providing for involuntary civil commitment should someone pose a danger to himself and/or others.

We’ve got laws on the books.

They need to be utilized.

We? Mentally ill individuals, their families, friends, therapists and doctors who perform for these sick individuals. Also individuals in the media who promote it. For some it is BIG $.

“Transgender” people need compassion and mental health care, NOT affirmation. They’re trying to become something they can never be, and affirmation will only deepen their depression and desperation — which will lead to more violence. As the Bible says, speak the truth in love, but do speak the truth.

“It proves the medical establishment has been corrupted by Democrat politics.”

Don’t forget money. Indulging the mental illness of these people results in lifelong patients.

Anyone would go berserk after turning themselves into a freak show and then finding out that no one else wants to have anything to do with you and worse yet being faced with a reality that there is no way back to normal.

There has always been mentally ill people. What has changed is the political left has given this violence prone set a false, perverse solution to their problems and then convinced them that the world is cruel and wrong not to accept the perversity.

Nobody would have thought that if you castrate a teenager nothing bad will happen. And you tell them they are a gender that everyone who looks at them can’t see. And you give them drugs for the rest of their life so hair and muscles form to try to hide their real gender. Who would think that the person would not turn out happy and healthy. As they spend their lives fighting reality every single day. They can’t have sex, they find it hard to pee. Whats wrong with that.

I got into an “argument” with GROK on X.

It is claiming trans are less likely to commit violence than hetero men.

I pointed out the insanely (from a point of ratio) high incarceration rates of trans male to female.

Grok is woke and it’s hard to believe Elon hasn’t done something about it.

The truth was exchanged for lies. Big Entertainment has advanced it. The point is we’re teaching men there’s nothing left. You have to be a woman to obtain a job, do activities, anything, with DEI, set-asides, and other regulations.

The War Against Boys have come to its full extent.

Mentally ill folks are not only normalized by the left, they demand everyone else follow suit. Current events are the predictable end to this kind of tolerance.

There was a video that surfaced about a year ago of some major hospital administrator speaking at some conference.
She spoke about how much money they could make by gender surgeries, then the drugs they will need for the rest of their lives. That is was huge profit center for all the corporate hospitals that were into it.

They do not care about the patient. It is all about the Benjamin's.

We have always had transgenders. You will find that all of these crazed murdering loonies are on psych meds, transgender or not. The meds push them over the edge. The drugs are officially labeled as causing violent behavior. Get a clue.

“of trans male to female.”

There is no such thing as one cannot change their chromosomes, the weakling right-of-center has let the left make up new, untruthful concepts. Sad really, the uniparty idolatry has won for now. Good for you taking on Grok (AI) as we have to start somewhere.
