The Conversation That America Needs To Have on Transgenderism
Newsweek ^ | 9/4 | Josh Hammer

Posted on 09/05/2025 5:25:54 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Editor's note: This is a preview of The Josh Hammer Report. Politics, law, and culture collide as Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer charts a path forward for American conservatism and exposes the woke Left. A voice for the New Right, Hammer delivers blistering commentary straight to your inbox every Wednesday.

In the pews of the Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis, a place of worship was turned into a war zone. A 23-year-old assailant opened fire during a school Mass, murdering two innocent children and wounding at least 17 others before taking his own life. The horror and the carnage are unfathomable. But the broader cultural reaction has been, in its own way, equally revealing.

The media tiptoed—because the assassin identified as transgender (though not without apparent regrets).

The shooter, a biological male, had "transitioned." And with that single fact, the predictable silence set in. Liberal outlets soft-pedaled the clear motive, sanitized the narrative, and buried the lead. The shooter's vile anti-Christian, anti-Semitic screed? Brushed aside. The self-professed admiration for mass murderers? Underplayed. Why? Because it confronts head-on the single most untouchable dogma of our troubled age: that transgenderism must never, under any circumstances, be associated with pathology or mental illness.

We’re way past “conversation” and well into drawing rational conclusions from the overwhelming evidence. They are most certainly mentally ill & that fact should never have been withdrawn from the DSM. Only by arriving at blunt honesty can we ever move forward to effectively dealing with the problem.

It’s clear that mentally ill people — seriously mentally ill, delusional freaks, made angry and unstable by the powerful drugs they’re on, will do very bad things … especially to normal people who refuse to pander to them by accepting their sick delusions as real.

The conversation should be about how long it took people to realize boys aren’t girls and men aren’t women.

The conversation is done. Put it back in the DSM (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of psychiatrist disorders)

I expect this from a small local, but not Newsweek.

Here’s the conversation that’s needed. I understand that you think boys can be girls and whatnot. They can’t. It is mental illness and not loving to affirm mental illness. These people are in need of serious psychological counseling and/or mental institutional support. The delusion cannot continue. Thank you for your time, this conversation is over.

When a leftist wants a “conversation”, they mean they preach and we listen and agree. No thanks.

John Milton's "Paradise Lost": Suggests that demons can appear as either sex, but this may be a disguise.

Conclusion:

While many demons are traditionally viewed as male, the concept of gender in demons is complex and varies across different cultures and theological interpretations. Some sources argue that demons can be genderless or assume any gender as needed.

The Homosexual Agenda is where this all started

SATAN knows EXACTLY how to DESTROY NORMAL SOCIETY by using his GODLESS REPROBATE GOATS 🐐🐐🐐

Make NO mistake: These people ARE AT WAR WITH Almighty God in Heaven - THAT'S WHY they HATE the Bible Verses / God's Word

For their own sake, they need to repent and seek the Lord while He may be found (Isaiah 1:18)


🛐🛐🛐🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️




The Wicked Walk on Every Side when Vileness is Exalted...(Psalm 12:8 ASV BIBLE)

The Look on Their Faces Testifies Against Them (Isaiah 3:9 NIV BIBLE)


LURKERS PLEASE SHARE these

DO NO HARM, Christians, but reject
this Godless Reprobate Agenda. Walk Away.

Never forgive, never forget.

The DEI garbage jammed down the throats of the American people.

Make the left own this steaming pile of sh*t.
