Dayton shooter Connor Betts’ slain sister was a transgender man: report
New York Post ^ | August 9, 2019 | Natalie O'Neil

Posted on 08/10/2019 4:10:13 AM PDT by Kaslin

The “sister” of the Dayton, Ohio, shooter who was killed during the attack identified as a transgender guy — although his family had no idea, according to a report and some of his own social media posts.

Connor Betts’ 22-year-old sibling was named by authorities as Megan Betts in the days after the mass shooting, with cops releasing a statement saying relatives had lost “a daughter.”

But he apparently went by the name Jordan Cofer, and identified as a male, although he was only “out” to a small circle of friends, according to Splinter News, which spoke to several of those pals anonymously.

“Jordan was my closest friend,” one pal told the outlet. “He identified with he/him pronouns to people he trusted and knew would support him. Jordan was probably one of the sweetest people you would ever meet, a true saint, but he was also very scared constantly. He tried to give the best to everyone.”

One of his friends also confirmed to The Post: “I did know that he was indeed a trans man.”

On Sunday, the 24-year-old killer drove to a popular strip of bars and restaurants with Jordan — then made him one of the nine victims killed in the slaughter, officials said. Investigators have not yet identified his motive or whether his sibling was an intended target.

Mental illness runs in families.

Can’t imagine being the parent of these two. Knowing your child was so messed up he not only killed a bunch of other people but his own sister as well.

Although you couldn’t find a family more enthusiastic about various values the Democrats glorify (the struggle, Antifa, LGBT), the mass shooting is clearly TRUMP’S FAULT.

Just substitute the word “fake” for “trans.”

Thank you. This is very confusing with no coffee yet. I mean, they slide back and forth with those pronouns and I don’t know which is biological and which is sick.

…”What planet are we on?”...

We are on a dying planet because the one we were born in has been disconnected from science and nature by a small group of people who gained the power of the big microphone and big tech which allowed a minority to turn normalcy into insanity. The diabolical consequences of these changes, which are directly in opposition to 300 years of US history have happened quickly since the 60s, are now reaching a crisis point. Many are scared about where all of this is going and should be. I am thinking that it is time to take a stand, come what may. If you are able bodied and have the time, as many retirees do, get involved in this election process, give money, and, if possible, volunteer to help in any way possible. We are told that any population you can name will have only about 10% of it’s people who will actually work in any organization. 90% think other people will take care of those jobs. Figures, doesn’t it? Are we willing to sit by while the rabble takes over as a result of murderous threats against our lawmakers and law enforcement people? Now, let me reflect on history. I believe I have heard of similar things happening somewhere in the world in the late 1930s? Time to take a stand while there is still time, folks.

Just substitute the words Volkswagen beetle for either trans man or trans woman.

Also consider spreading around the word PSYCHOSEXUAL because unless they’re born a hermaphrodite, it’s all in their head, hence psycho.

Physical anatomy?

Gender is a mental construct. You are what you wanna’ be.

But that begs the question...... what about the boy friend that was also dkilled? How did he identify to have a girl friend that was actually a man?

Its beyond my capacity

The more prosperous and powerful Rome became, the more tolerant it became of overt aberrancy, decadence and hedonism. It rotted from within.
