Trans Violence, The Disturbing Trend Given A Free Pass By The Media

Transgender activists around the country want to make something clear: “preferred pronouns” aren’t just preferred — they’re mandatory.

In recent months, transgender individuals, LGBTQ+ activists, and progressive ideologues have grown increasingly bold in their willingness to commit acts of violence against individuals who disagree with their radical worldview. Many of these incidents are downplayed by the media, or ignored altogether. On some occasions, the perpetrator of violence is made into a martyr because they suffered under “transphobic” legislation.

This week, the DOJ recommended no jail time for a “transgender woman” who admitted to “defacing a Catholic church with profane graffiti, destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary, assaulting a church worker, and resisting arrest” according to Fox News. Maeve Nota, a 31-year-old biological man identifying as a woman, vandalized St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue, Washington last June following the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade.

“Nota smashed two glass doors with rocks and spray-painted the church’s outside walls with messages that read, ‘F— Catholics,’ ‘rot in your fake hell,’ ‘kid groomers,’ and ‘woman haters,’ among several other messages.”

This is in stark contrast to how the DOJ attempted to prosecute pro-life activist Mark Houck, who shoved a Planned Parenthood volunteer who was harassing Houck and his, at the time, 12-year-old son. A year after a district court in Philadelphia ruled in Houck’s favor when the volunteer tried to sue, the DOJ picked up the case and threw the book at Houck, threatening 11 years in prison.

Last week, Riley Gaines was speaking to a TPUSA chapter at San Francisco State University when activists descended on her, looking for the opportunity to spread their message of “love and kindness” through force, harassment, and intimidation. The college responded to the situation by calling Gaines’ speech “deeply traumatic.” SFSU did not apologize for the student’s actions, or the lack of security present to prevent escalation.

This assault on Gaines came only a day after police in Colorado foiled a transgender person’s plot to attack schools and Christian churches.

Progressive rhetoric has also become dramatically more explicit without consequence, while also claiming to be the victims of “genocide.” Even the protest chants, “no justice, no peace — no action, no peace,” are synonymous with extortion. It is a threat of violent action or intimidation until everyone complies.

It’s clear that threats of violence are becoming a preferred tactic of the left to force naysayers to approve of their disordered lifestyles.

“I want to congratulate Turning Point because you’re creating a change that will affect us for decades.”
