OPINION:
I have written 27 books, 12 screenplays and hundreds of articles totaling millions of words, but since last Wednesday, after another transgender-identified man attacked a Catholic church in Minneapolis, killing two children and wounding another 17 people, I am speechless. I have searched the depths of my soul for a solitary word, sentence or verse to convey my outrage, and I have found nothing.
Too many transgender terrorist acts over the past few years have robbed my soul and intellect of outrage and indignation. I had thought, and actually hoped, it was all a bad nightmare when, in 2023, Audrey Hale attacked her former elementary school in Tennessee. I prayed transgender killers were the exception, not the rule, and that with Hale’s death, there would be an end to these transgender terrorist attacks, but I was wrong.
As I explain in my book “Transgender Killers: The Monsters That Walk Among Us,” we have an entire generation of lost children who weren’t raised by their human parents but by technology. While the internet and smartphones have occupied our youths’ attention, these amazing tools have not given our children any understanding of who they are as humans, or as boys and girls. Facebook, texting and Instagram do not affirm or emotionally support the millions of children and young teenagers who rely on them for their connection with the outside, real world.
So young people like Robin Westman, the Annunciation Catholic School shooter, grow up without any foundation of what being a man or woman is actually about. By the time Westman reached adulthood, he was clearly lost in all the rhetoric and hate of that which permeates the internet. The medical establishment and schools that support “gender affirmation” had their hand in these deaths, as did the countless politicians and liberals who cater to the illusion of gender-affirming care.
Westman is dead now, as are two innocent young children he killed. Many others will be scarred for life.
Yet the underlying conditions that caused this terrorist attack and the many others before it remain, and the festering rot in our culture that is causing them will continue to inspire attacks until we all commit to turning society away from this deadly ideology.
