AbleChild can’t help but wonder why transgender individuals commit a disproportionate share of mass shooting attacks, and whether these attacks have anything to do with being prescribed mind-altering psychiatric drugs along with drugs associated with the transition process.
According to a recent study conducted by the Crime Prevention and Research Center (CPRC) between 2018 and 2024 attacks by transgender shooters was “at least 12 times their share of the population” in 2024. Regardless of how the data is interpreted, the report makes it clear that transgender individuals commit these attacks at disproportionately high rates.
CPRC reports that “using only the FBI data over the entire period (2018-2024), transgender individuals commit active shooting attacks at 3.4 times their share of the population…” And the CPRC concludes that regardless of how the data is measured, “active shooting attacks committed by transgender individuals is becoming a serious problem.” Why? What is happening within the statistically small transgender community that is causing them to account for such a large portion of the deadly attacks?
The Uniformed Services University (USU) conducted a study in 2021 that asked whether transgender and gender-divers (TGD) adolescents experience increased mental health risk compared to non-transgender peers. The study concluded that TGD adolescents “were more likely to have a mental health diagnosis, use more mental healthcare services, and be prescribed more psychotropic medications compared to siblings.” The study also found that “among the 963 TGD youth using gender-affirming pharmaceuticals, mental healthcare did not significantly change, and psychotropic medications increased following gender-affirming pharmaceutical initiation.”
Given the lack of peer-reviewed articles about the violence that is being reported within the transgender community, it seems important to ask detailed questions that may help the public understand the increased violence. For example, one might want to know how many children were diagnosed with an alleged mental disorder and prescribed psychiatric drug “treatments” prior to ever questioning their birth gender.
Other questions might include, how many children questioning their birth gender are on psychiatric drug “treatments” when they make transition inquiries. And, one might also want to know, once the transition begins, how many of these children remain on the psychiatric drug “treatments,” while at the same time adding transition therapy drugs to their current drug cocktail.
These are important questions and would not only benefit those going through a gender crisis and who may be experiencing violent thoughts, but it would benefit the public to understand why there is an increase in transgender mass shootings.
There are too many transgender murders to list them all, but the public will remember Audrey Hale who killed six at The Covenant School in Nashville, TN, Robin Westman killed two and injured 17 at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN, Robert Dorgan killed three at a skating rink in Pawtucket, RI and Jesse Van Rootselaar who killed eight in Tumbler Ridge BC. It is also a fact that all the above had long histories of mental health care and were being “treated” with psychotropic drugs.
Here’s the question. It must be asked. Is it possible that the mind-altering drugs that are being prescribed can cause people to believe they are a different gender? Furthermore, is it possible that these people, already on a cocktail of mind-altering drugs for a host of alleged mental disorders, are experiencing drug induced violent behavior? Afterall, the known possible side effects of psychiatric drugs alone could make one become violent. Then, add the transition therapies and suddenly there’s a problem.
We already know that many of these transgender shooters have been diagnosed with depression. The known possible side effects of antidepressants include confusion, feeling unsteady, racing thoughts, inability to sit still, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, aggravated depression, aggression, depersonalization, mania, suicidal ideation and suicide attempt to name a few.
Now let’s consider the possible side effects of Puberty Blockers. Anxiety, mental depression, insomnia, mood changes, delusions, agitation, altered mental status, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt and mood swings are all possible side effects.
Testosterone Blockers carry a significant increased risk of depression, mood swings, anger, or a “short fuse” and suicidal ideation. While estrogen inhibitors have side effects that may include depression, anxiety and low mood.
The problem, of course, is that no one can say for sure how these cocktails of mind-altering drugs are going affect the patient. The fact is the pharmaceutical companies do not conduct clinical trials of psychiatric drugs in combination with transition therapies. Nearly all the major bodily systems are affected when both types of drugs are used.
For example, psychotropic drugs target the central nervous system and have systemic effects as they are metabolized and circulated. And, of course, the transition therapies use sex hormones that interact with receptors found throughout the entire body influencing metabolic health.
Prescribed together, it’s reasonable to conclude that the two “therapies” should be called experimentation. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has no idea how any antidepressant (or other psychiatric drugs) work in the brain as “treatment.” And, because there are no clinical trials of the two therapies, it would be fair to say that the FDA has no idea how mixing mind-altering drugs with transition therapies may affect those taking the experimental cocktail. And, of course, anyone who has interviewed those on prescription psychotropic drugs will acknowledge that the majority admit “feeling nothing.” The psychiatric drugs provide a blunting effect.
Maybe, the twofer therapy experiment is causing unintended deadly consequences. Maybe the violence has nothing to do with transitioning but, rather, is the side effect of drug induced experimentation. Maybe the entire transition industry is nothing but a byproduct of psychiatric drugging. Maybe it’s time to consider the consequences of this experimentation.
