White House puts trans rights groups in counterterrorism crosshairs

As part of a Trump administration counterterrorism strategy targeting left-wing groups, federal officials will also target pro-trans rights organizations.

A new directive released by the White House cites the assassination of anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk to justify the approach. Prosecutors say Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of killing Kirk in September, recently began dating a trans woman before the shooting and had recently begun frequently criticizing Kirk's rhetoric.

"As real threats were ignored or underplayed, Americans have witnessed the politically motivated killings of Christians and conservatives committed by violent left-wing extremists, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical who espoused extreme transgender Ideologies," the White House directive states.

Despite repeated political claims portraying transgender people as threats, available research shows transgender Americans are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators of it. Data reviewed by the Gun Violence Archive and researchers cited by Reuters found that transgender people account for only a tiny fraction of mass shooters in the United States, generally well under 1 percent of recorded incidents, depending on how mass shootings are defined.

Every regime has to have a boogeyman. They will lie and take all kinds of actions to defend the general public from the boogeyman. And usually, the boogeyman doesn't even exist, but sheeple will follow their leader off the edge of a cliff before they will use their brains and think for themselves.
