Study by 5 Canadian academics reveals who's most prone to 'violent radicalization'
[WND] A year-old study of 3,100 college youth in Canada found that "transgender" and "gender-variant" youth are the highest risk-group for supporting "violent radicalization."
In the aftermath of Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old woman who identified as transgender and advertised her "preferred pronouns" as "He/Him," murdering three 9-year-old children and three adult staff members at a private, Christian elementary school in Nashville, the study, titled, "Meaning in Life, Future Orientation and Support for Violent Radicalization among Canadian College Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic," is drawing renewed attention.
"Transgender and gender-diverse youth emerge as the group at the highest risk of support for VR [Violent Radicalization]," the study in the journal Frontiers of Psychiatry by five Canadian academics states. "This is in line with results of a recent survey conducted during the [COVID] pandemic that highlighted high levels of support for VR as well as psychological distress among gender minorities."
The study's authors describe "gender minorities" as an "often-overlooked population who may be suffering more in the present context of social adversity."
