[WND] The mass murder Monday morning by a gender-confused woman of three young children and three adults inside a Nashville Christian elementary school is shining a spotlight on transgender activist violence and extremism — and the "progressive" enablers who provide them cover.As millions of Americans and people across the world watched the Nashville police body-cam video footage of gun-toting Audrey Hale, a "transgender"-identified woman, stalking her victims at The Covenant School before being shot dead by quickly pursing police, various media and special-interest groups chastised conservatives for focusing on the trans issue instead of gun-control and Republican "anti-LGBT" legislation that supposedly gave rise to the violence.
The former is the preferred media narrative that invariably follows mass-shootings in the United States; the latter is a secondary narrative in the Nashville case because the perpetrator's trans "gender identity" became widely known quickly, thanks in large part to police transparency and independent, conservative citizen journalism.
The public discussion of trans activist violence did not sit well with LGBT sympathizers, including many in the media, who enable it by looking the other way. Few journalists were as blatant as Orion Rummler, a former Axios reporter and self-described "trans man (he/him)," who tweeted: "Several conservative and far-right media figures are using the Nashville shooter’s reported transgender identity to shift the conversation away from gun control. Key to note: The shooter's gender identity is not clear right now."
