The Nashville Wakeup Call

 

In the wake of the Nashville shootings, I think there is an awakening, at least on the right, to the idea that “transgender” people are potentially violent.

It stands to reason. Transgenderism is narcissism. It is, firstly, a demand for attention; this is why they must act out so flamboyantly, why they need to preen, to promenade, to twerk in front of children. This will never be satiated; it will escalate until stopped. Transgenderism is, secondly, an attempt to impose the will on physical reality itself. 

Such narcissism, if frustrated, will not stop short of violence; why would it, if reality itself is no barrier to the will? They will feel they have the inherent right to use violence. Violence, moreover, gets attention; violence exhibits their dominance. And we can guarantee that they will feel frustrated, as reality and the rest of the world do not bend readily enough to their wishes.

Given a rising tide of people identifying as “transgender,” things look likely to get more violent. On the other hand, when it comes to blows, it is hard to imagine the impetuous and undisciplined “transgenders” winning. Like spoiled children, their urges are ultimately self-destructive.
