Preposterous identity claims are "no pathway to sanity"

Blazing Reader:

Why did Elizabeth Hale kill three students and three teachers at a her former Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, last week? Guns may have been the means, but they were no motivation — plenty of other ways for a psychopath to murder helpless children (e.g. a truck).

Despite Elizabeth identifying as a trans man named Aiden, the woke media is ignoring her preferred pronouns of he/him. Why? Because it reveals the more likely (if not blatantly obvious) reason for her actions: Anger towards Christians who won't accept or share her beliefs about gender fluidity .

As Jordan Peterson said in his Vision and Destiny lecture:

"...in order to be healthy in the long run you need to be integrated at multiple levels of social community. And when you introduce indeterminacy as to your status at the sex level, no one has any idea what to do with you. So how are they going to play with you?...

"'Well, what are you?'"

"'I don't know.'"

"'Well, then I'm going to go find someone else to talk to because if you're so confused that you can't even stabilize your identity moment to moment, I don't even know who I'm talking to. And why would I do that? It's too complicated. You're too much drama. You're too much trouble."

"And so many of the people who find themselves in that situation — where they are making these preposterous identity claims — are in fact people who are that much trouble. The reason they are so confused is because they don't have any friends. And part of the reason they don't have any friends is because they insist it's their way or the highway. And that's no way to make friends. And it's no pathway to sanity. Quite the contrary."

I hope this tragedy will produce an awakening among the general public of the harm transgender ideology is causing to those who suffer from gender dysphoria and other mental health disorders. An inability to accept objective reality, is, as Peterson says, "no pathway to sanity."

Stay sane & keeping reading,
