- When a person has killed six people in the United States and the perpetrator of the massacre is a trans person, far-right forces take advantage of this feature to criminalize transsexuals in general. Republican politicians and some right-wing television channels, including Fox, have used crime to blame those who defend trans and their rights.
In a college in Nashville, in Tennessee, one person has killed six people on Monday, three nine-year-old children and three adults. On the pretext that the murderer is a trans person, the right uses the entire collective to criminalize and point it out as danger.
Audrey Hale, 28, entered his old school. He shot six unknown people with two rifles, a gun and an abundance of ammunition. The reasons for attacking pupils and teachers have not yet been opened.
At the first press conference, the police chief identified Hale as trans, but acknowledged that he had no verified information. A police spokesman later determined that “Audrey Hale was a biological woman using male pronouns on a social media profile.” In a few minutes, the hashtag TransTerror spread across Twitter.
The Journal finds that Republican Senator JD Vance, former Republican Senator, has assigned some of his responsibility to the left and used crime to blame trans and defenders of their rights. "The extreme left has to think deeply. Accepting these ideas is not compassion, it is dangerous," the senator wrote.
Tucker Carlson, host of the Fox News program, has offered a broad session on what happened in his program: "We seem to be witnessing the rise of trans terrorism." He has also sought the opportunity for crime not to have to do with gun law in the United States: "The massacre is not due to permissive gun laws, but to confusing ideology. The country is polluting itself with people like Joe Bide."
Four times more likely to attack transactions
According to a recent study by UCLA University School of Law, the transas are four times more likely to suffer an attack in the United States. The hormonal treatments that trans people can demand in health centers have been legislated in several states of the United States, with the favorable vote of Republicans, to be criminals.
Entrepreneurs in the Tran community in Tennessee fear the consequences of this campaign. "We're terrified by LGTBI," explains an entrepreneur to the NBC chain. "He will bleed more and not be in a school," he adds.
