Activists smear their opponents as advocates of a "trans genocide" who aim to "erase the existence" of transgender people, but they insist that this rhetoric will not lead to violence. Willie explicitly said, "We're at war" and pledged to massacre innocent people. Transgender activists need to condemn this man and urge their movement to avoid such demonization and violence. They also need to acknowledge that disagreement with gender ideology is not itself a form of hatred. The transgender movement's decision to demonize anyone who raises concerns about its radical agenda inspires its own kind of hatred.

One grand jury indictment debunks that entire narrative, however, and news about it appears to have gone under the radar.
Jason Lee Willie, a male who says he "identifies" as a female and goes by the name "Alexia Willie," faces 14 counts of threatening to injure people across state lines. Willie, a resident of Nashville, Illinois, allegedly threatened to rape girls in girls' restrooms, carry out a mass shooting at schools, and bomb churches. He seems to have taken inspiration from the female who identified as male who slaughtered three adults and three children at Nashville, Tennessee's Covenant School in March.
A Benton, Illinois, grand jury indicted Willie on Nov. 28. In a legal document giving evidence in support of a motion to detain Willie, prosecutors quoted the man who lives with Willie. That document put Willie's threats into context.
"He said that Willie goes on the internet to find preachers or Republicans or black people and said that Willie talks to people about how he is going to 'have sex with their kids in the bathroom, and stuff like that,'" prosecutors wrote.
"There's a lot of transgenders out here that are tired of being picked on, and we're going to go into the schools and we're going to kill their f—ing children out here, and that's the end of it," Willie allegedly said on a video call in August, according to the prosecution's charging document. "We're at war."

...Willie rightly faces criminal charges for his horrific threats, and these threats do not implicate the transgender movement. Men and women who struggle with gender dysphoria (the persistent and painful identification with a gender contrary to one's biological sex) do not ipso facto pose a threat to others. These people need understanding and help—help to resolve their underlying psychological issues and become comfortable with their sexed bodies.
However, Willie does give the lie to the transgender movement's rhetoric.
Activists claim that pro-transgender rules that define private spaces by "gender identity" rather than sex will not allow men to enter women's restrooms, changing rooms, prisons, or intimate spaces to abuse them. Yet Willie threatened to do just that, and far worse.
Activists claim that gender ideology does not conflict with the Christian doctrine that God created humans male and female and that gender ideology does not threaten Christian churches. Yet Willie identified Christianity as his enemy and pledged to bomb churches.
Activists smear their opponents as advocates of a "trans genocide" who aim to "erase the existence" of transgender people, but they insist that this rhetoric will not lead to violence. Willie explicitly said, "We're at war" and pledged to massacre innocent people.
Transgender activists need to condemn this man and urge their movement to avoid such demonization and violence. They also need to acknowledge that disagreement with gender ideology is not itself a form of hatred. The transgender movement's decision to demonize anyone who raises concerns about its radical agenda inspires its own kind of hatred.
It is high time the legacy media and those on the Left stop abetting this extremism by pretending that there is no legitimate criticism of this radical movement. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
