EDITOR:

A transgender teen in Denver was responsible for a school shooting there. The Abeerdeen Maryland mass shooting that killed three and wounded two was committed by a transgender. Last year’s nightclub shooting in Colorado Springs that left five people dead and 25 injured was committed by a non-binary person. Of course, the recent school shooting in Nashville was perpetrated by yet another transgender (or “gender-confused” as some media is reporting) individual. All of these individuals had severe mental health issues, obviously this is the reason behind their actions, not their specific gender. However, everyone should be concerned what effect the pressure that many are putting on our young people to choose their gender is having on their mental state.
