Is trans aggression an erupting volcano?

By Abdul Masih –

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin had a roommate lover who was transitioning gender.

In August, Robin Westman, who changed legally to a woman, was arrested for shooting and killing two children and injuring 18 others at a Catholic school in Minneapolis.

In July, trans activists were arrested along with Marine-turned-antifa leader Benjamin Song for the shooting of ICE officers at their facility in Prairieland, TX.

Earlier this year, transgender Adam Matthew Lansky allegedly fire-bombed a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon.

Meanwhile, a segment of Antifa now calls itself Trantifa, focusing on trans issues, and a Salt Lake City group advertised a seminar promoting queer violence.

Remember when domestic terrorists were racists? Dylann Roof and company seem to be fading away. In their place a new breed of violent protestors are rising up from the political Left, with a noticeable spike from a certain LGBTQ group.

President Donald Trump just announced he is designating Antifa, the parent organization, a terrorist group.

Number crunchers say that transgenders are victims of violent crimes, not statistically significantly perpetrators.

But Donald Trump Jr. perceives a different reality “Just like the radical transgender movement is per capita the most violent domestic terror threat in America, probably the entire world, because you have all these shooters or murders or attempted murderers in such a tiny population, yet they’re beyond reproach,” Trump Jr. said to Megan Kelly June 2025.

Benny Johnson, a podcaster who works with the conservative nonprofit group Turning Point USA, used similar language in a March 27 tweet that also spread on Facebook: “One thing is VERY clear: the modern trans movement is radicalizing activists into terrorists.”

Prior to the recent slate of slayings and sabotage, an official from the United Nations called on governments to protect free speech about gender issues as far back as 2023. Reem Alsalem, rapporteur on violence against women and girls, identified an “increasing trend” of violence against people who speak up.

Swimmer Riley Gaines was “ambushed and hit” by “screaming trans activists” after she publicly opposed the inclusion of a biological male, Lia Thomas, competing and beating girls in collegiate swimming, Alsalem said.

In August 2020, self-described Antifa supporter Michael Reinoehl allegedly shot dead Aaron “Jay” Danielson as he walked in Portland in support of Trump. When U.S. marshals were trying to arrest Reinoehl, he was shot and killed when he allegedly drew a gun.

Townhall senior writer Julio Rosas testified at a House hearing on left-wing violence in May because of his reporting on several riots involving Antifa.

“Trans activists gravitate towards these very far-left groups because they share their anarcho-communist type ideology,” Rosas said. “They view the US as systemically racist, that it’s subjugated queer people, and that states passing laws against child mutilations is part of a trans genocide. And they’re fighting back.”

On April 1, 2023, trans activists planned a so-called “Trans Day of Vengeance.” Twitter removed 5,000 tweets from the group for inciting violence.

“They’ve got themselves completely worked up, they honestly think there’s a genocide going on against them,” Women’s Liberation Front founder Leirre Keith said. “If you really think you’re under that kind of threat, then you can justify anything.”

Unfired cartridge casings left in the rifle that supposedly killed Kirk read:

“Hey Fascist! Catch! Up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol and three down arrow symbols.” (This is an ANTIFA related symbolism and messaging. The three-arrow symbol is tied to anti-fascism movements of WW2)

“Oh Bella Chow, Bella Chow, Bella Chow, Chow Chow.” (This is an ANTIFA related symbolism and messaging. It refers to an Italian song dedicated to the Italian resistance and anti-fascist forces in WW2).

“If you read this, you are gay, LMAO.”

Trans aggressors have a long history of threatening and harassing Charlie Kirk.

In 2021, a church in Puyallup, Washington canceled a Kirk visit over what the congregation’s senior pastor described in an online video as “threats of physical violence against our church leadership, our neighbors, their properties.” That same year, Kirk posted on his organization’s website that a venue in Eugene, Oregon had canceled an event following what he characterized as more violent threats.

In a post on X on Thursday, Turning Point USA stated that Kirk had received “thousands” of threats throughout his life. “But he always prioritized reaching as many young Americans as possible over his own personal safety,” the group said.

In 2019, an activist who had been recruiting students for a Turning Point USA chapter at UC Berkeley reported he was attacked, according to campus police.

Kirk condemned the assault at the time.

Former Republican Rep. Bob McEwen, who is on the advisory council for Turning Point USA, told CNN that Kirk and his family constantly had a security team guarding them.

McEwen said Kirk was told just a few days before his death that he would likely need security for the rest of his life, to which Kirk rolled his eyes and said, “Yeah, I’m afraid so,” McEwen said.

Some prior threats against Kirk or his group’s events prompted police to respond.

Last October, police in Tempe, Arizona arrested a man who allegedly made online threats toward Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump Jr, who had traveled to the city for a political rally. Municipal court records show charges filed against the man were later dropped.

In 2022, authorities arrested a Texas man after he threatened a “day of retribution” for attendees of a Turning Point event in Florida, which he had a ticket to attend. He was sentenced to five years in prison last year.
