Even the Left Now Admits We Have a Trans Violence Problem

Every male and female is created by God, in His image, in the right body

The tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, and the horrifying Annunciation School massacre in Minnesota, have ripped away the media’s protective veil.

For the first time, even Left-leaning voters admit what conservatives have long warned: America faces a growing epidemic of trans-inspired violence.

This preponderance of public opinion cuts across all demographic and partisan lines, with nearly 3/4s of normally progressive groups recognizing this systemic problem – from self-identified Kamala Harris voters to religious non-believers.

This large national survey was conducted by TIPP Insights for my League of American Workers, shows a staggering 73% of voters believe these attacks are part of a wider problem — not isolated incidents. Just 17% disagreed. That level of consensus in our divided nation is extraordinary.

And it cuts across every line:

· 70% of Kamala Harris voters see a systemic trans violence issue.

· 68% of Black voters, 75% of white voters — nearly the same.

· 71% of Catholics agree, but so do 70% of religious “nones.”

Across the usual political and cultural divides, Americans now stand united in recognizing this dire trans threat.

The reason? A tragic pattern too big to ignore. From the Covenant School massacre in Nashville, to the Annunciation attack, to Kirk’s assassination — these atrocities are not random. They are driven by a poisonous ideology that tells fragile young people they were “born in the wrong body.”

That lie is peddled by academia, medical elites, and Big Pharma — all profiting from mutilating children with drugs and surgeries. Instead of offering confused young men real help — talk therapy, prayer, purpose — they are handed powerful drugs plus destructive validation that ends in violence, despair, and too often, mass bloodshed.

This movement doesn’t operate in a vacuum. It overlaps with the broader Left’s violent arm: Antifa, BLM, and the networks of street-level radicals who burned American cities in 2020 and still terrorize churches, schools, and conservative speakers. Trans-inspired violence is simply their newest weapon, a fresh brigade deployed by the violent Left.

But here’s the other reason this story matters so profoundly: the media’s near-total blackout.

Despite the bloodshed, despite the polling supermajority, the corporate press simply refuses to cover trans-inspired violence honestly. This silence is not just lazy or biased reporting — it is an act of narrative control.

The public deserves truth, not filters. It is not the media’s job to decide what information we can or cannot handle. This sin of omission isn’t neutrality. Rather, it is complicity. By minimizing or ignoring these attacks, the press shields destructive lies about gender from scrutiny, while ignoring the innocent victims. And when Americans realize — as they now are — that 73% of their fellow citizens see the problem clearly, they also realize how profoundly the media has failed them.

Censorship of this kind poisons trust in institutions, widens division, and erodes the very foundation of self-government. A free people cannot govern themselves if they are denied the facts. The role of the press should be watchdog — holding power accountable, protecting citizens from danger — not gatekeepers filtering reality to suit its political allies.

The refusal of the media to tell the truth about this crisis is not some side issue — it is the very heart of it. Because if Americans are denied reality, they are denied the ability to act. That is why the lies of gender ideology, the cover-ups of elite institutions, and the silence of corporate journalism all converge into one poisonous stream.

And yet, the people are not blind. The polling shows it. The tragedies prove it. The consensus across partisan and demographic lines demonstrates it. Ordinary Americans know what their leaders and media refuse to admit: this ideology destroys lives, and it is now spilling into violence that threatens us all.

So the path forward is clear. We must reject the false compassion that validates confusion and celebrates mental illness. We must reject the cowardice of institutions that enable harm, and reject the censorship of a press that betrays its duty.

Instead, we will embrace infinite truths, including the truth that every male and female is created by God, in His image, in the right body, with immeasurable worth.

That truth heals. That truth protects. And only that truth will restore sanity and safety to our nation.
