BRILYN HOLLYHAND: Transgenderism Is The Number One Threat To Gen Z, Not Guns

How many times are we going to turn a blind eye to America’s youth being gunned down by a disease coddled by the Left? How many more children have to die before leaders stop lying about the real root of this crisis?

This week, horror struck again in America — children gunned down while kneeling in prayer at a church. Tragedy. Grief. And once again, a community shattered. But as the media scrambles to spin the narrative and politicians rush to score points, let’s stop pretending we don’t see the truth: transgenderism is a mental illness, and its affirmation killed kids while they were praying.

We don’t hand whiskey bottles to an alcoholic, so why are we handing puberty blockers and scalpels to confused teenagers?

Here’s the pattern: every time a tragedy like this happens, the Left immediately blames Republicans, guns, or conservatives in general. But the facts tell a different story. Time and time again, these shootings happen in Democrat-run cities, in Democrat-controlled states, carried out by individuals broken by Democrat gender ideology. It’s wild — but sadly predictable — that the Left tries to score cheap political points while refusing to admit their own responsibility in fueling the culture that breeds this chaos.

I’m part of Gen Z, and I’m saying this as directly as possible: transgender ideology is the single biggest threat to my generation. It destroys lives, destabilizes communities, and leaves chaos in its wake. This isn’t “acceptance.” It’s not “compassion.” It’s exploitation of young people who are already hurting — and when that mental illness spirals into violence, innocent kids pay the price.

We’re told by progressives that to be “kind,” we must affirm delusions, encourage hormone injections, cheer on irreversible surgeries, and hide all of it from parents. They say we need to accept “chosen identities” rather than protect truth. But what does that “kindness” produce? Broken lives. Rising suicide rates. Classrooms filled with confusion. And now, dead children at church.

The Left won’t admit it, but their ideology has blood on its hands.

I’ve seen it firsthand on campus. Professors and administrators push pronoun rituals and gender ideology harder than they push actual academics. Students are pressured to “transition” before they even understand who they are. And social media amplifies the lie, glamorizing transgenderism as if it’s liberation, when in reality it’s bondage.
