BRILYN HOLLYHAND: TRANSGENDERISM IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT TO GEN Z, NOT GUNS

Brilyn Hollyhand: Transgenderism is the number one threat to Gen Z—not guns

"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," writes political commentator Brilyn Hollyhand.

(Daily Caller News Foundation) — 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?

Last 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. more at Brilyn Hollyhand: Transgenderism is the number one threat to Gen Z—not guns

THREE ITEMS FROM THE EVERYTHING CROTON MAILBOX

1)To the reader who was looking for info on Croton's "Explorer Club" in the "70's", here's an article we located, circa 1972; SEE  MORE HERE

There is probably more at The Croton Historical Society; GO TO www.crotonhistoricalsociety.org

2) A reader is looking for info on a Croton sculptor named Helene Sardeau-- it's HELEN not Helene--You can read more about her here

3) From time to time and as recently as last week, the blog gets questions about current transgender and BLM issues regarding "local scout troops".  While the "BLM Diversity and Inclusion badge" was allegedly on hold for assorted reasons back in 2021, we simply don't know where any of this stands at present.  Your best bet, however, is to contact the organizations/troop leaders in question directly. Good luck.

MINNESOTA TRANSGENDER HEALTHCARE POLICIES UNDER SCRUTINY AFER SHOOTER EXPRESSED "REGRET" WITH TRANSITIONING

Democrat-backed transgender healthcare policies in Minnesota are facing fresh criticism after it was revealed that the Minneapolis school shooter who attacked a Catholic school this week had identified as transgender and expressed “regret” with ever transitioning. Born Robert Westman before later becoming known as Robin, the 23-year-old gunman who murdered two children and injured 18 others at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis reportedly lamented being “brain-washed” by gender ideology.

ABOUT THAT ROSIE O'DONNELL TDS RANT....

Rosie O’Donnell is eating her words after she falsely claimed that the transgender Minneapolis Catholic school shooter was a MAGA supporter in a hate-fueled social media rant last week. The former talk show host and fierce President Trump critic, who resides in Ireland after fleeing the US over the commander-in-chief’s second term in office, dangerously suggested that shooter Robin Westman — who killed two children and injured 18 parishioners — was a “Republican, MAGA person, white supremacist” in a TikTok rant.  READ MORE AT Rosie O'Donnell apologizes for calling trans Minneapolis Catholic school shooter a MAGA supporter: 'I messed up'

A SERIOUS DISCUSSION OF TRANSGENDERISM, MENTAL ILLNESS AND VIOLENCE IS LONG OVERDUE

A serious discussion of transgenderism, mental illness and violence is long overdue....via REUTERS



Before Robin Westman murdered two children and wounded many more at Minneapolis’ Annunciation Catholic School, Robin was Robert, a troubled teen whose mother worked for the parish.

Robert’s mother approved the change, but after Robert became Robin in 2020, the teen’s psychological problems obviously didn’t go away: They led, five years later, to carnage.

A serious discussion of transgenderism, mental illness and violence is long overdue.

Earlier this year, the “Zizians,” a cult notable for the transgenderism of its leader and many members, made headlines for its alleged involvement in a series of homicides, including the January slaying of US Border Patrol agent David Christopher Maland.

Violent symbolism has lately taken a prominent place in transgender discourse......read more at Minnesota carnage shows how 'pro-trans' bullying silences sense
