Audrey Hale, the woman who claimed to be a man and recently killed six people, including three beautiful, innocent children, at a Nashville Christian school, was a very troubled young lady. First, she was born a woman, but said she was a man (transgender). All such people have some kind of crisis inside them, and it manifests itself in different ways, some obviously worse than others.
When you deny what you really are, you deform your mind, you warp your personality and instincts, you disguise and mutilate your actual nature, and thus it becomes virtually impossible to live a normal life, unless you surround yourself in a like-minded wolfpack. But you will always find yourself challenged when around normal people because you know you are denying your own normality. Men are men and women are women, and if they try to be what they are not, they are going to have some serious issues. It is inevitable. You can claim to be a dog if you want to, and try to live like one, but I suspect you will end up with a less-than-natural existence.
It is becoming increasingly evident that more and more such self-deniers are struggling with their own identity and having life crises. The Colorado Springs shooter identified as “non-binary.” The Denver shooter identified as trans, as did the Aberdeen shooter, and now, Audrey Hale.
Some have argued—with some accuracy—that the problem is not guns, as liberals try to say, but mental health. Yes, these people are mentally disturbed because they try to convince themselves they are not what they truly are, they deny their true natural being. That would create mental and spiritual turmoil inside the most stable-minded of human beings. But more than a mental health problem, it is a moral problem, the fact that we, as a society, now condone people utterly denying God’s will for themselves, turning lives upside-down and inside-out, in direct opposition to His natural law, and we are seeing increasingly tragic results from it. Taking away guns won’t stop it. Sending these people to psychologists is only a start. Re-introducing them to God is the ultimate answer. But it is the last answer the Left wants to hear or will allow.
Audrey Hale was believed to have been living as a man named Aiden, even though she did continue to use her female name on social media. Law enforcement identified her as transgender. The following text messages were sent soon before her tragic actions in Nashville. They were apparently written to a friend:
Audrey: “So basically that post I made on here about you, that was basically a suicide note. I’m planning to die today. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!! This is my last goodbye. I love you. See you in another life. (s.) Audrey (Aiden)”
Her friend: “Audrey! You have so much more life to live. I pray God keeps and covers you.”
Audrey: “I know but I don’t want to live. I’m so sorry. I’m not trying to upset you or get attention. I just need to die...My family doesn’t know what I’m about to do. One day this will make more sense. I’ve left more than enough evidence behind. But something bad is about to happen.”
This is incredibly sad and tragic, and all these people require help. Audrey obviously needed serious amendment to her life, but so much of it started by her warped vision of herself—she had a biologically female body, but instead of admitting that, coming to terms with the way God had created her, and living with that in the best tradition of spiritual and moral rectitude, she allowed her mind to twist in agony, thinking she was really a man when every evidence of her physical being denied it. Her mind refused to accept what her body was telling her every day. That cannot, and obviously is not, healthy for anyone. And, more and more, we are seeing horrible results from it. This young lady, by denying her own nature, was so mentally distorted and confused that she went off the deep end. And her fact-denial caused her to become so psychologically unstable and morally obtuse that she wanted to kill herself and take six innocent people with her. And, quite frankly, it is totally the fault of the transgender ideological movement. They encourage people to be what they are not, to reject their own nature, and to live totally opposite what they truly are. Leftist transgender ideology is completely, and forever, to blame for every one of these people who get screwed up and filled with hate against those who are trying to help them be what God made them to be and wants them to be. And they end up crying for help but finding no answers. Because the Left, by denying God and true nature, has no answers. Except to blame somebody else—or guns—for their own hideous, despicable, misery-causing philosophy.
The Left, as has been mentioned so many times before, is doing this deliberately. Transgenderism is just one way they are trying to destroy the family and gain ultimate control over as many human beings as possible. Liberals don’t care one whit about transgender people. They only care about themselves and finding as many avenues as possible to totalitarian power. That is ALL they care about.
But Joe Biden and his ilk continue to propagate the lie that guns are the problem. No, it’s not a gun problem, it’s a moral problem, and it starts with people just like Joe Biden.
