The conservative right is going to create a trans martyr.
We're moving closer and closer to Drag Floyd, and it could be a completely self-inflicted wound.

They’re going to make a trans martyr.
Yesterday, police in Colorado arrested another trans person in conjunction with a mass shooting. Thankfully, this time, they caught the person as they were planning the shooting, before it could be carried out.
19-year-old William Whitworth identifies as “Lilly” and is in the process of transitioning to female. They were found drunk in their bedroom, surrounded by trash and holes punched in the wall, with a personal manifesto as well as a copy of The Communist Manifesto.
They’ve already confessed to the police that they were planning to target three schools, including their own middle school.
Of course, there are many aspects to this story that are concerning. But here’s the one that scares me the most, and what I think might be the most overlooked:
I think this might be the final straw that pushes someone on the conservative right to commit an act of violence against a trans person or a drag queen to fulfill James Lindsay’s prophecy of Drag/Trans Floyd.
And that should terrify all of us.
Back in December, James Lindsay tweeted this:
Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass communications to stir up random lone wolves to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.
Here is the reality we’re living in:
States all over the country are holding hearings and passing laws regulating gender transition in minors, leading the tribes on both the political right and the political left to dig into the most extreme possible positions.
There have been violent clashes provoked by those on the political left on anyone they consider transphobic (which can mean something as simple as a person believing there are only two genders).
The conservative right is obsessed, to the point of being deranged, with prominent trans influencers Dylan Mulvaney and Jeffrey Marsh.
Conservative influencers are giving speeches at major events calling for the eradication of transgenderism, saying they’re no such thing as trans people, and generally inflaming the entire situation. For hours every day, conservatives are listening to their favorite influencers denouncing trans people.
And now there have been five people connected to mass shootings in a row that are trans.
To say that the conservative right is already teed up about anything related to trans people is an understatement.
It’s all they ever talk about anymore.
Try calling a trans woman “she” sometime and you’ll have an army of conservatives in your feed declaring that you cannot call her she, that you MUST use he or you are a libtard.
If you show any support for trans people at all (and in particular to Dylan Mulvaney or Jeffrey Marsh), they will declare you are an obvious groomer and a pedophile.
They believe they are a sacred mission to PROTECT THE CHILDREN and that everyone in the world is working to stop them so that the evil trans people can transition all their kids.
The situation is extremely emotionally charged. Conservatives quite literally believe the survival of their children is on the line.
What would you do to protect your children?
Now, I do think there are worthy questions to consider in regard to medicalized gender transition of minors, and I’m concerned about the push to take away parental rights in schools. I am firmly against these things and have expressed that opposition extensively.
However, I believe the conservative right - particularly the influencers at The Daily Wire and other prominent outlets - have gone far beyond where I feel comfortable in their inflammatory language and rhetoric about trans people.
I love Dylan Mulvaney, and I refuse to give her up. She makes me laugh and smile and I don’t think she’s doing anything wrong.
But even with theses conerns, I wasn’t worried about a conservative doing something stupid and creating a trans martyr…until the media started making a martyr of the Nashville shooter and used it as an opportunity to say the evil conservatives drove her to commit that heinous act.
I’m worried the conservative right is about to create a trans martyr.
Between the media coverage regarding the Nashville shooter, and this latest almost-shooter in Colorado being trans, I’m legitimately worried.
I’m worried that a lone conservative, who has become unhinged and deranged from consuming too much anti-trans media coverage from their own side, is going to do something stupid and commit an act of violence against a trans person or a drag queen, fulfilling James Lindsay’s prophecy and leading to all of us experiencing a summer of violence that will make the BLM riots in 2020 look like a walk in the park.
The left DESPERATELY wants this to happen, and they will exploit any situation to gain more power.
And conservative influencers on the right are doing everything they can to inflame their audience for likes, clicks and money.
It just takes one person with a gun who has been driven crazy by social media to do something stupid.
Do you really think it’s out of the realm of possibility?
If Drag Floyd happens, it will be a direct result of conservative influencers delivering trans outrage porn to their audience every day for months.
They’re going to make a trans martry. And we will all suffer for it.
What if it happens?
Make sure you follow James Linday’s good advice from back in December:

Fight back against the woke and support my work.
I believe the woke - on the left and the right - are an existential threat to our values as Americans. Some of them know it, most of them are just useful innocents. Regardless, fighting back against this woke cultural revolution is my full-time job. I’m dedicated to exposing the woke ideology in our country, helping people to understand what’s going on, and providing spaces for non-woke people to connect, support each other, and plan ways to fight back.

Thank you for this very important post Karlyn!
Here's my little contribution to try and avoid a drag-Floyd event - this interview of a very intelligent, well-spoken, liberal mother of a REAL trans-sexual. I think Penny Adrian nails this issue better than anyone I've heard... https://lisaselindavis.substack.com/p/this-ideology-is-hurting-my-trans#details
Very Best wishes
I've been following James and he really clarifies what's actually happening. Between him and you, my eyes have been opened. I too am concerned there will be a tumultuous summer..but hope clearer heads prevail.
