Last week, a man dressed like a woman committed a school shooting in Canada. Now this week, a man dressed like a woman shot his ex wife and kids at a hockey game in Rhode Island. Is it finally appropriate to say that transgenderism is a mental illness that breeds violence? And the longer that we avoid discussing the real underlying problems, the worse this crisis will get. I am Riley Gaines. Welcome back to the Riley Gaines Show. As I said today, I want to really discuss how the trans violence rate is off the charts and why this really shouldn't be overly surprising. But before we get into that, I want to tell you about today's sponsors. Why Refi? My question to all of you listening to this maybe watching@YouTube.com is are you struggling with private student loan debt? Is even your minimum payment higher than what you can afford? Maybe you you are in default. Well, if you are, you are not alone. But the good news is why Refi can help. What they do is they refinance private student loans that other companies won't even touch. They will give you a custom loan payment plan based on your ability to pay. They work with each borrower individually to craft a payment plan that works for you for the for the borrower. They can help you reduce your monthly payment and your total costs. You will get a low fixed interest rate that you will not find anywhere else. And the best part is what you have why Refi does not care what your credit score is. So again, if private student loan debt is wrecking your life or destroying your dreams or holding you back, you do not have to live with that stress or that worry anymore. Go to yrefi.com that is y r e f y.com and be sure to tell them that Riley sent you. You heard about him on the Riley Gaines Show. As I said in the intro and like you've probably seen in the news, or actually maybe you haven't seen it at all in the news because mainstream media seemingly only cares, especially left wing mainstream media. They seemingly only care when it's a straight white man who commits mass homicide. But twice in the span of less than a week we have seen two cases of what seems to be attempted family annihilation. We have a lot to unpack today. But I want to start by speaking very, very plainly. So there's no room for interpretation. There's no beating around the bush, there's no cryptic message that I'm leaving you with. I want to speak really plainly when I say that the trans violent rate is off the charts, at least speaking from a per capita standpoint. I mean, just off the top of my head, we have these two shootings. We have the Minneapolis shooting, we have Denver, we have the Nashville shooting, which happened in basically my backyard. In this scenario it was a woman who had been injecting herself with testosterone who then went to go on and shoot nine year olds. I believe there were three nine year olds that died, plus three adults. It took them forever. Actually. I don't even think it came from the proper authorities. The federal or state authorities actually think the manifesto, or at least parts of it were leaked. And in this manifesto we saw that this was a woman who hated Christians and who hated white people, therefore she targeted white Christians. But I want to talk with you guys on why, at least from my perspective as someone who has been involved in the gender ideology space, I mean the past almost four years now, initially starting from the sports side of things, but of course seeing how the medicalization side, what's happening in the educational realm, even what's going on in the corporate world, how that is all connected. I want to share with you on why to me this is the least surprising thing ever. Why it makes sense that the trans violence rate is off the chart. The first reason being, and I think this to be the most obvious, if you are willing to deny basic reality like the simplest of truths, a truth that we have known to be true and relevant and easily digested since the very beginning of time, that truth being men and women are different in a way that, that is beautiful, in a way that allows for procreation, a way that allows for humanity to exist. If you are willing to deny that, then there are really no bounds at that point. I guess maybe a better way to explain this. If you can in some way in your head justify saying that men can get pregnant or, or that women need prostate exams or that tampons belong in boys bathrooms, then I believe that you can find a way in your brain to justify anything, any measure, any action, because at that point the door has just been totally opened. If you deny that men and women are physically different, then it's similar to denying that the sky is blue, right? The whole George Orwell two plus two equals five thing, Right, Right. That is gender ideology. And if you have read 1984, maybe, like me, you were tasked to read it in high school. It was a project. You had to do a class assignment. If you read that book, then, you know, then that leads to a pretty scary, terrifying, consequential, oftentimes violent outcome. The whole two plus two equals five thing. So that's the first reason I'm not really surprised, because again, if you can justify cutting off healthy body parts of children, then there's probably not many other other atrocities that you're not willing to justify, including mass homicide. Which leads me to my second point of why I'm not surprised that trans violence is off the charts. Not only does a portion of this demographic, this demographic being those who identify as something other than what they actually are, not only do they feel justified in committing violence, they believe to be morally superior to you in committing these acts of violence. Because we have been fed the lie that words are violence, right? By calling a man a man and a woman a woman, we have been told that we are committing an act of violence, a hate crime, if you will. We have seen specifically from the other side of the aisle, these deranged claims of committing genocide by opposing men in women's sports, or by opposing, again, children cutting off healthy, functioning body parts, or by simply speaking the truth. They say that is genocide and that right there was an open invitation to violence. I wish you guys could see the messages that I get on a daily basis. How many trans activists are sending me dms, wishing death upon me, death upon my husband and my family. Really horrific, profane, heinous, graphic things that I can't even. I couldn't even come up with some of the stuff in my head, never mind type it out and send it to someone that I don't like. Really awful things. But what I think has been proven over these past few years is that the trans rights activists or those who identify as trans, they believe that their feelings and their right to affirmation supersedes your right to even be alive. And actually, one of the people who has been saying this for a long time is Matt Walsh. He has been raising the concerns about trans violence and the potential for increase which we have seen continuing down the affirmation path that we have been and even by many in the conservative arena, influencers and politicians, etc. Matt Walsh was told, well, no, like this isn't really the case. Conservatives, again, saying, yes, we don't want men and women's sports. And yes, we oppose this for minors, but there's no problem for adults doing this, or there's no problem in using she pronouns when talking about a man. We want to be kind and we want to be respectful. That's how we be those things. That's what even conservatives or people who call themselves conservatives have told Matt Walsh, all while conflating, by the way, what it means to be kind and respectful. Because I would be willing to bet that the families of the children who died in the Covenant School shooting here in Nashville, I would be willing to bet that they don't think what happened to their child is kind nor respectful. But I say that to say that Matt Walsh has been entirely vindicated, unfortunately. But those who identify as trans believe that they're vindicated as well in killing innocent people. And you know, one more absolutely insane thing to me, at least, in speaking to how the other side feels not just again justified, but morally superior in committing these acts of literal violence that we have seen over the past few years. The left specifically, generally promotes the idea of defending trans rights with images of AK47s and knives on T shirts. I've got a couple of these images pictured on screen here if you're watching@YouTube.com and I will say, personally, I've seen this often, especially in showing up to state capitals across the nation to testify on behalf of these bills that would prevent gender ideology, impeding in women's sports, impeding in. In schools, or where it affects children. I think it's especially concerning when you see these images online, people wearing T shirts that say protect trans kids. But these people are healthcare workers or their school teachers or they're government employees. If you're looking at the screen right now, this is the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, a sanctuary state, by the way, wearing a shirt that says Protect trans kids with a knife. This is a publicly elected official. What precisely does she think she's advocating for here? This is explicitly what they're calling for. And I'm not going to be naive enough anymore to say that this is what they're indirectly calling for. No, enough of that at this point. I don't think it's indirect. I really don't. I think what we're seeing is directly what people like Peggy Flanagan, the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, are calling for. And maybe you could have said five years ago, you know, she didn't know, or this wasn't really what she wanted. These mass acts of homicide and killing. Enough. I don't think you can say that anymore. It is just wild to me that they say me calling a man a man, that is a call to violence. But her wearing a knife on her shirt saying protect trans kids isn't a call to violence. And another reason that I am not surprised at the rate of trans violence and is because we are taking the most delusional, broken and lied to, manipulated, oftentimes traumatized. If you watch the episode with Prisha Mosley, D transitioner last week, then you will see this, you will hear her, the trauma that she went through, the most manipulatable people in the entire country, in the world for that matter, and we are pumping them full of cross sex hormones and we are telling them that that will cure all of their problems. And then we as a society, as healthcare professionals, that we're taking a step back and watching what happens to these medical experiments I think is an appropriate thing to call them. Again, mentally unstable people are injecting themselves with copious amounts, certainly unregulated amounts of synthetic and unnatural chemicals and substances and hormones. Or while few to zero long term studies have been done on the effects of this, not even speaking to necessarily people who identify as trans, but people who are into even weightlifting or bodybuilding have coined the term roid rage, which links aggression to high dose anabolic steroid use such as testosterone. And in doing my research for this episode, not looking at necessarily people who identify as trans taking testosterone, but just the broad effects of taking testosterone in general. I saw where testosterone influences the amygdala, which affects threat and emotional processing, where testosterone also influences reward pathways, meaning dopamine and your impulse control circuits in your brain, which tends to increase sensitivity to what is perceived to be a threat. It tends to increase confidence and risk taking and amplify pre existing traits you might already have, which we know this to be true. Again, I hope you listened to the episode with Precia. She talked about this commonality among those who begin to identify as trans underlying conditions preach her herself spoke to this and what she experienced with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, other sort of personality disorders, ocd, sexual trauma, even. So we're talking about people who have been abused or, or who have these underlying mood disorders. That is who we are giving these destabilizing hormones to. And what we know about these hormones that we're giving these individuals is often they magnify what is already there. So it's not surprising that we see impulsive acts of violence, whether on other people, innocent people, or tragically themselves. We've grown to know this whole Suicide narrative. We're told it all the time. Especially you know, a few years ago where it was very prevalent, right? You have doctors or surgeons or therapists who are talking to parents and saying, look, would you rather have a dead son or an alive daughter? That is emotional blackmail is what that is. I can't even imagine as a parent myself now being told that one day. It's a horrible thing. We're told that if you don't give these individuals hormones and affirm their perceived gender, then they will just kill themselves. Which I believe to be a total. Actually, it's, it's not even what I, I believe. I think the one study that has been done with any sort of longevity proves that actually you're 19 times more likely to commit suicide if you are affirmed the suicide narrative. It is used by those people in powerful positions, whether that is a doctor, whether that's the entirety basically of the Democratic party. It is used by those people to coerce and to control others. And it's a very similar tactic, by the way, to that of which we saw being used during COVID I will never forget the memo that President Biden put out where he talked about it's going to be a dark and lonely and cold winter. If you don't get the vaccine, you will see death like you've never seen before. But if you're vaccinated, you'll be happy and healthy. I mean, it's the same tactics they use there that they're using as it pertains to the gender ideology movement. And in talking about these, these drugs that are being administered and prescribed. I think one more reason that we have been hesitant to question, especially the medical industry, that they have been hesitant to question these drugs is because I believe it will lead to questions about medications more broadly than, than just trans hormones such as SSRIs and SNRIs, which are both antidepressant medications that affect brain chemicals involved in mood regulation. Think things like Prozac or Zoloft or Lexapro. We live in this society that is very quick to diagnose and to prescribe these what I would call slow release poisons. That's not me saying that antidepressants aren't useful or beneficial for some people because certainly they are. But I don't think it's controversial or any, it's not an opinion even maybe you can say it's controversial, but it is a fact that the rate of which they're prescribed is alarming, I think, especially among my generation, but doesn't seem like they're ready for that conversation. Yet. I look at these tragic events that happened over the past few weeks. Again, the shooting in Canada, which I guess I didn't really give background on. And if you haven't been watching the news, maybe you don't know what I'm talking about. The shooting in Canada, what we know to be true at this point is that at least nine people were killed in connection to a mass shooting last Tuesday at a school in British Columbia. I'm reading directly off of a Fox News article here. It says the police identified the suspect, reportedly was also found dead. This was an 18 year old transgender woman, so man who allegedly killed two of his family members at home before opening fire at the school and the Rhode island shooting. Here again reading off of Fox News digital article. It says a suspect accused of shooting and killing two people at a Rhode island ice rink on Monday before killing himself was identified as transgender, AKA a man, and had a history of past family conflict over his gender identity. A local news outlet reported, citing court documents. Again, this is a man who shot and killed his wife, shot his three children and then pulled the gun on himself. How messed up in the head do you have to be to shoot your three children? Any parent listening to this, it's unimaginable for anyone. But as a new parent myself, I can't even stomach the thought of my daughter being hurt. I can't even stand to hear her cry. I totally thought I was gonna be like a cry it out mom. Like, you know, put her in her crib. I'm tough. She'll cry. She'll be fine. She'll get over it eventually. Absolutely not. I hate when my daughter cries. I can't imagine someone else taking her life, someone else harming her in any way. Never mind myself doing that to my daughter. Horrific events. And I was looking at this man's profile online. His X profile has become public knowledge at this point. I went to his profile just to go through some of the things. The shooter in the Rhode island scenario, the father who shot his family and it was incredibly confusing because I don't know if he appears to be right wing, left wing, something in the middle. There was really no clear basis. Not that it matters. Okay. It doesn't matter what his political affiliation was because at the end of the day, he's crazy. I don't think he necessarily fully aligns with any party. He's insane. But in going to his profile, I saw that he had blocked me previously. And in looking at some of the comments that he had left under my posts in previous years. Some of them were very supportive, some of them were far from supportive. I say that to say that clearly this was a person who was messed up in the head, to say the least. And I look at these tragic events that happened over the past few weeks that have been happening over the past few years, and I see the problem with the affirmation model, the thing that Matt Walsh has so correctly and again, unfortunately been correct in speaking to. I mean, like, think about it, right? Like, what are we affirming? By being what they call accepting, we really only deepen the eventual damage that is lurking under the surface. I've got a picture here on screen of a tweet from Matt Walsh three years ago. Three years ago. He says, I've been telling you for a long time that left wing trans extremists are violent, dangerous people who have been made to feel absolutely entitled to say and do whatever they want. The deranged claims of genocide are an open invitation to violence. It will only get worse from here. And he was absolutely right. And that was three years ago. And here we are in the present. Do we have to expect that it will only get worse from even where we are now? Right? Like, how many more times does this have to happen? How many more innocent people have to be collateral damage before Democrats say, okay, you know what, maybe this whole trans thing could actually be a real and violent problem? And I think of my friend Charlie Kirk. I would be remiss if in talking about this act of trans violence, if we didn't mention him again. One of the most effective intellectual articulate minds of our time across the board in talking about political topics and talking about theological discussions. Just so bright and so effective with such influence over people just like me. I would be remiss if I didn't mention him because he too was prematurely taken by an act of trans violence. And so what is the answer? I don't know what the answer is, but I can tell you what it's not. The answer is not gun control. We hear that all the time. Democrats waste no time in when mass atrocities are committed before touting from their ivory towers about gun control. That's not the answer. Because guess what? Places like Rhode island and certainly Canada, they already have very strict gun laws in place. I hate when people say gun control. That has proven time and time again that that doesn't work. And why doesn't it work? Because criminals don't tend to trouble themselves with, with laws by preventing gun ownership and restricting gun access. You're just keeping the guns out of the hands of good people. And to that point, it's not the guns that's killing innocent people, it's the mentally ill, the mentally unstable people behind the gun pulling the trigger. That is who is committing these atrocities, not the guns. Just like the fork doesn't make you fat, it's the person holding the fork that it is a consequence of their own actions. One more point I want to make in having this discussion outside of the trans violent rate itself is how the media responds to it. Again, specifically left wing media. I want you to listen to this clip of a police officer following the shooting in Canada. That includes the deceased gun person. Okay. And then separately, do you know the gun person's relationship to gun person? A trans shooter. A man opened fires in Canada killing 10 people including himself and 25 plus wounded. And police are so terrified of misgendering him that they're calling the suspect a gun person instead of a gunman. Honestly, if you hear the word gunman and you're offended, may I suggest going to touch grass? You are the problem. If you hear the word gunman Dr. And you are offended, this is peak insanity. I'll be honest. Like I don't have a lot of nuance in pronouns in general. So you know, like respecting pronouns but respecting the pronouns of a mass shooter. Don't they realize in doing this that they are spitting in the face of the victims? That's what they're doing. Why does a murderer doesn't matter if he's trans or not? By the way, why does a murderer get state sanctioned, government sanctioned PR team while families are burying their loved ones? Really? Like is that what the priorities are here? You can call me mean, you can call me this lost soul with a lack of empathy. I really don't care. I stand with the victims and I stand with their families, not the ideology that killed them. And in talking about the media, I have to believe that if it had been a trans victim, like, like roles reversed here. If the victim had been trans, the media would have talked about this non stop. But they ignore it when the trans person is the perpetrator. And that's when I think your society is really over. By the way, like when the media, when society at large actually when the public square is more sensitive to the murderer than the victims, that's when you know that society is over. But we've seen this across the board. Really doesn't matter if it's a trans killer or if it's a career criminal with like a super long rap sheet's been arrested 72 times that the judge continually lets out if the killer is higher on the oppression chart with white male being the least oppressed and like a black trans person or an illegal immigrant being the most suppressed. That this is is really no surprise. And so going back to the question of what is the answer? Open the asylums. I don't know. This is something that President Trump actually announced in, you know, the last few weeks that this is something that he will be doing again. Opening the asylums. This is long overdue that maybe that's what MAGA can stand for. Make asylums great again. Thank you guys for listening to this episode of the Riley Gaines Show.

In this episode, Riley Gaines tackles the sensitive and increasingly discussed subject of violence connected to individuals who identify as transgender. Drawing from recent high-profile news stories—school and family shootings involving trans-identified individuals—Gaines argues that there is a concerning trend of violence within the trans community and examines why, in her view, this is not surprising. She provides her perspective as an advocate involved in the gender ideology debate, referencing cultural, political, and medical factors. She also scrutinizes media coverage and discusses societal responses, while drawing on insights from conservative commentators like Matt Walsh and Charlie Kirk.
"Mainstream media seemingly only cares, especially left wing mainstream media... when it's a straight white man who commits mass homicide." (Riley Gaines)
"If you deny that men and women are physically different … it's similar to denying the sky is blue. That is gender ideology." (Riley Gaines)
"They believe that their feelings and their right to affirmation supersedes your right to even be alive." (Riley Gaines)
"This is a publicly elected official. What precisely does she think she's advocating for here? ... I really don't think it's indirect." (Riley Gaines)
"By being what they call accepting, we really only deepen the eventual damage that is lurking under the surface." (Riley Gaines)
"Just like the fork doesn't make you fat, it's the person holding the fork." (Riley Gaines)
"Honestly, if you hear the word gunman and you're offended, may I suggest going to touch grass? You are the problem."
"When the public square is more sensitive to the murderer than the victims, that's when you know that society is over." (Riley Gaines)
Riley Gaines presents a stark, controversial perspective on the intersection of transgender identity and violent crime, attributing a rise in trans violence to the denial of biological reality, flaws in "affirmation" therapy, and misguided cultural narratives. The episode heavily criticizes mainstream media, left-wing politics, and the medical industry while lifting up voices like Matt Walsh and Charlie Kirk as “vindicated” in these discussions. Listeners are left with a call to "speak the truth," resist cultural trends of affirmation, and, in Gaines’ view, return to grounded truths anchored in faith and family.
