Charlie Kirk is our first pro-trans assassination victim here's why he won't be the last

n the killing of Charlie Kirk, we may well have experienced our first pro-trans assassination.
Is anyone surprised?
The trans cause has been infused with an irrational fervor from the beginning, its ethos deeply illiberal and even threatening just ask JK Rowling.
Whether it was accurate or not, the implicit message of the gay-rights movement was "Live and let live," while the implicit pro-trans demand is, "Agree to every claim we make, no matter how implausible."....
....What accounts for the intensity and anger of trans advocates?
First of all, the people who have "transitioned" have poured a massive amount of emotional and financial investment into their choice, and there is no going back.
The last thing that they want to hear from anyone is that it is all a fraud, that they've wasted all that psychic energy and money, that they've harmed themselves via hormones or surgery for no reason.
The level of delusion involved in the trans cause, meanwhile, requires pushing on all fronts, to get every claim of the trans advocates accepted and to squash all dissent: If there's one crack in the edifice, it discredits the entire enterprise.
The trans sports issue, for instance, wouldn't seem like a hill to die on, given the popular opposition that it engenders.
But if so-called trans women can't play against real women in competitive sports, then that unacceptably calls into question their legitimacy as women.
In a similar vein, it's not enough to accept the pronouns of trans people everyone needs to start stipulating their own pronouns on every email and every document....
....On top of this, every major issue for the left is always the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Whatever the new cause is, it must be invested with the moral urgency and the unquestionable righteousness of the civil rights struggle.
In moral terms, the progressives always put themselves in the position of Martin Luther King and Thurgood Marshall, the advocates on "the right side of history," while their opponents are perpetually standing in the schoolhouse door.....
