WASHINGTON Trump administration-funded researchers and independent collaborators found a startling correlation between proponents of a transgender ideology and left-wing violence, according to a new report obtained by The Post and set to be released Wednesday.
The new study from researchers at Rutgers University, the right-leaning Manhattan Institute and Network Contagion Research Institute found that those normalizing transgender beliefs were more likely to be supportive of political violence.
Respondents were quizzed about six potential targets of political violence for the study: "killing Charlie Kirk, killing Donald Trump, killing Brian Thompson, arson of ICE buildings, damaging wealthy people's property, and violence against police."
"These findings suggest that gender ideology is associated with LWA [left-wing authoritarianism] and willingness to justify political violence," stated the study, which titled "Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology?"
"Experimental research is needed to determine causality," according to the researchers.

"One of our study's most interesting and perhaps shocking findings was that accepting gender ideology appeared to augment authoritarian attitudes on support for political violence," Colin Wright, one of the researchers, told The Post.

The report concluded that "gender ideology may function as an ideological accelerant, telling left-wing authoritarian psychology who the enemy is, why the situation is urgent, andin those already disposed toward forcethat violence is legitimate."
"We also assessed catastrophizing beliefs, such as the perceived likelihood that a genocide of individuals that identify as transgender is currently under way, and associate extremist responses, such as belief in the need to censor and punish those who oppose transgender dogmas and ignore Supreme Court rulings on gender ideology issues," it added.

Not that this is a surprise to anyone. We've been seeing more and more violence from "trans" in the recent years along with their supporters. Telling already mentally ill people that anyone who refuses to agree/affirm them is tantamount to genocide, some will without a doubt react with violence. Others just want an excuse to kill people who they see as their political enemies and the whole "trans" issue is one of their favorite justifications.
All this was created by the Democrats when they needed a new victim class after Obergefell v. Hodges which is why the whole "trans" thing came out of no where not long after the SCOTUS ruling, and was suddenly the #1 crisis facing the country.
Andy Ngo has been documenting this very phenomenon for years, a direct intersection between violent, left wing groups, and the militant trans community; what he calls transtifa. His reporting on the trans death cult is rather scary.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
