He stuck out of his foot so that I would fall over.

Wow.

I've had so many things happen since then.

I've had people chasing me down in state houses.

I've had to call security for events because people have like called in bomb threats and threatened to kill me.

I regularly get people telling me, you should die.

You should kill yourself.

You should hang yourself or I am going to kill you.

And even sending like physical hate mail to my home and threatening my family.

Yeah.

I mean, having been on these drugs myself, I know just how disorienting it is.

And I know just how much it can twist your mind, just being told that this is going to make you happy and then it just distorting you further and further.

It's not an easy process to go through, especially when you're young and you don't know who you are yet.

And I feel like on either side, there's...

People are very black and white about this.

A lot of the mainstream media is trying to suppress those incidents of these transgender shooters and not make the obvious connection between their mental health issues leading to their transition and then the tragedy that unfolds from that point on.

And then there's the people who, of course, are just immediately dismissing them as, oh, they're crazy and they just have mental illness.

And I think while that is true, I think –

The bigger picture is that there is a systemic failure on the part of these individuals to be able to figure out their real problems and then the doctors worsening that and then the mainstream media by choosing to uphold the ideology rather than question it and its role in these violent incidents.

It's continuing that.
