Roid Rage and Gender-Affirming Infanticide
This week, Stephen Crowder, a comedian during investigative journalism, scooped the world by receiving and publishing the long-awaited manifesto of the Nashville school shooter.
You can see the program here and a follow up here. (Language warning. Mr. Crowder and his crew enjoy potty-mouth humor).
During the public discussion that ensued, once comment, made by one Rene Jax, merits attention. It is outside my field, so I make no claims as to its accuracy, but it is also something I have not heard discussed before in any context, so would like the amplify it:
” … a major component of the shooter’s history is that of a female taking massive doses of injectable Testosterone. Gender doctors do not do the injections. The patients are taught to inject themselves and very few are monitored by the money grabbing docs.
“And many of these gender girls overdose on T in their attempt to get more secondary male sex characteristics…faster.
“As we know from the weight lifters and professional athletes who use anabolic steroids, “Roid rage” and mental derangement are a common side effects.
“According to the CDC anabolic steroids can cause the following symptoms
- Depression
- Paranoia
- Jealousy
- Irritation
- Aggression
- Anxiety
- Mood swings
- Changes to sleep patterns
- Appetite changes
- A desire to take more steroids
“And in a paper on https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8995103/
“It is now generally accepted that some AAS users develop uncharacteristically violent or criminal behaviors while taking these drugs. Although these behaviors may partially reflect premorbid psychopathology, sociocultural factors, or expectational effects, accumulating evidence suggests that they are also attributable to biological effects of AAS themselves.
“The mechanism of these effects remains speculative, but preliminary data suggest a possible role for brain regions involved in emotional reactivity, such as the amygdala, and regions involved in cognitive control, including the frontal cortex.
“For unknown reasons, these effects appear idiosyncratic; most AAS users display few behavioral effects, but a minority develops severe effects.
“Doctors who prescribe these drugs to kids [are] using them for medical experimentation.
My comment:
Predictably, the coverage of the Shooter Manifesto is thoughtcrime, and has since been censored and scrubbed from Google searches, Instragram, Facebook, YouTube and the like. The general public will never know the information existed. Big Brother has put it down the memory hole.
Predictably, the news covered the story not by drawing attention to the facts of the case, but by criticizing and demonizing Mr. Crowder for presenting the facts. As the Third Law of Social Justice demands, predictably, the criticism was to ascribe to him their own means and motives, and scream and bewail that his motives were impure.
Likewise, I find it odd that no public discussion of the psychiatric side affects of the chemical castrations and malformations doublethinkingly called “Gender Affirming Care” have reached many ears. It is not the forefront remark leading any discussion of psycho transgender mass murderers, of which there are many.
