Genocide Rhetoric Primes Lone‑Wolf Violence

Repeated claims that a 'trans genocide' is underway, paired with exaggerated suicide statistics and 'life‑saving care' slogans, can give unstable individuals a moral script to 'strike first.' The Minneapolis Catholic school shooting by a trans‑identifying former student is framed as a case where apocalyptic messaging intersected with severe mental illness. References to 'Trans Day of Vengeance' and armed 'self‑defense' narratives show how this talk has migrated into mainstream outlets and activism. — If crisis rhetoric functions as a permission slip for violence, institutions and media must recalibrate medical messaging and movement frames to avoid radicalization while preserving debate.
