Let me get this straight.
We’re supposed to encourage men to take a bunch of hormones and get fake tatas and pretend they’re women now. Because being your “true self” actually means medically altering yourself to be someone you’re not.
We’re ALSO supposed to excuse their behavior when those hormone medications supposedly turn them into lunatic murderers.
Ummmmm sorry, no.
According to Fox News:
An Australian woman who injured two people during a convenience store ax attack has been convicted of attempted murder after jurors reportedly rejected her argument that she was suffering from a mental episode caused by medications she was taking to transition from male to female.
FFS.
“Evie” Amati was found guilty – and will be sentenced in September.
So, is this TRUE?
Does pumping yourself full of hormones turn you into a LITERAL ax murderer?
If so… WHY are people still doing it?
“I really hope that [Amati] is able to have some sort of rehabilitation because ultimately that’s what justice is about,” Sharon Hacker, a victim who suffered a fractured skull in the attack, told reporters following the verdict.
Yeah… this person is significantly more forgiving than I would be.
If I got MY skull cracked open with an ax… I’d want this psycho put away for a loooooong time.
On January 7 last year, Amati was captured on surveillance video walking into a 7-Eleven store carrying an ax around 2 a.m. local time.
Casual. Nothing to see here. Just a trans with an ax. If you’re scared, you’re probably a bigot.
She walked up to a man waiting in line at the cash register, later identified as Ben Rimmer, and talked to him briefly before swinging the ax at him, the BBC reported. Rimmer fell to the ground with a facial wound and fractures, while Hacker was then attacked near the door.
GAAHHHHHH.
Amati also targeted a third man outside the store, but he managed to protect himself by using his backpack as a makeshift shield.
CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE?!
The BCC reported that Amati was arrested outside the store. During her trial, the victims said they thought she had come from a costume party when she walked into the store with the weapon.
WTF WTF WTF WTF.
This is a freaking nightmare.
Amati pleaded not guilty and told jurors that she was in a bad mental state because she was taking hormones to help her transition from male to female, the station added.
Dear Lord.
Does he realize that this defense isn’t doing him any favors? Next he’ll complain that the prison he’s in isn’t providing him with the same medications he’s blaming for his murderous ax rampage, won’t he?
So has he STOPPED taking the medications? That’s what I want to know.
Surely he wants to be completely off those “transition medications” now since they turn this otherwise “stable woman” into a murderer, right?
Doubt it.
But the jury ultimately sided against Amati, convicting her of two counts of wounding with intent to murder and another count of attempted wounding with intent to murder.
Interesting.
I’m REALLY interested in hearing what “experts” have to say about this. I have no idea if pumping yourself full of hormones can turn you into an ax murderer – but I CAN say that don’t think pumping an ALREADY unstable person full of hormones is a great idea.
Hell – I know some chicks who basically turn into ax murderers (minus the ax, plus a gallon of ice cream) when they’re PMS-ing.
So… are we playing with fire here?
