New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is serving the citizens of his city victimhood with a side of misinformation. Mamdani recently shared an article claiming that there has been a recent uptick in violence against transgender people. His post was intended to bolster a longstanding narrative of gender activists: that transgender people are disproportionately targeted by “extremists”.
By convincing us that transgender people face excessive violence and hate, activists hope to bully the American public into supporting extreme gender ideology and interventions. Anyone who voices commonsense objections can easily be smeared as a “hateful” contributor to “anti-trans violence”. The truth is more complex.
