Eric Conn is worth a follow for honest journalism.

Articles like these should be used to examine how news stories are manipulated to twist a narrative. What do you see?

1st, the superlatives used to talk about the "trans" person are glowing. Zero negativity. She is clearly the hero of this story.

Second, suicide is alluded to, but not made explicit. She just "died." It's all passive. They want to take the action away from the person who killed himself.

It is made to seem like the inevitable choice of a victim/hero who was bullied. There's martyr language



Third, the article cuts you off from making an obvious conclusion—being trans is so horrible it led to this mentally ill trans person committing suicide. But they quote the mother as saying it wasn't her fault.

Remember, she's the hero. This is how the article concludes.

Fourth, the culpability is placed on bullies — people who make life hard on our hero/victim — not on the mom who encouraged a transition, or on the dude who was mentally unstable and thought he was a woman.

A quick Google search reveals all the stories about this person are virtually identical.

Questions to ask about any story: Who do they say is the hero? The villain?

Who gets blamed? Praised?

Does the hero/villain complex match reality? Biblical truth?

n this case, we are told that a mentally unstable person who killed himself is a hero, while anyone who criticizes trans people is culpable of their death.

Simply for being critical of a decision that was actually bad. It led to suicide.

Sin is praised, meanwhile.

What should the real narrative be? The Trans movement leads to mental illness and, yes, lots of sad cases of suicide and self harm.

It is incredibly dangerous and harmful.

People who support, encourage, and fund it are monsters.
