The manifesto of Audrey Hale, the transgender shooter who killed six Christians at The Covenant School in Nashville, has finally been released, shedding light on the deep mental health issues that drove her March 2023 attack.
The 90-page journal reveals Hale’s struggles with identity, her resentment toward Christianity, and her obsession with racial politics.
Hale, a 28-year-old female who identified as male, meticulously planned the deadly assault, leaving behind disturbing insights into her state of mind.
In one chilling entry, Hale wrote, “If God won’t give me a boy body in heaven, then Jesus is a f—ggot,” showcasing her disdain for religious teachings and the confusion she felt about her gender identity.
The manifesto is filled with evidence of mental illness, including suicidal thoughts, and shows how her internal turmoil was left untreated. These revelations come at a time when radical leftists continue to promote gender-affirming care for minors, despite the growing evidence that such care could exacerbate underlying mental health issues.
While Hale’s writings reveal the tragic consequences of unchecked mental illness, the radical left is pushing for policies that promote these very struggles.
Gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers and irreversible surgeries, has been hailed by left-leaning individuals as a solution to gender identity issues. Yet, as Hale’s manifesto shows, these ideologies can deepen mental health problems and lead to devastating outcomes.
The mental health struggles seen in Hale’s case align with a broader pattern among left-leaning individuals.
A study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that individuals who align with leftist ideologies experienced higher levels of mental distress compared to those on the right.
This divide, which existed even before the pandemic, worsened as lockdowns and public health measures took a toll. Republicans, on the other hand, reported better mental well-being throughout the pandemic, highlighting the significant mental health disparity between political groups.
This is not surprising, given the left’s embrace of ideologies that often celebrate mental illness under the guise of social progress. By encouraging youth to question their gender and undergo life-altering medical procedures, left-leaning individuals are contributing to a growing mental health crisis. Hale’s case is a tragic example of what happens when mental illness goes untreated, and the results are nothing short of catastrophic.
At the same time, radical leftists continue to push for gun control in the wake of tragedies like the Covenant School shooting.
Their calls to disarm law-abiding citizens come as their own policies, such as endorsing gender-affirming care for minors, make the mental health crisis worse.
Instead of addressing the root causes of these tragedies, leftists focus on restricting the rights of responsible gun owners, ignoring the very real mental health crisis at play.
Hale’s journal also reveals an obsession with race and privilege, another hallmark of radical leftist ideology. She expressed hatred for children from privileged backgrounds, writing about her disdain for “fancy private schools” and kids with “white privileges.”
This fixation on racial politics, combined with her gender confusion, created a volatile mix of emotions that ultimately led to her horrific actions.
As radical leftists continue to advocate for gun control and push dangerous ideologies, it’s clear that their policies are making things worse: America’s mental health crisis is being fueled by these harmful ideas, leaving individuals like Hale without the help they desperately need.
Texas Gun Rights will continue fighting against these failed policies and defend the rights of law-abiding citizens. Rather than disarming those who seek to protect themselves, we must confront the mental health crisis that is being fueled by radical ideologies and ensure that individuals receive the care they need before it’s too late.
