Before it becomes hopelessly buried . . .

 and it will, some things that should be considered, but won't be.

The Tennessee school shooter was a young woman "identifying" as a male.

The number of young women doing the same has increased enormously in just a few years.

She was also undergoing treatment for mental illness.

Frankly, her identifying as a male is a mental illness.

It's time to stop pretending otherwise.

I'm not saying that all girls identifying as men are shooting dangers.  That would be absurd.  But I am saying that this society has been on a forty-year spree of pretending that mental illness doesn't exist, while it has in fact been increasing.  We oddly acknowledge the latter while not the former.

The impacts of this, from extreme politics, to extreme violence, are inevitable.  Turning a blind eye to that, inexcusable, but that's exactly what will occur.

I'm not one to accuse the media of conspiracies, but the fact of the matter is that generally the media is left of center.  Given that, this story will largely ignore that 1) this act was perpetrated by a mentally ill young woman whose mental illness manifested itself in joining the transgender craze, and 2) she lashed out against a Christian institution.

Now, that doesn't explain all of this, society wide.  

But shouldn't be ignored.
