A “transgender woman” who apparently holds Nazi beliefs has reportedly been arrested for planning a racially motivated mass shooting.
Authorities were first alerted to suspicion of Elizabeth Ballesteros West, a 56-year-old man who identifies as a woman, when she posted on the page of a transgender women's support group in September, she said . The Oregon one.
He wrote to the group that he was “at the end of my rope”, was being harassed by “transphobic” co-workers and had no other alternative. All of this was posted above a photo of two guns.
West added in the post that he intended to “go out in a blaze of glory” and “do what I have to do and pray that the gods forgive me.”

Investigators soon discovered other violent rhetoric West had posted on the social media platform X where he had expressed hatred of Jews, blacks and immigrants. He had also posted photos of other weapons and a Nazi flag.
“The posts refer to white supremacist troops and the like [he] he was proud of how the Nazis 'rounded up' Jews in the gas chambers during the Holocaust,” notes The Oregonian.
Fast forward to last Tuesday, when FBI agents searched West's home and car and subsequently seized a handgun, 11 handguns, 16 rifles, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, a “shadow diary black” and drawings/notes.
On the first page of her diary, she wrote: “Blood, death, self-torture, self-loathing, wicked thoughts of mass murder at the gloved hands of the Mistress of the Veil.”
He was arrested last Friday and is being held in a local jail.

According to The Oregonian, FBI agents had met with West several times before his arrest, during which time they discovered he suffers from bipolar disorder, dissociative disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Officers met with his “mental health providers” last Thursday after he signed a statement.
“Mental health workers told officers that if West did not receive mental health treatment and had access to weapons, they believed she would be a danger to herself and others,” according to The Oregonian.
To make matters worse, West refused to give up his guns, claiming he needed them to protect himself.
The FBI later concluded that West's social media posts, along with all of his weapons, “constitute an interstate threat.”
West expressed “clear violent animosity toward specific minority groups” while displaying weapons and indicated a “willingness to escalate his original threat of violence toward minority groups,” an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit used to arrest West.
Now that he has been arrested, critics are asking why his arrest has not received any coverage from the major networks, including ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, etc.
A transnazi, persecuting transphobes, Jews and blacks. How will it turn left? Clearly a racist white nationalist, but how are they going to reconcile attacking transphobic individuals? When in doubt, bury the story?

The answer probably lies in the fact that West is “transgender” and that the media would rather bury the story so that “transgender” people are not “stigmatized” by the actions of this “lonely” madman.
The problem is, he's not alone, and the number of “transgender” shooters and would-be shooters has increased in recent years.

Earlier this month, a so-called “gender fluid” man who uses “he/they” pronouns, Dylan Butler, killed a sixth-grader and wounded five others during a mass shooting at Perry Middle School of Iowa.
The most famous “transgender” shooter is Aubrey “Aiden” Hale, who killed three 9-year-old children and three adults during a mass shooting last March before being killed by police.
In light of all these shootings and planned shootings, many critics believe it's time for a national conversation about trans violence:
Will we ever have a conversation about the issue of trans violence?

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and mental illness leads to the majority of violent crimes in the United States.
Until we recognize this truth, there will be more and more trans terrorists.
Transgender terrorism is the greatest violent threat to the American people.
