After over a year-and-a-half of stonewalling and legal battles, the Nashville transgender shooter’s journal has finally been released in full.
In March of 2023, Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old self-described “transgender man” (i.e. a woman) who went by the pronouns “he/him,” entered a Christian school and opened fire. She left six people dead including three children before several heroic police officers arrived on the scene and stormed the building. Hale was quickly dispatched, a scene later shown by harrowing body-cam footage.
Early on, it was revealed that Hale had left behind several writings that pointed to her motive. Yet, after a brief mention of it during a news conference, all official discussion of the contents of the “manifesto” went dark and a relentless campaign to keep it hidden ensued. More recently, a judge went so far as to claim that Hale’s writings were protected under copyright law.
Still, there have been leaks, including one back in November of 2023 that left Nashville’s mayor expressing public outrage that the documents had seen the light of day. Now, every page of Hale’s “manifesto” has been released by The Tennessee Star, and it answers any remaining questions about why she did what she did.
Hale repeatedly cited herself as a “boy” and complained about being born “in the wrong body.” She also fantasized about having male genitalia and ranted against people who would address her as a “lady or ma’am.” Further, she showed a hatred for white people, including herself. In one part of the journal, she decried her “white privilege,” a phrase popularized by the Democratic Party. Hale wrote “white nothingness” on numerous pages and talked about “brown girls.” I won’t describe the latter in any detail here given the graphic nature of what was written.
The red, lined-page notebook features the name “Aiden” written on the cover. Aiden was the name that the trans-identifying school shooter went by.
The journal opens with the words “Darkness” and “Everything hurts” written on the inside cover, and “Why does my brain not work right?? Cause I was born wrong” written on the first page. “Nothing on Earth can save me,” it added. “Never-ending pain. Religion won’t save me.” Many of the opening pages feature drawings of broken hearts, writing about loving someone, and the abbreviation P.A.P. frequently written in a heart. Hale also frequently wrote of wanting to die…
…On the page following that, Hale wrote about wishing Hale’s father was dead, and being “the most unhappy boy alive.” Hale wrote it’s a “terrible feeling to know I am nothing of the gender I was born of.”
Multiple pages featured the phrase “white nothingness,” and one page stated, “society + politics are scum in this world that nature should wipe clean.” Another page read, “w/o my creativity, I am useless + meaningless to society. I am of no society. And I have society b/c society ignores to see me. I’m a queer; I am meant to die.”
Hale expressed a desire for her father to die and raged against Christians and religion. The manifesto is 90 pages long, and if you’d like to read specific entries, it can be downloaded here. Again, be warned that much of it is graphic and disturbing.
There is no question that Hale was mentally ill, but that’s part of what makes her story so insidious. This was a woman who was clearly radicalized by far-left ideology, including transgender ideology and Critical Race Theory. She truly believed she had been “born in the wrong body” and was a male despite objective reality saying otherwise while seeing white people as sub-human. She then transplanted her frustrations with her situation onto others by blaming Christians. That she targeted a Christian school was not a coincidence.
Keep in mind that the authorities have still not assigned an official motive despite having a wealth of information confirming why Hale committed the shooting. There is no question that she committed this atrocity because she believed religion and society more broadly were not affirming of her “gender identity.” She was the killer everyone had been warning about for years as so-called gender ideology gained steam, and everyone with power has tried to hide that fact. That includes law enforcement authorities, judges, and the press. This was a gross cover-up that should be answered for.
She believed and suffered from the hate that is proliferated from the left including the mainstream media.
The US government has turned mental illness into a norm! Mental illness is a medical problem and not a norm! But our present government is pushing these ideologies and turn our children against us! If I continue to tell my children an apple is purple and not red, they’ll begin to believe that! It’s the same as transgenderism! If a child is subjected to believe he or she is in the wrong body, they will begin to believe it! A lot of this ideology is not coming from the parents, it’s coming from the medical people we should trust, schools and the government! There are some parents out there that believe this ideology as well or they use this ideology to get the sex they wanted and not what nature chose for them! To take over a government is through the children, just look at former Communist Russia!
There are organized ongoing efforts to propagate hatred toward white and male humans, which have a scope and viciousness l’ve never seen directed at American women or minorities. A lot of this is fueled by falsely linking attitudes and actions of small groups over limited timeframes (Jim crow laws in a few southern states for 15-20 yrs, redlining real estate company policies for less than 10 yrs in Chicago, etc., laws Victorians enacted to protect women workers proclaimed unfair restrictions by later feminists, etc.). If the majority demogaphic wanted to hatefully crush one minority how was it so easy to pass civil rights legislation? If men hate women why are there so many nice facilities for women (dressing rooms, rest rooms, women’sig sports) that are so appealing to MtFs?
Just the fact that they are allowed to not only make their complaints public but to form nonprofit organizations that amass big money proves their claims of intolerance and oppression are lies – destructive lies that not only harm the targets (W & M) but don’t even make adherents like this woman any happier.
