Declaring a transgender gender identity does not make you any less likely to commit a crime. Men in prison, especially sex offenders, are not any less dangerous (and so can be housed alongside women) simply because they identify as “trans.”
Yet when it transpired that the Colorado Springs gay nightclub shooter identified as “non-binary,” a CNN broadcaster was stunned: “I don’t know what to say about that.” The reason for her astonishment is simple. People who identify as trans are top of the victim hierarchy. A victim can’t be a villain!
Really, though, people who identify as transgender are just as likely as anyone else to do bad or unlawful things. Take Biden’s deputy assistant secretary for fuel and waste, Sam Brinton.
Brinton identifies as non-binary but was recently charged with felony theft after he was caught on camera stealing a Vera Bradley suitcase worth $2,325 from baggage claim.
According to the New York Post, when challenged, Brinton “initially denied stealing the suitcase to police officers, but later claimed they took it by mistake and still had it in their possession.”
“If I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don’t have any clothes for another individual,” Brinton first told the officer. “That was my clothes when I opened the bag.”
However, Brinton called the officer back two hours after their first conversation and confessed to not being “completely honest.”
They said they accidentally grabbed the wrong bag at the luggage carousel due to exhaustion.
According to the court filings, Brinton said when they opened the bag at their hotel, they realized it wasn’t theirs, but got nervous that someone would think they stole it and didn’t know what to do. They said they emptied the luggage and left the person’s clothes inside the drawers of a dresser in the hotel room.
