How MAGA Manufactures “Trans Violence”
This is not an isolated media cycle, it is a pattern that thrives on fear, repetition, and a politically useful enemy. After each tragedy, attention drifts from the perpetrator to a scapegoat, usually a vulnerable minority, while rumor outruns verification and the outrage economy converts grief into clicks and bills. The result is a story that feels urgent but solves nothing, it punishes people who did not commit the crime and distracts from the real risk factors that researchers keep finding.
Juste Flamme maps the script and offers a way out, who trans people are in medicine and daily life (identity is not disease), what the data show about violence, and which interventions reduce harm in the real world. We track the pipeline from grievance to gunfire, then list tools that work, threat assessment teams, safe storage, risk orders, mental health support without stigma, and platform rules that are enforced. The lens is transatlantic, Europe's stricter gun laws lower the death toll, yet the same scapegoating playbook is at work, which is why solidarity and prevention must be coordinated on both sides of the ocean.
Facts first, identities last, scapegoats never
