Trump administration-funded researchers and independent collaborators found a startling correlation between proponents of a transgender ideology and left-wing violence, according to a new report obtained by The Post and set to be released. The new study from researchers at Rutgers University, the right-leaning Manhattan Institute and Network Contagion Research Institute found that those normalizing transgender beliefs were more likely to be supportive of political violence. As it should.
Respondents were quizzed about six potential targets of political violence for the study: “killing Charlie Kirk, killing Don“These findings suggest that gender ideology is associated with LWA [left-wing authoritarianism] and willingness to justify political violence,” stated the study, which titled “Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology?”ald Trump, killing Brian Thompson, arson of ICE buildings, damaging wealthy people’s property, and violence against police.” “Experimental research is needed to determine causality,” according to the researchers.
The study comes amid recent public debates about high-profile shootings involving transgender individuals. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated by a gunman who allegedly had a trans-roommate lover. The late conservative icon was speaking at a Utah university campus on Sept 10, 2025, when he was shot before a daytime crowd while addressing a question on transgender violence. “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” asked one attendee during a question-and-answer session.
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” the questioner said. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” the Turning Point USA founder responded. Kirk was shot in the neck moments later and later died at a local hospital at the age of 31.
