This is going to keep happening because the trans movement is a magnet for alienated and aggrieved youth. The movement then supercharges their disaffection and grievance by setting young people on an impossible quest to defy reality and telling them the world is out to get them.

When reality refuses to be defied, young people suffer. They can't blame the movement that instilled such quixotic hopes. Many blame themselves for not overcoming their internalized transphobia. Others lash out, spurred on by the movement's ugly embrace of 'retributive' violence. 
You could do a whole dissertation cataloging the violent threats, the mock guillotines trans activists carry proudly at protests, the very real pink-and-blue assault rifles, sledgehammers, battle axes, barbed wire-wrapped baseball bats...
The truth is that the subculture that has grown up around trans identities too often excuses, legitimises, and even glorifies violence. unherd.com/newsroom/the-v…
That includes violence directed at the self—where self-harm and suicide demonstrate sincerity and commitment in the face of adversity—and violence directed outward at perceived enemies. When a community mythologizes martyrs, that community will recruit martyrs.
In the wake of not even the last mass shooting carried out by a trans-id person (in fact, several such mass shootings ago), an anon Redditor tried to break through the trans community's culture of phobia indoctrination and incitement:
“The murderous and suicidal rhetoric, the violence against women and children, should’ve stopped years ago. Another good time to discontinue it would be now.”
Minutes later, the comment disappeared. Reddit mods had intervened. Three years ago, in the wake of the shooting at a Nashville elementary school, would have been a good time to put the culture of incitement to violence on ice. Another good time would be now.
