One of the surest ways to evaluate the confidence level of a political campaign is by observing its tactical desperation. Whether it’s a candidate for office, an issue advocacy coalition, or any other entity, clues are showing how worried they are, and we’re seeing more desperation within the transgender ideology movement in some of the nation’s biggest cities.  

One leading desperation indicator comes from Chicago, where a “Trans Femicide State of Emergency” was declared this week by Mayor Brandon Johnson. For the uninitiated, trans femicide is a term used to describe the murder of a man who thinks he’s a woman, and is widely regarded as a hate crime targeting someone who believes themselves to be transgender. 

As for declaring a state of emergency, something normally reserved for natural disasters or overwhelming threats like hurricanes or riots, Chicago’s new declaration follows the April murder of 31-year-old Davonta Davis, who was killed in a vicious hammer attack. The suspect in the case is charged with first-degree murder and described by WGN-TV News as a man who was engaged in “an on-again, off-again relationship,” with the victim. According to the New York Post, Davis is Chicago’s first and only case of transgender homicide this year.

Any murder, especially........
