Ever since the dead-eyed, boyish-looking Audrey Hale blasted her way into the Nashville Covenant School on March 27, 2023 and killed three students and three adult staffers before two cops shot her dead, the unanswered question remains: Why did she do it?

Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters
