Transgender man arrested by FBI for threatening to kill ‘transphobes,’ suspected links to ‘alt-right extremism
Federal Prosecutors Charge Oregon Man for Threatening Post in Trans Woman Support Group
In a shocking turn of events, federal prosecutors have charged an Oregon man, who identifies as a woman, for making a disturbing post in a “trans woman support group.” The post, which included a chilling reference to going out in a “blaze of glory,” was accompanied by the discovery of a staggering arsenal of 27 guns and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition in the man’s home.
Elizabeth West Faces Charges for Interstate Threats
The individual, known as Elizabeth West, now faces charges of making interstate threats. According to court documents, West made the alarming Facebook post on September 26, expressing frustration with being bullied by transphobic individuals and feeling hopeless about their situation. “I’ve been preparing for this moment for a long time,” West wrote, hinting at a potential act of violence.
FBI Investigation Reveals Disturbing Racial Hatred
Interestingly, the FBI did not immediately arrest West after the initial interview in September. However, months later, the investigation took a dark turn when it was discovered that West’s social media exhibited extreme racial hatred towards black people, immigrants, and Jews. The court documents revealed a disturbing bio that described West as a “Nazi dominatrix from Hell” who was ready to confront what they perceived as the “blackening of America and Europe” caused by black individuals and Jewish people.
Gender Ideology Fuels Animosity Towards Other Races
It appears that West’s animosity towards other races is closely tied to their gender ideology. The court documents suggest that West’s hatred towards black people stems from instances of being “misgendered” by them and experiencing physical assault from a group of black men. As for immigrants, West’s anger arises from learning about an immigrant who received free transgender surgery through Oregon’s public healthcare plan, while West would have to pay for their own gender surgery.
FBI Monitors West’s Social Media and Executes Search Warrant
For months, the FBI closely monitored West’s social media activities and questioned them about their racial views. On January 9, after agents discovered a gun purchase, they executed a search warrant and arrested West. The affidavit references “far-right terror,” “white supremacy,” and “alt-right extremism,” painting a picture of West as a conservative terrorist.
Chilling Drawings and Arrest Reported
During the search, FBI agents made a disturbing discovery. They found approximately 48 hand drawings depicting a superhero named “Ms. Wolf” engaging in violent acts against men, many of whom were referred to using a racial slur. The arrest was first reported by CourtWatch.
FBI’s Pattern of Labeling Targets as Far-Right Extremists
It is worth noting that the FBI has faced criticism for labeling its targets as far-right white supremacist domestic terrorists, even when the evidence suggests otherwise. This pattern continues as the FBI cites statistics to claim that white supremacist domestic terrorists pose the greatest threat to the country.
Similar Cases Highlight FBI’s Focus on Anti-Conservative Angle
Recent cases have also shed light on the FBI’s tendency to ignore serious crimes unless they have an anti-conservative angle. For instance, the FBI arrested a transgender-identifying individual for threatening to carry out a school shooting, but the lead fact presented was their use of racist language online. Additionally, the FBI portrayed a gang of pedophile Satanists as white supremacists, despite one of the members being Hispanic and expressing disdain for western civilization.
These troubling patterns raise concerns about the FBI’s priorities and its handling of cases involving different ideologies and crimes.

This case serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing discrimination and intolerance towards marginalized communities. It is our collective responsibility to create a society that is safe and accepting for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity, race, or background.
