The fact that the writer picked a few atypical and outrageous stories looks like a good example of nutpicking fallacy and overextended outrage . There's also stereotyping (the fallacy) when they classify all LGBT people as mentally ill, and all mentally ill people as being dangerous. |

Until the reply to Trevor Folley's question about what you thought might be a fallacy, it just seemed like a few statements about a few individuals, accompanied by an implied assumption or two (e.g., the authorities' reason for not releasing the manifesto). The idea of a rant crossed my mind. As statements, they're neither fallacious or non-fallacious although they might be true (accurate) or false (inaccurate). If the intention is to present an argument along the lines of: P1 – here are some things that have happened recently P2 – these things are all undesirable C – Therefore, transgender individuals are insane and a problem to our society ... well, things like nutpicking fallacy, stereotyping (the fallacy), fallacy of composition, overextended outrage , among others seem to apply ... along with non sequitur for the missing link between undesirable actions and insanity. |
