Staff ReportsIn a twist of fate that seems ripped straight from the pages of a poorly scripted horror story, one of the notorious Slender Man attackers has now decided to identify as transgender. Morgan Geyser, who was infamously involved in the brutal stabbing of her friend, Payton Leutner, back in 2014, has negotiated her way out of a Wisconsin mental hospital with the help of some very imaginative psychiatrists.
The horrific attack, which involved Geyser and her accomplice Anissa Weier stabbing the innocent 12-year-old a whopping 19 times, was allegedly motivated by their need to please the fictional monster known as Slender Man. Apparently, teenagers in occult-like fan clubs can take things a bit too seriously. Now, almost a decade later, Geyser, who has just turned 22, claims she is actually a male and expects society to move on as if her actions were just a small teenage mishap, like stealing a car or trying out for the school play.

At a recent court hearing, Geyser was presented by her psychiatrist as someone who has made progress, declaring her readiness to re-enter society like a sitcom character coming back from summer camp. She sported thick glasses and a sweater that could double as a cozy blanket, which might raise questions about her current state of mind. Meanwhile, Payton Leutner’s family is rightfully horrified by the entire situation, insisting that letting Geyser return poses a risk not just to themselves but the entire community. Good on them for prioritizing safety over whatever misguided notion of rehabilitation is being peddled.
It’s interesting how the psychiatric community can pivot from “dangerous psychotic” to “this individual is ready to return to society” in a matter of years, especially when considering Geyser’s documented history of mental illness. One psychiatrist, Brooke Lundbohm, claims that Geyser’s gender identity has been a part of her therapy process, suggesting that wearing male pronouns and using a breast binder is all it takes to demonstrate “growth.” In fairness, transforming one’s identity is a trendy narrative these days, but few can boast a past that includes attempted murder.
Geyser’s transition has stirred up debate, igniting the age-old question of whether transgenderism is simply a symptom of deeper issues. Statistical data shows a concerning connection between gender dysphoria and psychological disorders, with evidence hinting that the violent acts committed by transgender individuals are not isolated incidents. Relying on the opinions of professionals, Geyser’s doctor friends argue she should be released, while a dissenting psychiatrist warns that Geyser poses a “significant risk of bodily harm” if let loose. Seems like a classic case of “let’s ignore red flags for the sake of progress.”
With reports of Geyser’s transition and the justification for her potential release serving as a badge of honor for the mental health community, it’s time for taxpayers to ask just what it is they’re funding. Society should reflect on the fine line between understanding mental illness and letting someone back on the streets after they attempted to murder their friend. After all, no one wants to experience the horror of another Slender Man retaliation in their neighborhood—especially not from someone who thinks dressing like a boy is enough to erase their past. The case of Morgan Geyser serves as a jarring reminder that some actions carry consequences, and it seems society’s grasp on safety may be slipping faster than Geyser’s hold on reality.
