New in PJ Media:
Here’s the sort of story you don’t hear every day, but if leftist hegemony over the culture isn’t broken completely, there will be more of this. The New York Post reported Sunday that “a trans woman who copped to slaughtering her parents tried to skip out on her sentencing in a Utah court because it would be too tough on her — as she revealed that she has converted to Islam, and made an excuse for the cold-blooded murders on Friday.”
“There’s a lot to unpack there,” PJM’s Managing Editor Chris Queen commented with admirable understatement about this story, and yes, there certainly is a lot going on here. Not least among the things that need to be unpacked is the Post’s coverage, which buys into the confusion of this story’s confused protagonist, and in so doing, increases the confusion of an already confusing story.
The first thing to know is that the accused murderer, Mia Bailey, is a man, not a woman. However fashionable the New York Post’s usage may be, Mia Bailey will always be a man, and the Post and all other publications should not feed into his mental illness, but should use male pronouns to refer to him.
Mia is well aware of his own mental illness, saying: “If only I had gotten help this would have been preventable.” The Post noted that Bailey “was handed a sentence of 25 years to life in prison on Friday, after the court heard emotional testimony from both her [sic] brothers, who say they fear for their lives since their sibling gunned down both their parents in 2024.”
That’s understandable, but even as he was sentenced for his brutal murders, Bailey attempted to claim the victim role that leftists so love to assume: at the sentencing, he “appeared in a striped jumpsuit and said nothing during the hearing.” However, “prior to the sentencing, Bailey tried to skip the hearing, claiming she [sic] could have a mental breakdown from the stress of the hearing.”
Bailey’s lawyer, Ryan Stout, offered a whole raft of excuses, claiming that Bailey “had been previously diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, psychosis, possible bipolar with psychosis and schizophrenia.” Stout appeared to blame a hospital for the murders, saying that “the most recent time she [sic] committed herself [sic], she [sic] was discharged three days later, and 10 days later she [sic] murdered her [sic] parents.”
As if it weren’t enough for Mia Bailey to claim to have changed sexes and then to have murdered his parents, Mia Bailey took the opportunity provided by the sentencing hearing to make this story even more bizarre. “During her statement,” the Post reported, “she told the court she converted to Islam.”
Mia Bailey even sounded something like a note of contrition, saying: “Because of my religious beliefs as a Muslim, it would be appropriate to take my life for atonement for what I did.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

What some see as a note of contrition, I see as a request for martyrdom. Having killed non-Muslims, Mia is looking for the state to execute him, thinking it will make him a martyr. No pain or suffering in prison, but an easy entry into Paradise.

I am sure Islam is a mental disease !!!!
Keys says
Looks like this convicted man has a record number of them.
Maybe an exorcism would help him.
Patrick says
When did his interest in Islam, come about? Islam is so intrenched in America, young are so vulnerable to Muslims/Islam, walk around the block, you’re now a Muslim. Mosques in every town, city, county, State, Muslims in Congress, terrorist Muslims in the White House.
somehistory says
Claiming muzziness, he expected to be treated royally. Perhaps his attorney was attempting to have him committed instead of incarcerated.
Whatever the case, he’s a multiple murderer. And, it’s notable that no *reason* was given for the murders of his parents Was it that they admonished him about his muzzieness?
Wellington says
Another total loser who converts to Islam. No surprise.
Mo says
Pure evil. Give this wicked man the death penalty. And swiftly.
James Lincoln says
Just for completeness, the death penalty remains legal in Utah.
Jerome from Layton says
including the firing squad.
OLD GUY says
Soft on crime only creates more crime. The death sentence should be in his future and I mean within three years not thirty.
Winston 101 says
We may not have to worry about this killer getting the death sentence. He may have signed his own death warrant by converting to Islam.
I believe this deranged killer understands as mush about Islam as he understands about being a woman.
Dawah brothers in Prison may not take lightly to this trans infidel insulting Islam and its Prophet by his very existence. They may see him as having defiled the Umma. They may feel the need to purify, by his death, the body of the Umma, for Allah cause! It would be a form of Jihad. Pervert Jihad?
Politics does indeed make strange bedfellows. I find myself agreeing with Jihadis!
Jerome from Layton says
Why didn’t this story show up on Utah media?
