Transgender Cult Member Booted From Courtroom — Again — After Screaming About Officers ‘Detransitioning’ Him

A transgender member of a cultlike group facing murder charges was ejected from a courtroom for a second time on Tuesday over an outburst about his treatment in jail.

Alexander Leatham, a man who identifies as a woman, accused officers of not respecting his stated female gender in a California facility while shouting words from a written statement on paper, according to media reports. Leatham is one of several followers of the “Zizians,” a movement centered around veganism and other causes and linked to at least six murders.

“The jail has been hormonally detransitioning me for a quarter of a decade,” Leatham reportedly yelled while his hands bore shackles. He then tried to resist officers escorting him out, the Post Millennial reported.

Leatham and another defendant were charged in 2022 in a violent attack on a California landlord who tried to evict Zizian members living in box trucks on his property. Leatham is accused of attempted murder, as well as murder stemming from the death of a Zizian member the landlord killed in self-defense, for which Leatham is being held culpable, Courthouse News reported.

Leatham’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Zizians have never publicly made their goals clear, but their leader is a trans-identifying male who once wrote a blog promoting veganism, “punching Nazis” and other ideas, plus concerns about artificial intelligence’s effects on humanity. Maryland police arrested him and other followers in February after a resident reported they were camping on his property in box trucks with a load of weapons for unknown reasons.

Leatham and co-defendant Suri Dao, who also identifies as transgender, do not yet have a trial date. Zizian member Maximillian Snyder awaits his own trial on charges of murdering the California landlord from Leatham and Dao’s case before he could testify against them, the New York Post reported.

Leatham was last booted from a court proceeding in March after he reportedly began shouting and resisting officers who tried to bring him in via wheelchair.

“This is a show trial to coordinate the genocide of transgender people!” Leatham yelled over and over.
