Acknowledging the Relationship Between Transgender Identity and Violence It is time for an honest discussion.

[Michie]

The heartbreaking shootingyesterday at a Minneapolis Catholic Church that killed two innocent children ages 8 and 10 and injured 17, was just the most recent mass shooting perpetrated by a self-identified transgendered individual. The suspect, Robin Westman, has been identified in the media as a “transgender person in their early 20s.”

Westman, a 22-year-old biological male named Robert, who identified as female, left a detailed manifesto in a spiral-bound notebook as well as a series of YouTube videos to help explain his plans to murder the children. The New York Post published photos of the pages from Westman’s manifesto, which included a chilling diagram of the Ascension Catholic Church where the shooting took place. Drawing the altar as well as the place where the children would be seated, the shooter even included the holy water font at the entrance of the Church. According to The Post:

In one of the videos by the alleged Minneapolis shooter, a hand slowly turns the pages of a red notebook, which is laid out on top of what appears to be schematic gun diagrams. Each page is filled with inscrutable handwritten scrawl, and an occasional plume of smoke is seen from the bottom of the screen as the person turning the pages coughs and occasionally maniacally giggles.

The motive for the Minneapolis shootings has not been revealed, but the Post has reported that Westman’s mother had been employed by the Annunciation Church and School for five years prior to her retirement in 2021. Westman’s manifesto will provide more clues to his motives, but it is unclear whether the Minneapolis police or Governor Tim Walz will release this information.
