The Washington Times: The transgender coverup

Minnesota tragedy is the result of affirming mental illness

A man pretending to be a woman murdered two children and injured 17 others while they attended Mass at a Catholic church in Minneapolis last week. Many “journalists” covering the tragedy have done their best to downplay or even conceal facts about the perpetrator’s identity that are relevant to this anti-Christian act.

The word “transgender” doesn’t appear in many of the online articles by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, Politico or the New York Times. The Gray Lady even claims ignorance of any motive for the despicable deed while taking care to refer to the assailant as Robin Westman using the pronoun “her.”

“Since she identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification, it’s now Robin Westman,” CNN host Jake Tapper solemnly intoned on his show.

It’s strange for institutions that preach about the overriding importance of self-identification to choose to withhold identity-related details that shed light on an unthinkable crime. Here, there’s no mystery about what fueled the hatred.

The gunman left a manifesto announcing hostility toward Donald Trump and Christianity. “Where is your God” and “Kill Trump Now” were written on the implements of malevolence that fired through a window at defenseless students gathered in prayer.

This is not the first incident involving a gender-swapping assassin. The 2018 shooting in Aberdeen, Md., the 2019 shooting in Denver, and the 2023 shooting in Nashville were perpetrated by individuals posing as members of the opposite sex.

Mental illness is a common theme in these monstrous offenses. A National Institute of Justice review of 172 multiple homicides from 1966 - 2019 found “nearly all persons who engage in mass shootings were in a state of crisis in the days or weeks preceding the shooting.”

It’s entirely possible those crises were at least in part accelerated by chemical cocktails. As a Food and Drug Administration scientist wrote in an internal 2022 email: “We did find increased risk of depression and suicidality” among children using puberty blockers.

Yet these ideologically driven researchers didn’t care about the enhanced potential for violence among those using these substances. “[T]here is definitely a need for these drugs to be approved for gender transition, as they are typically not covered by insurance and are expensive out of pocket,” the FDA researcher continued.

America First Legal obtained those government communications last month after it filed a lawsuit seeking clarity on how such drugs were approved on President Joseph R. Biden’s watch. Having this information is critical for the public to evaluate what should be done to address societal problems that result in disturbed individuals lashing out against the innocent.

In many cases, a significant slice of the electorate only hears half the story. Whenever someone from one of the left’s most privileged classes of “victims” commits a crime, compliant media outlets quickly move on to something — anything — else. They bury inconvenient findings and encourage parents to overlook the warning signs. That’s a dangerous habit.

First Lady Melania Trump offered advice to prevent future horrors on X. “The tragic mass killing in Minnesota illuminates the need for pre-emptive intervention in identifying potential school shooters. Early warning signs are often evident, with many individuals exhibiting concerning behaviors and making violent threats online prior to their actions,” she wrote.

Instead of affirming the choices of troubled young minds, we need to adopt a more sensible stance toward mental illness that recognizes the reality of biology.

The most maddening media coverage of the Minnesota church shooting

It was a tragedy that struck the hearts of Americans across the country: Young children, praying in pews, became the victims of a mass shooting in Minneapolis. Two, aged 8 and 10, are dead, with 18 others injured.

The shooter, who took his own life, has been identified as Robin Westman, but was born Robert Paul Westman. The monster who premeditatively shot at children in a church was a biological male. But don’t tell that to CNN’s Jake Tapper and contributor Juliette Kayyem, who bent over backward not to offend the transgender late murderer (emphasis mine).

MEDIA AND POLITICIANS SIDESTEP OBVIOUS MOTIVE IN MINNEAPOLIS MASSACRE

“The Minneapolis Star Tribune says, according to court records, because there’s been some confusion about what the shooter’s name was,” Tapper explained after the shooting. “Robin Westman’s mother applied to change her child’s name in 2019. It was at one point ‘Robert Paul Westman.'”

“But since she identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification [and] was underage, it’s now Robin Westman,” he respectfully continued, as applying the “proper” pronouns here apparently are more important than the crime or the victims.

“It appears, based on our reporting, that he had ties, or that the assailant had ties to the school, both because she or they went there or because the mother went there,” Kayyem later carefully noted while nearly needing a chiropractor on set from all the politically correct twisting. “That now tells me that’s why they knew … what the school looked like.”

This is CNN.

But here’s the thing about this biological male: He wrote before the shooting that he regretted being transgender.

“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he said in a handwritten note before the shooting.

“I can’t cut my hair now, as it would be an embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack,” he added.

It was later reported that this sick individual used a photo of Jesus Christ for target practice.

If we had actual journalism anymore, ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, and Minnesota Star Tribune would do deep dives into just how many transgender individuals under the age of 20 regret making such a monumental decision without fully understanding the possible mental consequences of an irreversible, life-changing decision.

Instead, all of the aforementioned networks and publications referred to Westman as “she” or “her,” while their opinion sides all bemoaned so-called “right-wing media” for even broaching the fact that Westman was transgender and clearly mentally ill as a result of a gender transition. Both factors are entirely relevant, and to broach them isn’t being transphobic; it’s an honest attempt to analyze what led to this horrific tragedy.

And for what it’s worth, Westman’s mother, who fully supported her 19-year-old son to transition, is not cooperating with authorities to the point that she recently hired a criminal defense attorney. Why is that?

As for the Trump White House, it reportedly has ordered the NIH to study “regret” and “detransition” among children who have transitioned, according to an internal memo leaked to NPR back in April.

“This is very important to the President and the Secretary,” the memo says. “They would like us to have funding announcements within the next six months to get this moving.”

Good.

Meanwhile, former CNN reporter Oliver Darcy showed once again that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in his Media Matters-inspired newsletter while scolding some outlets for correctly labeling the shooter as transgender.
