US EditionTrans Politician Says We Should Focus on Actions, Not Gender, After School Shooting
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned efforts to spread hate against the transgender community following a school shooting that killed two children and wounded 17 others.
- On Wednesday, 23-year-old Robin Westman shot multiple people at Annunciation Catholic School in south Minneapolis, resulting in the deaths of two young children and injuries to 17 others before Westman died by suicide.
- Westman's parent filed for a legal name change to Robin in November 2019, which was granted in early 2020 after a hearing and cited the child's female identification.
- In the aftermath of the shooting, leading conservatives connected the incident to transgender topics, intensifying demands for limits on gender-affirming treatments and amplifying anti-transgender messaging.
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey strongly criticized those who are exploiting the tragedy to spread negativity toward transgender individuals, emphasizing that such actions demonstrate a loss of empathy and shared human dignity.
- The incident highlights ongoing mass shooting issues predominantly involving cisgender men, while advocates warn against scapegoating transgender people and stress calls for stronger gun control.
