Minneapolis school shooter

It's getting a bit confusing have two threads on this topic on the same forum. Especially on my mobile. I posted similar comments on both and got this below. Emphasis added. You'll appreciate hopefully why my upset being called "performative" and "extreme." That's why I mentioned my race.

Yes I agree the actions of the Catholic Church at many points in history are barbaric and shocking. I am not Catholic any long, but I continue to find hate against Catholics especially children to be particularly upsetting. Note when I say my family has left a country because of religious / ethnic based hate it wasn't Ireland.

"I have strong criticisms of trans-identifying men, and I often find myself at odds with their presence in certain spaces. Yet, I also find the extreme reactions from some gender critical feminists of which I consider myself one to be overly performative and, at times, misdirected.

What stands out to me in the recent case of this shooter is not only his gender but also his race. It’s noteworthy how often discussions about male violence, especially in mass shootings, overlook the recurring factor of whiteness. Mainstream feminist discourse often fails to account for this. There’s a recurring pattern where the struggles of Black women are co-opted by white feminists to advance a broader agenda that doesn’t always benefit Black women themselve"

Hope that clarified and I wish we didn't have multiple threads on the same topic !

@Nichebitch we will not be gaslighted that this is a woman’s crime.

Thanks @ForestAtTheSea

Calling a sick and twisted murderer a man, and commenting on news outlets refusing to call said murderer a man is not transphobia.

He IS a man. Telling outright lies about the sex of the bastard who shot those poor children, making it out to be a woman's crime - that's despicable. What HE did is unforgivable, and the fact the various news sources reporting on it either went straight to "she" or noticeably shifted their language to accommodate TRA speak instead of reporting clearly and accurately is horrid.

Using dead children to pile up on trans people indeed! Nope, we're just not allowing the waters to be muddied by having any insinuation that such an unspeakable crime against innocent children was done by a woman. At all.

The same guy has most pages of the manifesto, I saw them in various media but I can't dig too much right now as very time-intensive.

Some guy has translated the diary. The person posting it says it's written English, but with Cyrillic letters. (I have not verified this):

Have you got a link?

according to news reports today, he didn’t want to be trans anymore, felt he’d brainwashed himself and wanted to cut his hair but felt unable to. This is the danger of affirming it.

That's because there was no confirmation as to who the gunman was.

But once they got the name (and of course the special word), you could almost hear the pitter patter of frantic scurrying about in BBC News HQ to ensure any "he" was swiftly replaced. At absolute pains to avoid calling him a man.

This is the first I've heard about the shooter/killer being trans. I'm sure the BBC news yesterday talked about a gunman.

Why do you say you need to state that you're mixed race?
I can assure you that violent, religious people existed in the UK too. Violence imposed by white people on white people. Sometimes from Ireland but carried out here.
Many women have stories of how viscous Catholic Nuns were and just read their history of mother and baby homes.

And is often autism in disguise. Autism which can make a person feel outcast or that they are not fitting in hence often thinking they might be ‘trans’, and also making them susceptible to bad influences through on line groups who seem like friends.

My DH also read somewhere that he was referred to as "the person" 🙄

In one on line version they avoid using any pronoun but you could say they ‘outsource’ the truth:

Westman's name was legally changed from Robert to Robin in 2020, Minnesota court records show. In the application the judge wrote: "Minor child identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification."

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushed back against hatred directed towards the transgender community in the wake of the attack.

In their own updates, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Westman was a "man, claiming to be transgender", and in his post on X, FBI Director Kash Patel referred to Westman as "a male".

To be fair, they also refer to ‘her’ as a ‘lunatic transgender assassin’ which is pretty accurate.

That is a scary list.

@SinnerBoy he has the long face common in tall men, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a lanky six foot or more. He'd look ridiculous trying to pass as a woman. Something he was probably aware of.

I'd bet every doubletake, every misgendering, every perceived slight was worried like a dog with bone. Possibly dissected on line with his community who would have fed his narcissistic sense of victimhood.

Read the BBC link a few posts above.
He was ‘trans’ even as a minor.

oh ffs

He’s a violent man, and violent men are drawn to this extremist ideology.

I've done the same. All the "they" and "them" and referring to him by surname to avoid saying the thing we know they want to avoid is predictable ol' BBC. But "she"? No, absolutely not, they can fuck right off with that.

The delusion is yours. The TRA “community” is known for wishing violence on other people. Check it out anywhere where they feel “safe” in these views.
