Violence Is The Logical And Desired Outcome Of Leftists’ Trans Victim Narrative

The horrific Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, became the latest act of violence perpetrated by an individual claiming to be transgender. The FBI confirmed the “shooter has been identified as Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman.” Victimhood narratives always end in violence, making grievance politics a precursor to atrocities ranging from mass shootings to genocide.

The left sells this oppressor/oppressed narrative to its constituents — including and especially the so-called trans community, but this community stands out for one important reason: they are uniquely prone to irrational behavior as gender dysphoria is a mental disorder.

Imagine if the leftist press relentlessly pushed a narrative telling schizophrenics that their very existence is being threatened by an evil cabal of conservatives plotting to destroy them. Imagine if once impartial but now ideologically corrupt medical institutions reinforced that messaging. People with schizophrenia would be far more likely to commit acts of violence against their “oppressors.” It doesn’t take much clairvoyance to predict that sequence of events.

It would be unthinkable to exploit schizophrenics by affirming their delusions, granting them elevated status in society, and giving them carte blanche to behave however they like, and yet this is precisely what the left is doing with gender dysphoria. Increasingly bizarre activism on behalf of the “trans community” is characterized as the noble pursuit of “rights” intended to untangle victims caught in the diabolical web of an evil cis mafia conspiring against them.

Rather than recognizing and treating this for what it is — a mental disorder — Democrats are instead convincing “trans people” that the despair, anxiety, frustration, sadness, and confusion they experience derive from treacherous bad actors who wish to undermine their identity. If only “backward” Americans would allow men to invade women’s bathrooms, to shower alongside them at gyms and schools, to categorically destroy women’s sports, to sexually mutilate scores of children through macabre surgeries, then the “trans community” would ascend to a state of eternal bliss. That’s what the left tells people suffering from a mental disorder. Their pending euphoria is made impossible only through the bigotry of nonbelievers.  

People suffering from mental disorders often face an irresistible temptation to attribute their afflictions to the unwillingness of others to embrace reality as they see it. To pour gasoline on that fire by giving credence to a warped reality is unprecedented in the medical community or in society at large – but that’s exactly what our most powerful institutions are doing. Affirming a reality that doesn’t actually exist helps no one except self-righteous ideologues whose insatiable thirst for power and faux enlightenment are pursued at the expense of everyone else, including and especially the patients they “treat.”

The fallout is exactly what you’d expect — people are beginning to behave in predictably violent ways — most notably the aforementioned Annunciation Catholic School shooting and the shooting at a Nashville Christian school in 2023. As is the case with all school shootings, a percentage of onlookers struggling with similar mental problems will see these violent outbursts as their only option to settle the score. By embracing a distorted sense of reality and identifying heretics supposedly responsible for the suffering of so-called trans people, the left is doing what it does best: priming people to commit acts of violence to further a perverted ideology.

Democrats Demand “Assault Weapons” Ban After Trans Mass Shooting In Minneapolis

In the US, gun deaths are often the focus of progressive and international criticism, with claims that the nation is a wellspring of violence and murder that could be solved simply by banning firearms.  The disdain of the political left for the 2nd Amendment is no secret and their efforts to erase gun rights from the Constitution is a constant point of contention within American society.  

Of course, this means that Democrats are required to ignore every other contributing factor to any shooting and deflect when they are confronted with inconvenient truths.  Leftists are, once again, attempting to redirect public discourse as yet another trans shooter has hit the news feeds.  The Minneapolis killer is one of at least five active shooters since 2018 that were confirmed as transgender. 

Multiple other active shooter events have taken place in which the trans status of the killers was suspected but never revealed by authorities (authorities tried to hide Audrey Hale’s trans status and her manifesto, for example).

In the case of the Robert Westman, a male posing as a female, notes from a manifesto and other evidence indicates that the trans ideology was central to his decision to murder two children and injure 17 others at a Christian school.  It was the direct inspiration for the attack.

However, Democrat leaders and media figures like former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki argue otherwise.  They claim that the availability of “assault rifles” is the real cause, not the insane political philosophy that ruled over Westman’s every waking moment.  Psaki shed alligator tears for the children of the Church of the Annunciation, while simultaneously denying that the trans ideology had anything to do with it and blaming conservatives for not supporting a firearms ban.

Woke Politicization of Medicine: The Logical Flaws in Gender Dysphoria Diagnosis and Care

The medical establishment now draws a distinction between gender identity disorder, which it classifies as a mental disorder, and being transgender, which it insists is not. Official diagnostic manuals such as the DSM-5 and ICD-11 separate the issue into two categories:

  1. Gender dysphoria – distress caused by the incongruence between one’s experienced gender and assigned sex.
  2. Gender incongruence – a mismatch between identity and sex that may not cause distress.

The reasoning is that distress often comes not from the incongruence itself but from social rejection, discrimination, or lack of access to transition-related care. Advocates argue that once people transition and receive support, they may no longer feel distress.

This distinction, however, raises serious questions about consistency in medical diagnosis. In nearly every other psychiatric condition, the diagnosis is based on symptoms within the patient, not society’s response.

PTSD, for example, is defined by intrusive thoughts and hypervigilance, not by whether trauma survivors are stigmatized. Depression is diagnosed by changes in mood, sleep, or appetite.

Autism is based on communication and behavior, schizophrenia on delusions and hallucinations. In all these cases, the diagnosis is rooted in the individual, not in external acceptance or rejection.

Research shows that most people who seek gender-related medical care report distress and therefore meet the criteria for dysphoria.

The supposed separation between dysphoria and incongruence often creates confusion, barriers to care, and inconsistent diagnoses across different contexts.

By shifting the focus from internal symptoms to external social variables, psychiatry has departed from the standard medical model.

The War On Reality is Over

Unwittingly, that New York Times headline is a wondrous case of the self-solving mystery. You come here to understand the many social and political mysteries of the day. I will attempt to unravel this hairball.

Most obviously, the suspect, now dead, in Wednesday’s Minneapolis school shooting was not a “her.” He was a him, a 23-year-old male, Robert Westman, who had been pretending to be a female for some years since undergoing puberty, with the encouragement of his parents and the cultural leaders of his city, including Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, backed by the expressed principles of the national Democratic Party.

The essence of all that was a gigantic game of pretend, a broad and deliberate dissociation from reality for the purpose of maintaining a political racketeering operation, which is what the Democratic Party had become. Pretend that men can become women. Pretend that Covid vaccinations are safe and effective. Pretend that national borders don’t matter. Pretend that crime is not a social problem. Pretend that riots are mostly peaceful. Pretend that our elections are free and fair. Pretend that “Joe Biden” is president. Pretend that Ukraine is fighting for democracy. And so on. All pretend.

Mayor Frey Wept at Career Criminal George Floyd’s Funeral, Defended Catholic School Shooter

Video footage widely shared on social media showed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pausing at George Floyd’s casket during a memorial. He dropped to one knee, sobbed, and appeared to whisper something.

This display of grief for a career criminal stood in sharp contrast to his response after the August 27, 2025, shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where trans-identifying shooter Robin Westman killed two children and wounded 17 others.

Rather than focusing on the tragedy, Frey used the press conference to criticize Christians for praying and to voice support for the transgender community over alleged insults.

The murder of 19 innocent people, mostly children, as they prayed is a far greater loss than that of George Floyd. Court documents from Harris County, Texas, where Floyd lived most of his life, show he faced nine criminal charges, including three drug cases, two theft charges, trespassing, and aggravated robbery.

His most serious conviction came in 2007, when he and five accomplices forced their way into a woman’s apartment during an armed robbery. He served five years in prison for that crime.

Floyd ultimately died in 2020 after ingesting fentanyl and methamphetamine—substances that kill over 70,000 Americans each year—and resisting arrest for nearly 25 minutes.

The Hennepin County medical examiner reported “fentanyl intoxication” and “recent methamphetamine use” as contributing factors in his death, which was ruled a heart attack.

The person Frey defended, Robin Westman, left behind a manifesto and online posts filled with hatred and violent intent. Authorities are investigating the attack as both a hate crime and an act of domestic terrorism after uncovering extensive anti-Catholic and anti-Christian material.

Westman’s writings and videos revealed a fascination with mass violence. He idolized past killers such as Adam Lanza, Anders Behring Breivik, Brenton Tarrant, and Dylann Roof, often referencing them in posts, videos, and even on his weapons.

The shooter’s arsenal was marked with names of notorious mass murderers responsible for massacres at Sandy Hook, the Tree of Life Synagogue, and Christchurch mosques. In one 20-minute video, Westman repeatedly declared, “I can’t wait to kill and kill and kill,” alongside the refrain, “I fall apart, I break and I die.”

His weapons carried messages that underscored his extremist ideology. Firearms bore slogans such as “Where’s your God now?” and “Kill Donald Trump.” Magazines carried antisemitic and Holocaust denial phrases including, “6 million wasn’t enough.”

A smoke grenade was inscribed with “Jew Gas,” alongside the declaration “Israel must fall” and “Free Palestine.” Other weapons carried phrases like “psycho killer” and “suck on this.”

The manifesto opened with the words, “I don’t expect forgiveness … I do apologize for the effects my actions will have on your lives.”

Later, he admitted, “I have wanted this for so long. I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person, haunted by these thoughts that do not go away… I am severely depressed and have been suicidal for years. Only recently have I lost all hope and decided to perform my final action against this world.”

The writings also revealed an obsession with killing children and a belief that school shootings were the “awful slaughter of innocents” he most admired.

Denver School Accused Of Violating Title IX Over All-Gender Restrooms

The Education Department said on Thursday that Denver Public Schools violated Title IX, the law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in schools, by converting sex-separated restrooms into “all-gender” facilities.

The department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) also found that the school district violated the law by allowing students to use intimate facilities matching their gender identity rather than their biological sex.

The finding followed an OCR investigation into Denver’s East High School earlier this year after it converted a girls’ restroom into a multi-stall all-gender facility. The agency said the school had an exclusive restroom for males on its second floor but none for females.

The school district has said that the all-gender lavatory, which has 12-foot partitions between stalls, was created as the result of a student-led process.

The school district later created a second all-gender restroom on the same floor as the first.

However, OCR said the district’s actions did not resolve its Title IX violation “because males are still allowed to invade sensitive female-only facilities.” The agency cited a complaint from a female student who said that “boys kept staring at her, looking her up and down, kind of taunting her” when using the bathroom, which left her “very uncomfortable.”

Another complainant alleged that a male teacher frequently entered the restroom “to check on things,” which made female students uncomfortable and raised privacy concerns, according to the agency.

“Denver is free to endorse a self-defeating gender ideology, but it is not free to accept federal taxpayer funds and harm its students in violation of Title IX,” acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor stated, noting that the district had created “a hostile environment” for its students by endangering their safety and privacy.

OCR offered the school district a 10-day window to voluntarily make changes or risk enforcement action, though it did not specify what actions could be taken in the event of noncompliance.

The school district is required within that timeframe to convert all gender-neutral restrooms back to sex-designated restrooms and rescind any policies that allowed access to facilities based on gender identity.

OCR also directed the school district to adopt biology-based definitions for the words “male” and “female” in all Title IX-related policies and practices, according to its statement.

Denver Public Schools officials said they had received the results of the OCR investigation and were determining their next steps.

America Has A “Transtifa” Problem 

At the start of the year, only eight days into President Trump’s second term, the FBI’s counterterrorism division held an unclassified briefing on an emerging domestic terrorism threat: “Nihilistic Accelerationism.”

Some of the most recent examples of nihilism and accelerationist beliefs can be found alarmingly emanating from the political far-left. Violence, chaos, and destruction are recurring themes found in their online posts, propaganda, manifestos, and civil disobedience (also known as “civil terrorism“). 

Take, for example, the transgender mass shooter last week that carried out a horrific attack against Christians at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis, killing two children and injuring 17 others before taking his own life, wrote in a dark, troubling manifesto posted online that he was “tired of being trans.”

A literal monster.

Self-proclaimed investor and “CIA/NSA contractor/whistleblower” Tony Seruga wrote on X that the demonic transgender mass shooter had attended “at least five antifa protests” and “also appeared to have been present with several Zizians.” Seruga made this claim using GPS data.

Minneapolis Shooter’s Mother Not Speaking To Police

The mother of the man who killed two children at a Minneapolis church and school and left 18 other people wounded is not speaking to authorities, the city’s police chief said on Aug. 28.

“We have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother yet at this time,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told a briefing.

The shooter, who killed himself after firing more than 100 rounds during Mass into Annunciation Church and School on Aug. 27, has been identified as Robin Westman, a male who identified as female.

Westman previously attended the school and has attended Mass there, officials said.

Mary Grace Westman, the mother, worked at the parish in the past, O’Hara said.

The church, in a 2021 Facebook post that it has since deleted, posted a picture of Mary Westman and said that it had honored her as she was retiring after working there for five years.

“She has provided such wonderful hospitality, friendship and compassion to all who gathered,” the post stated.

Ryan Garry, a defense attorney, said he has been retained by Mary Westman.

“She is completely distraught about the situation and has no culpability but is seeking an attorney to deal with calls like this,” Garry told Fox News.

Garry did not respond to a request for more information by publication time.

O’Hara said that law enforcement has conducted dozens of interviews with others, including relatives, friends, and associates of Robin Westman.

Authorities have also carried out search warrants at three residences in or near Minneapolis that are connected to the shooter. They’re not sure yet at which residence he was staying immediately prior to the shooting.

There is no sign yet of an event that triggered the shooting, they said.

MSNBC Panel Talks Banning All Firearms After Trans Shooter Targets Catholic School: ‘Do What Australia Did’

When modern liberals casually reveal their true authoritarian natures, believe them.

They did it during the COVID scare, when they embraced lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates. And they do it in the wake of every mass shooting.

Rarely, however, do they go as far as journalist Mike Spies of the anti-gun outlet The Trace.

Wednesday on MSNBC, Spies appeared in a round table discussion with host Katy Tur and others. Earlier in the day, a transgender murderer had opened fire at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, killing two children and injuring 17.

Thus, the panelists discussed the shooting and how to prevent such violence moving forward. Naturally — this being MSNBC — they focused on the weapons and not the mental-health crisis at the root of transgender ideology.

“You have to be honest and say what will actually work, which is what nobody wants to hear, which is that there are just simply way too many firearms, and they are way too accessible,” Spies said.

“And they’re too powerful?” Tur asked.

“And they’re too powerful,” Spies replied, “even handguns too. Again, that’s why in Australia — it doesn’t matter if it’s not politically acceptable to say it. I’m not here as a politician or anyone who works in politics. I’m a journalist — whether or not you like it, the only thing that really works, if you really wanted to bring down gun violence, was to do what Australia did and to do what many other countries in Europe do.”

Trans activist arrested for fatal shooting of Massachusetts man had machete assault charges dropped last month

A trans activist in Massachusetts was accused of fatally shooting a man after the victim confronted the activist for spray-painting. The suspect had previous assault charges dismissed after being repeatedly committed for psychiatric evaluations.

Snehal A. Srivastava, who went by “Sasha,” is accused of carrying out a shooting on August 28, allegedly gunning down a 56-year-old man who confronted him over graffiti. The victim was shot multiple times after walking his 6-year-old child to school.

Srivastava was ordered held without bail on Friday.

Court and police records show that Srivastava had a violent history prior to the shooting. According to the Telegram & Gazette, in September 2022, Westborough police said the suspect seriously injured a man with a machete in a movie theater parking lot. The victim told police that Srivastava circled him while he was in a car, prompting him to get out and confront Srivastava. A fight ensued, during which Srivastava cut the man’s hand with a machete before fleeing.

Srivastava was later arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct, and mayhem. Srivastava was initially held without bail and sent for a competency evaluation. In October 2022, Srivastava was released on $5,000 bail with a tracking device. Another warrant was issued five months later, leading to another competency evaluation.

In August 2023, Srivastava was held again after an alleged probation violation, and another competency hearing was ordered. The suspect was released in October 2023 under partial home confinement and required to follow court-ordered treatment plans.
