It’s set in the early 1980s, in a mining town on the dusty edge of nowhere where a ramshackle establishment, something like a bordello in a spaghetti western, is run by a small LGBTQ+ community. By day, they serve up food to worn-out, dust-covered miners; by night, cabaret is performed in drag. The club is also raising a child, 11-year-old Lidia (Tamara Cortes), who was abandoned on the doorstep as a baby (possibly by parents who saw how well the club looks after its own).

A district court gave approval for the shooter's name to be changed from Robert to Robin in 2020, acknowledging that Westman identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification. According to the New York Post, which translated Russian Cyrillic writing in the shooter's journal, Westman expressed regret about being transgender ahead of the attack. 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, wrote Westman, according to the Post.
You know, 96% of attackers when you're looking at the US Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center, looking at 172 mass attacks in the US between 2016 and 2020 96% were non-trans men, Keilar said. So I know you're focusing on this shooter being trans. The shooter was trans and that is certainly of note.
