"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."
"I regret being trans I wish I was a girl I just know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we have today. I also can't afford that. The shooter also reportedly wrote about being drawn to anthropomorphic animals due to feelings of self-loathing. I like feeling sexy and cute but my face never matches how I feel. I hate my face, Westman confessed. Maybe that's why I like furries so much. You can give yourself a new body and face."
NBC News issued a correction after using the wrong pronoun for Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman, who identified as a transgender woman. Westman had a district court-approved name change from Robert to Robin in 2020. The shooter's journal, translated by the New York Post from Russian Cyrillic, contained entries expressing regret about being transgender, frustration with bodily limitations and financial barriers to transition, and draws to anthropomorphic animals tied to self-loathing. Westman carried out a church shooting that killed two children and injured more than a dozen others, then died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
