Liberal media bends over backward to avoid ‘misgendering’ gunman who murdered kids in church

Trans-identifying degenerates have carried out or attempted to carry out a number of mass shootings in recent years.

For instance, in March 2023, a trans-identifying woman stormed into a Presbyterian elementary school in Nashville and murdered three 9-year-old children — Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, and Hallie Scruggs — and three adults — teacher Cynthia Peak, custodian Mike Hill, and head of school Katherine Koonce.

‘She identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.’

In April 2024, a male-identifying woman planned to shoot up an elementary school and a high school in Maryland but was thankfully stopped in time by police, then later convicted.

The liberal media has consistently used used the preferred pronouns of these and other murderous trans-identifying criminals in an apparent effort to coddle the offenders and to placate LGBT activists.

A trans-identifying man formerly known as Robert Westman shot up a Catholic church full of children in Minneapolis on Wednesday, injuring 17 and killing two kids, ages 8 and 10. After the shooter was revealed to be a so-called “transgender,” the media once again feverishly rushed to accommodate and reinforce this delusion.

CNN talking head Jake Tapper noted on his show that the gunman’s mother “applied to change her child’s name in 2019. It was at one point Robert Paul Westman.”

“But since she identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification, was underage, it’s now Robin Westman,” continued Tapper, faithfully employing the killer’s preferred pronouns.

While Newsweek initially referred to the shooter using male pronouns, it updated its article on the gunman, referring to him as a “her.” The Daily Mail went the distance, using both she and her pronouns in reference to the dead man.

‘If you’ve noticed, they are misgendering and dead-naming the murderer.’

In a section that has since been scrubbed, the Washington Post referred to the shooter as Mary Westman’s “daughter” — a term the publication Le Monde also used in reference to Mary Westman’s murderous son — and called the gunman a “she.” The Post later added that the gunman was “assigned male at birth.”

While the Independent dared to call Westman a “he,” it similarly referred to the trans-identified shooter as a plurality, using the possessive pronoun “their.”

The New Republic and the Guardian both opted to avoid male pronouns although the former noted that Westman “shot themself in the back of the church” and the latter stated that Westman “killed themself.”

When several liberal publications correctly referred to the trans-identifying female shooter behind the Covenant School massacre in 2023 as a woman, James Kirchick, a contributing writer to the New York Times, aped out, telling Bill Maher, “If you’ve noticed, they are misgendering and dead-naming the murderer. Right? They are referring to the murderer by their given name, not their chosen name … referring to her as a woman, as opposed to what her identity apparently was — was a man.”

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears weighed in, telling Maher and the liberal writer, “Hang on, you know what: This person murdered six people. I don’t really care who you say you are. You murdered six people, and three of them were children.”

“You don’t get a say,” continued Earle-Sears, noting that’s a forgone conclusion in this case because “she’s dead now, so you know.”
