We noted on Labor Day that the Minneapolis Catholic school killer was ‘transgender,’ a mentally ill male who thought that he was a girl. In accordance with our Stylebook, we referred to him properly, using his birth name and masculine pronouns in all references, though, as is our policy, we did not change the direct quotations of others. NBC News did the same, at first, but then fell right in line and simped right along with the rest of the #woke:[1]From Wikipedia:
Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading
NBC Issues Correction After Using ‘the Wrong Pronoun’ for Mass Shooter: ‘She Used Female Pronouns’
by Charlie Nash | Tuesday, September 2, 2025 | 7:31 AM EDT
NBC News issued a correction on Friday after the news outlet used “the wrong pronoun” for Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman, who killed two children and left over a dozen others injured during a shooting at a church last week.
“CORRECTION (Aug. 29, 2025, 8:05 a.m. ET): A previous version of this article used the wrong pronoun for the shooter. She used female pronouns,” read the correction notice added to an article written by four reporters for the outlet.
The article had previously referred to Westman – who identified as a transgender woman – with male pronouns.
There’s a bit more at the original.
In other words, NBC News originally told the truth, but had to issue a correction of it!
One of those four reporters, Erik Ortiz, is listed in the ending biography as “a senior reporter for NBC News Digital focusing on racial injustice and social inequality.” No wonder that there are elements of being ‘woke’ in it!
Robert Westman — and we dislike using his name at all, as it gives the now-deceased cretin publicity — had gone to court, supported by his mother, to change his name to “Robin,” saying that he then identified as a female. The New York Post reported that Mr Westman regretted a lot:
In a twisted handwritten journal he shared on YouTube before the massacre — much of which is encrypted in a homespun code of Russian Cyrillic script and English words — Westman groaned about his long hair and his decision to transition.
“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,” he wrote, according to a translation by The Post.
“I can’t cut my hair now as it would be an embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack.” . . . .
“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,” he said. . . . .
“I like feeling sexy and cute but my face never matches how I feel. I hate my face… maybe that’s why I like furries so much. You can give yourself a new body and face. I want to be that black face mask on Beyonce’s body lmao!”
Somehow, some way, even the very mentally ill Mr Westman realized that he really wasn’t a girl and could never be a girl. He realized that, at best, he could be a simulacrum of a woman, but an ugly one. Few real women have Beyonce’s figure — or Sydney Sweeney’s, to note last month’s fixation that has so many on the left outraged — and the best that most of the ‘transgender women’ can achieve with facial feminization surgery is a clownlike appearance.
Mr Westman “wish(ed he) was a girl”, but realized that he wasn’t. How many of these guys who really, really wish they were girls picture themselves as girls who look like Sophie Cunningham, picture themselves like that, without realizing that most real girls would like to look like Miss Cunningham as well, that most girls are simply average.
Yet NBC News, ostensibly populated by sane and sensible people, can’t realize what the very insane Mr Westman finally did, that wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’ Plannin’ and dreamin’ he was a girl didn’t make him a girl. Is it any wonder that Americans’ trust in the credentialed media is at its lowest point in five decades?

I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid. |
