Transgender mass shooter Robin Westman confessed that he “was tired of being trans” and wished he “never brain-washed” himself in a manifesto posted online before he slaughtered two children and wounded 18 more at a Minneapolis church.
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.
7 Robin Westman opened fire on the Annunciation Catholic Church and School Wednesday morning.Obtained by NY 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.”
Westman, 23, later wrote that he regretted being trans and just wished he were a girl.
“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.
The unhinged shooter also expressed feelings of self-loathing.
“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!”
Westman opened fire on the Annunciation Catholic Church and School Wednesday morning while students were praying at Mass, killing two kids and wounding 18 others before taking his own life.

The petition noted that Westman “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”
Here is the latest on the mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school: But, five years later, he seemed to have shrunk away from his new identity, scribbling on another page of the notebook “I don’t want to dress girly all the time but I guess sometimes I really like it.
I know I am not a woman but I definitely don’t feel like a man.”
The cowardly killings, coupled with the revelation that Westman identified as transgender, reignited a hot-button debate as Minneapolis’ lefty mayor Jacob Frey wagged his finger at news outlets for even reporting it.
“I have heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community,” Frey told reporters Wednesday.

Audrey Hale, a trans woman, murdered three children and three staffers in a shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, Tenn.in March 2023.

Kennedy, Jr.announced a probe by the National Institutes of Health to determine whether drugs Westman was taking during his transition could have played a “role” in his depraved violence.
“We are launching studies into their potential contribution,” he said in a response to a question on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” about Hale.
Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer on Thursday revealed exclusively to The Post that he was calling for the state to repeal its “trans refuge law,” a 2023 piece of legislation signed by Democratic Gov.Tim Walz which blocks out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants and extradition requests for those who travel to the state for sex-change surgeries or hormone treatments.

Despite these links and incidents, however, a critical, nationwide debate about the highly controversial topic has never occurred.
Westman’s chilling writings revealed his violent fantasies about killing children, including wanting to be the “scary horrible monster standing over those powerless kids.” He also glorifies the Sandy Hook massacre, in which 20 schoolchildren were killed.
Westman’s videos, posted hours before the shootings, also show the phrases “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines.
His notebook also showed how he had specifically targeted Annunciation Catholic Church and School, where he graduated from grade school in 2017.
His mother, Mary Grace Westman, spent five years working as a secretary at the school until she retired in 2021.
Westman started shooting through the church’s stained glass windows with a rifle, shotgun and pistol around 8:30 a.m.while schoolchildren and parents were praying.
He bought the weapons legally, authorities confirmed.Two students were killed “where they sat” in their pews, while 18 others were injured, some critically, police said..
