Sick t-shirts bearing the face of Minneapolis church killer Robin Westman and the phrase “Protect Trans Kids” are being hawked online for $22.99.
The anonymous seller claimed in the description of the item on wildfoxtee.com that Westman, who was trans, was “an old friend” who “always fights for what’s right.”
Westman killed two children and injured 18 parishioners after opening fire Wednesday at the Church of Annunciation in Minneapolis.
The seller claimed they were just “scrolling through the news” when they learned what Westman, who committed suicide after the mass shooting, had done.
“A story about this kid, just a kid, who was facing…well, just facing the world. And it hit me, really -hit- me, how much courage it takes to just be yourself,” the seller wrote.
“It made me think about all the kids out there, the trans kids, and the battles they fight, just to be seen. And, honestly, it made me feel…I don’t know, just a bit helpless. But then I thought, maybe there’s something small I -could- do. Something to show support,” the item description continued.
Westman wrote he was feeling “tired of being trans” in a disturbing handwritten journal shared on YouTube.
“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,” Westman wrote in a homespun code of Russian Cyrillic script and English words, according to a translation by The Post.
The twisted t-shirts drew outrage on X Saturday, with one person commenting, “Why does the left always support the criminals?”
