Minneapolis学校的枪击造成两名儿童死亡;媒体关注枪手的性别认同,尽管与暴力没有任何联系。 A Minneapolis school shooting killed two children; media focused on shooter’s gender identity despite no link to violence.

2025年8月27日,明尼阿波利斯的一所学校发生大规模枪击事件,造成两名儿童死亡,18人受伤,枪手是23岁的跨性别女性罗宾·韦斯特曼,她因自杀而死亡. A mass shooting at a Minneapolis school on August 27, 2025, left two children dead and 18 injured, with the shooter, 23-year-old transgender woman Robin Westman, dying by suicide. 右翼媒体和一些主流媒体在报道中强调她的性别认同,尽管没有证据表明性别认同与枪支暴力有关,但往往错误地将她的性别认同纳入报道,并宣传未经核实的将她与反Trump情绪联系起来的主张。 Right-wing and some mainstream media outlets emphasized her gender identity in coverage, often misgendering her and promoting unverified claims linking her to anti-Trump sentiments, despite no evidence connecting gender identity to gun violence. 批评者认为焦点会助长反向恐惧症, 并转移对系统性枪支暴力的注意力, 枪支暴力仍是造成美国未成年人死亡的主要原因。 Critics argue the focus fuels transphobia and distracts from systemic gun violence, which remains the leading cause of death among U.S. minors. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey 等官员强烈反对替罪羊, 媒体叙事常常与这些呼声相矛盾, While officials like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey urged against scapegoating, media narratives frequently contradicted those calls, reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
