Pediatric "gender center" whistleblower Jamie Reed tore apart the affirmative narrative following the Minneapolis mass shooting Wednesday at Annunciation Catholic School by a “transgender murderer” that left two children dead and more than a dozen others injured.
Speaking to Fox News' Jesse Watters on "Jesse Watters Primetime," Reed, who said she "participated in medicalizing young people for almost five years," said what she saw was that they weren't helping kids but were actually doing the exact opposite.

"What I saw was that we were harming these kids," Reed said. "They were not getting better. Often, their mental health was getting worse."
"We were tearing apart families," she added. "And we also have to recognize that gender ideology tears apart other facets of our social, of our society. It tears at sports, and families, and safety for women, and safety for families and kids."
"And so the ideology as a whole, to me, became something that I was participating in harming the exact same patients my job was supposed to protect," Reed continued. "To make them better. I was making them worse."
As my RedState colleague Sister Toldjah reported, a gunman opened fire on innocent kids and adults attending mass at the church on the campus on Wednesday morning, which left two children dead and injured 17 other people, 14 of those being children.
More horrific details.

Annunciation Church has a Catholic school attached—preschool through eighth grade, with over 320 students.
Initial reports suggest the all-school mass was underway when the shooting began.

A short time later, RedState's Teri Christoph provided an update that read:
As RedState reported earlier Wednesday, the perpetrator of the mass shooting has been identified as 23-year-old Robert Westman, who legally changed his name to the more feminine "Robin" at the request of his mother when he was still a minor. Westman appears to have left a treasure trove of incriminating evidence, including a long video posted to his YouTube page in which he thumbs through his "manifesto" and shows the camera his cache of weapons, many marked with far-left slogans.
After news broke about the "transgender" murderer, the Democrat Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, rushed to defend the transgender community, as my RedState colleague Bonchie reported.
Jacob Frey just doubled down on saying that you are a bad person if you point out the school shooter is trans:

"Anybody that is going to use this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any community has lost touch with common humanity," Frey told CNN, claiming it's a matter of "operating out of love for our children."
Frey's argument is the same one that's been used for years to justify the insanity of the gender ideology push that has led to so much harm.
