Medical organizations that have backed irreversible transgender procedures on kids are facing pressure after a transgender-identifying man murdered two children and injured 18 others at a Catholic school in Minnesota on Wednesday.

The shooter who attacked the school was identified as “Robin” Westman, a 23-year-old man who started identifying as female as a minor. Westman, who previously went by Robert, left behind a series of writings that described his regret in identifying as transgender, exhibited a hatred of Christians and Jews, and a desire to kill young kids. He killed himself after spraying bullets into a group of students gathered for a Mass.

Portions of Westman’s journal, which were scribbled in a mix of Russian Cyrillic script and English, were translated by the New York Post and revealed his dark thoughts as he struggled with his transgender identity.

“I only keep [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 reportedly wrote.

In another section of his journal, Westman reportedly wrote, “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.”

Westman’s journal entries cast doubt on the assertions of many major medical organizations that have claimed that regret rates for those who attempt to change their sex are incredibly low. The shooting came as Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro released leaked footage on Tuesday and Wednesday showing American Medical Association President Bobby Mukkamala and an “expert” endorsed by the org claiming that very few people regret “transitioning.”

“The shooter was a transgender regret case,” Shapiro posted Friday on X. “The day before this shooting, we exposed the American Medical Association’s negligence on regret data. The morning of, we exposed the AMA’s ‘trans expert’ admitting there’s no true psychiatric assessment done before transing a kid.”

The footage published this week by Shapiro showed both Mukkamala and Dr. Jesse Krikorian, a transgender-identifying woman offered up as an expert by the American Medical Association, claiming that about just 2% of people regret undergoing transgender procedures. They made those claims in two separate conversations with Michigan Republican state Rep. Brad Paquette.

The 2% regret rate comes from a study that only measured regret after surgery, not the tens of thousands of kids who have been placed on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones. It also did not measure regret beyond two years after the initial surgery. The study also had an extremely high drop-out rate of almost 40%, making the data practically meaningless.

Shapiro said that Westman’s disturbing journal entries should be shown to leadership of the American Medical Association.

“The AMA must stop endorsing the process of having mentally ill young people meet with woke, affirmation-driven social workers and put on a medical transition path that can never actually change their sex,” Shapiro said on X.

The call was echoed by billionaire Elon Musk, who retweeted Shapiro’s thread and wrote “yes” in response to the post. Musk has told The Daily Wire that he was once “tricked” into approving so-called gender-affirming care for his child, and described his son as “killed by the woke mind virus.”

Lawmakers are also calling for an end to pushing kids down the transgender pipeline.

House GOP Whip Tom Emmer told the New York Post on Thursday that Democrat politicians in his home state like Governor Tim Walz had encouraged mental illness by making Minnesota a “refuge” for parents seeking to have their children undergo transgender procedures.

“They have been encouraging this type of confusion. This poor young man was tortured. He clearly had serious mental health issues and rather than actually helping him, they were actually exacerbating it,” he said. “You look at the sadness of these tortured human beings — because they do have regrets later — and no, we should have never started it. It should not be allowed.”

With the 10-year anniversary of The Daily Wire coming up, it’s a good time for reflection and celebration for all we’ve accomplished. Some of the company’s proudest moments came in the form of product launches, or more specifically, product offering alternatives for customers who were fed up with supporting companies who hated them.

We took a giant gamble, and so far, it’s been working beautifully. 

It started with a razor.

Back in 2021, Harry’s Razors decided Daily Wire audiences weren’t the kind of customers they wanted anymore. After years of advertising on our shows, Harry’s abruptly pulled the plug over what they called a “values misalignment” after Michael Knowles shared “homophobic and transphobic content” on his show. 

All it took was one outraged leftist making some noise, and they snapped like…. well, like a cheap plastic razor.

Most companies would’ve grumbled and moved on. But that’s not The Daily Wire way of doing things. “Fine. I’ll start my own razor company,” Jeremy Boreing wrote on X at the time, and then, he did. In March 2022, Jeremy’s Razors was born, complete with what became known as “The Greatest Commercial Ever.”

That ad went mega viral, racking up tens of millions of views. Within days, tens of thousands of Americans subscribed. Within a year, Jeremy’s Razors had over 100,000 active members, shipping grooming kits, aftershave, and even expanding into soaps and household goods. Fast-forward to today, the brand is celebrating milestones left and right, including:

This wasn’t just a protest. It was proof that conservatives weren’t just complaining about woke corporations. We were building alternatives, and they were working. If we could conquer the cutthroat personal care market, what came next?

That answer, of course, was chocolate.

In March 2023, Hershey’s rolled out a Women’s History Month campaign featuring a biological male as the face of its chocolate bar. Riding the momentum of the massive razor success and knowing conservatives were hungry for woke-free alternatives, Jeremy posted another announcement.

“Fine. I’ll do it. Introducing Jeremy’s Chocolate. We have two kinds: HeHim and SheHer. One of them has nuts. If you need me to tell you which one, keep buying Hershey’s. But if you know what a woman is and love chocolate, go to: ihatehersheys.com,” his X post said.

What started as kind of a joke became another success. Within days, Jeremy’s Chocolate sold over half a million bars, amounting to more than 35 tons of chocolate shipped nationwide.

The symbolism was irresistible: candy without the lectures, treats without corporate pandering. Once again, it wasn’t just a business move, it was a cultural statement. It was proof that conservatives aren’t willing to compromise their morals when they’re presented with high-quality alternatives. 

And once again, Daily Wire members were the ones who made it all happen.

That’s the common theme for all these company wins: none of this works without you. Members didn’t just buy razors and chocolate bars. They cast votes with their wallets, saying loud and clear, “We’ll support companies that respect us.”

Because of that support, Jeremy’s isn’t just a parody, it’s a force to be reckoned with. Razors, chocolate, cleaning supplies, hand soap… the catalog keeps growing, and we keep winning. What started as a cheeky stance against woke brands has turned into a serious market contender.

So we’re here to celebrate, and to say a heartfelt thank you to every member who shaved with a Jeremy’s blade, or unwrapped a Jeremy’s chocolate bar. By shopping here, you proved something bigger than the products themselves. You proved that the free market can still be free from woke madness. 

Thank you.
