"FBI Director Kash Patel said the shooter was “a male” born under a different first name.
The suspect’s parent had filed for a legal name change to “Robin M Westman” in Dakota County in November 2019. The application was granted in January 2020, when Westman was 17, after a hearing."
I would still say that means nothing, people sometimes don’t vibe with their names. Hell my great grandfather vibed with his nickname so much that I legit thought his name was Stew, it was not Stew his first name was Willard. I can change my last name no questions asked but as soon as someone changes their first name that’s when it’s weird.
That’s not even getting into pseudonyms, I’ve been calling myself Vault online for years and I introduce myself as Beowulf to people I don’t want knowing my actual name.
“Westman’s name was legally changed from Robert to Robin in 2020, Minnesota court records show. In the application the judge wrote: “Minor child identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.””
