Abstract

On 27 March 2023, Aiden Hale broke into the Covenant School, a private Christian academy in Nashville, TN, and killed three students and three staff members. Hale, a former student at the school, was transgender. Although assigned female at birth, Hale identified as male, asked to be called by a male name, and used he/him pronouns. In the aftermath of the shooting, a newfound wave of anti-trans rhetoric soared, once again putting members of the transgender community in harm’s way. In this article, we review the details of the Covenant School shooting and consider them in the context of the anti-trans movement in the United States, a movement that has escalated as transgender people have become more visible and more vocal in society. We then present findings from an extensive content analysis of newspaper coverage in the two weeks following the shooting (27 March–10 April). In so doing, we add to the literature on K-12 school shootings and gender studies, specifically stigma towards the transgender community.

圣约学校枪击案:媒体报道和变性人群体的反弹
2023 年 3 月 27 日,艾登-黑尔(Aiden Hale)闯入田纳西州纳什维尔的一所私立基督教学院--圣约学校,杀害了三名学生和三名教职员工。黑尔曾是该校学生,是一名变性人。虽然出生时被分配为女性,但黑尔认为自己是男性,要求别人用男性的名字称呼他,并使用他/他代词。枪击事件发生后,新一轮反变性人的言论激增,再次将变性人群体置于危险境地。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了圣约学校枪击案的细节,并在美国反变性人运动的背景下对其进行了思考,随着变性人在社会中变得更加引人注目、更加敢于发声,反变性人运动也在不断升级。随后,我们对枪击案发生后两周(3 月 27 日至 4 月 10 日)的报纸报道进行了广泛的内容分析,并展示了分析结果。在此过程中,我们对有关 K-12 学校枪击案和性别研究,特别是对变性人群体的污名化的文献进行了补充。
