Looks like it was a man in a dress. Another tragedy. More lives lost. Boys with violent tendencies cannot be told they are actually girls. The violent background of trans activism is a problem.

BREAKING

The identity of the Tumbler Ridge shooter can now be confirmed as Jesse “Jess” Strang.

Strang is a biological male who started to “identify” as a "girl" around 2023.

Strang was raised in a family that valued hunting, and began learning how to shoot rifles when he was just a child. Many guns were kept in the family's residence.

Facebook posts from his mother indicate he may have struggled with behavioral issues, including violent tendencies, from a very young age.

Strang fatally shot 10 people prior to taking his own life.

In 2021, Strang launched a YouTube channel that was promoted by his mother on her Facebook. The channel was dedicated to "hunting, self-reliance, guns" and his other interests. At some point, Strang deleted the content on the channel and changed his handle from "Jesse Boy" to "JessJessUwU." The only remaining post on the channel was made 6 months ago and reads "I've been pretty, um, aimless."

It was Cosmin Dzsurdzsa and Juno News that broke the story it was a trans killer. It spread on X and it was soon picked up by Reduxx. As seen at the start of this thread.

The news was then spread by Western Standard a larger conservative Canadian newsite. See their news report here. Note time stamp:
https://www.westernstandard.news/news/breaking-at-least-7-dead-25-injured-after-female-shooter-opens-fire-in-tumbler-ridge/71081

Interestingly as the news spread on X the next mainstream outlets to share it looks to be Indian media like the Times of India.

Cosmin Dzsurdzsa

If it weren’t for X and elonmusk enabling the spread of independent journalism like what we do at junonewscom
, we wouldn’t know about Jesse Strang at all. When I reached out to Jesse Strang’s immediate family last night, I genuinely didn’t expect anyone to reply, let alone his uncle confirming both his identity as the shooter and that he was transgender.

I reached out because that’s what basic journalism demands: verification through primary sources. That used to be standard practice. It was the only thing I could do while the police refused to verify basic details about the killer's identity.

Now, nearly 24 hours after this horrific attack, establishment media outlets are still pretending they don’t know what everyone else and their grandma already does. To their discredit, they refuse to report the killer’s identity because it complicates their preferred narrative around the trans movement.

Instead of informing the public, they’re protecting a shooter’s preferred sensibilities in service of an ideology. Legacy media has chosen activism over responsibility. They would rather people live in a fiction than force an uncomfortable conversation or admit inconvenient truths.

Whilst there is filth on X, the reason politicians and legacy media want it shut down is because it is a lot harder to control the narrative.

I don't even think that news sites should be using phrases such as "identified as a woman". I'm not the first person to point this out, but there's no difference between "identifies as" and "pretends to be". He might have identified as Napoleon, or as a sausage dog, but there's no reason for any respectable news organisation to pander to that. The killer was a man, plain and simple. You don't need to say any more than that.

When or if the focus of disaffected youths shifts from Trans to Furries, will there be reports that "the killer is a 6 foot tall vampire wolf"

I think a couple of terms used upthread:

MDD = Major Depressive Disorder

Cluster B = Personality Disorders -

Key traits include chronic mood instability, self-centeredness, attention-seeking, and a lack of regard for safety or social norms, often resulting in chaotic relationships and destructive actions.

I looked at bbc last night and it did say that killer was born male and identified as female. Tbh the thing i found most disturbing was the way the victims were described. 'Adult female, 39'. It sounds so clinical and cold. Whats wrong with saying 'a 39yo woman'?

I get the impression that Nth American police started using word 'female' to avoid having to choose between 'woman'/'girl' and maybe even 'lady'.

I've grown to not mind it, I see that it is functional and useful, so a police officer saying 'Adult female, 39' seems OK to me.

But I'd expect a journalist to use a wider choice of language than cop-speak, and say 'a 39 year old woman'.

midgetastic · 12/02/2026 09:06

I think you do need to say more
because it is pointing out the obvious- that transgender has a lot of overlap with metal health problems and at the moment it is not treated that way which is absolutely awful for all

@RedToothBrush I agree broadly but I do wonder if some of these cases autism has been misdiagnosed..some elements are outwardly similar to developing psychopathy. I.e. appearing aloof, not interested in friendships, disregard for rules. Autistic individuals often lack cognitive empathy so can upset people unintentionally and struggle to grasp social conventions. Psychopaths do so deliberately because it's about control.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if even the witness's testimonies were edited to ensure being on message with pronouns.

Orwellian. Bring it all down, so damaging to women and children.

Lalgarh · 12/02/2026 09:02

Ugh dont derail this I to trump chat there's plenty other threads for that.

(And don't make any assumptions on his sexuality from what's rumoured about "bubba")..

How about "his mother"? Normally if someone writes about "Mum" they're talking about their own mother, given that it's weird to use affectionate diminutives for anyone else's mother. The exception tends to lie with professional people discussing a child, when they refer to the child's mother as "Mum" because they can't be bothered to remember her name.

I will use the words I feel comfortable with thanks.

He is 18, so he 'transitioned' at 12 - not implausible at all, given how schools are so willing to change names, pronouns, oblige teachers and students to go along with the new gender identity; presumably even moreso in Canada.

Is it significant that the children he killed, including his stepbrother, were all around the age he transitioned at - 11, 12 and 13?

A gender-confused 12 year old deserves loving support to accept who he is, not sold a lie about being able to change his sex.

There was a Canadian woman trying to get her school district to slightly modify their "humans can actually change sex" teachings for her 6-8(?) year old girl. (Around the same time as the State was ruling on a scrotum wax being a female beauty treatment) Ironically her girl was confused and upset by the school teaching her the idea that she could change to "become" a boy.

The mother was being fought all the way and was beginning the process of having to suing at the State level so I would say the Canadian school system is captured on transgendeism policy.

ThreeWordHarpy · 12/02/2026 08:58

So, it’s becoming clear that this was a young man with a long history of various mental health issues. A classic example of the phenomenon of being trans because he was “vulnerable”, and not “vulnerable” because he was trans.

As such, the Canadian authorities determination to use this young man’s preferred identity completely obscures the real reason for the shooting. This was not a very rare shooting by a young woman, as many people will think after mainstream media headlines. This was the latest in an endless line of shootings by deeply disturbed young men. It’s utterly enraging that even in death he is controlling the narrative and dominating over his victims.

But you said "he believes women should conform to gender stereotypes?"

I think that's a very north American thing TBF. I hate hearing women described as 'females' unless I'm in a biology lesson.

I'm not sure that is even true, Yes, his wife presents in a stereotypically, glamorous 'feminine way' and he is obviously heterosexual, but his closest aide ( Susie Wyles) is female, as are many of his senior colleagues. His daughter was also a key advisory figure for him.

Shall we start taking bets on the likelihood that it comes out in time that this person was also on the austism spectrum? I'd put my house on it.

nicepotoftea · 12/02/2026 08:47

Trump is a gender Conservative. He believes women should conform to gender stereotypes (“I’ve never seen you smile” ugh!). He just knows people can’t change sex and he can use this issue to own the libs.

Abhannmor · 12/02/2026 08:55

I have a family member who has become a full on conspiracy head since the COVID Lockdowns. The flat out lying by so much of the media on this issue is meat and drink to him of course. You can't trust the mainstream media he says.

And this crap confirms it for him. So it's back to YouTube podcasters who tell him stuff he wants to be true. Sigh.

It is an informal term, for certain...but why is "mum" patronising?

Edited

I think there has been a misunderstanding of the use of ‘mum’. Here it is short for ‘the mother’ but I think the assumption is that it has been used in the ‘would mum like a cup of tea’ sense when it is used instead of ‘you’ or a name.

I just read an article in the guardian and my jaw dropped when I read that it was an 18 year old woman. Wow, I thought, how surprising. But then I read on…

Honestly. This kind of reporting has to stop.

Yeh an 18 year old woman with “mental health issues”. The guardian should be ashamed of themselves.

I deplore Trump for many reasons, but as much of American (and European) high society was involved with Epstein, it would be odd if he wasn’t. And he does seem to have broken significant ties some decades ago, though possibly for relatively trivial reasons (“poaching staff”).
