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's a life-style choice, like many things lumped together as the 'mental health' excuse.

I strongly disagree

i do believe it’s a mental health problem caused by a reaction to gender enforcing society which makes you feel that something is wrong with you

the response- isn’t one they create in isolation but is sold to them as a solution - which it can never be

and I think this because I have experienced gender dysmorphia. Having that is not a lifestyle choice. Being yourself and not fitting gender norms isn’t a lifestyle choice.

The Telegraph is now saying 'Gunperson in dress'

See - not difficult to be neutral.

Yes but anyone on SM now knows that the shooter was not a woman.

For a major news outlet to be this far behind on reporting the facts makes them somewhat ridiculous and redundant.

Social media is a complete binfire, replete with AI-generated misinformation. It is incumbent on the BBC to get the facts straight before reporting. This event is, what, twelve hours old at this point? Let people get the facts straight for the record FFS

Would they have known him as "female"? Given that he was 17 and had only started "identifying as female" in 2023.

The secondary school only had about 180 pupils. I am assuming that the boy attended the school so yes, everyone would have known who he was whether or not he was wearing a dress.

I think most Canadians would disagree with that.

I not even Canadian and I disagree with that, a bonkers thing to say or a wind up.

The shooting is a tragedy, but the reporting of it with reference to the shooter is and insult to everyone's intelligence This is how destructive this ideology is, even something as simple as reporting a tragedy has become impossible.

It may well be that this young man displayed signs of being unbalanced that should have been an indicator that he may well do harm to himself and others but they were missed or ignored because those who may have been in a position to help him put it all down to him being gender confused and thought all they had to do was confirm it and all would be well. This is how destructive this ideology is.

I’ve just seen the news on the BBC App. As soon as I saw the description of “a female in a dress” I knew it. Biological male, probably young, with mental health problems.

So now there will be lots of focus on he/she/they/them and not on the people HE has killed.

Yes I heard the very precise (too specific actually) description on BBC Radio Today programme of "a woman in a dress."

First thing I thought was from that description - that's a man.

And it is such a male crime. Family annihilation, then kill the girls at school.

Horrible horrible horrible event, whoever did it.

Thank goodness for gun control in the UK.

TempestTost · 11/02/2026 13:17

What I think what will be more interesting is how the Canadian media approaches it when the identity is released officially. My guess is they will try to ignore the trans element.

emilysquest · 11/02/2026 13:19

I have not yet read the whole thread but what's with the lunatic who thinks that Canadians pledge allegiance to another country's flag? I don't get the agenda or angle on that, in the context the topic of the thread.

Meanwhile, this whole thing of pretending it was a woman or trying to obfuscate things is absolutely infuriating. This is not just semantics, it is very dangerous in multiple ways.

womendeserveequalhumanrights · 11/02/2026 13:19

True they don't have to mention the dress.

Why are the BBC prioritising a killers self ID over the perceptions of his victims, who I'm sure saw him as the male he was, because most humans don't buy into the delusion that you can change sex.

I'm also guessing in general people will be less inclined to indulge this delusion if the person who wants them to indulge it is a violent male with a gun who is hardly displaying the 'kindness' that is weaponised to make people pretend they can't see sex.

It's an active choice to prioritise the killer over his victims.

Evil bastards - it's why I will never again pay my license fee.

I think it would have been useful in the initial description, a dress is pretty identifiable at a distance.

damemaggiescurledupperlip · 11/02/2026 13:23

"Why are the BBC prioritising a killers self ID over the perceptions of his victims"?

And over his potential victims, who may not know to run from a male

HolyGround13 · 11/02/2026 13:23

I’m not reading the mention of the dress the same way as some others here- I think quoting the initial description is ok and not necessarily “prioritising the killer’s self-ID”.

emilysquest · 11/02/2026 13:24

@TempestTost yes, it will be interesting. I cannot see that it benefits the TRA media to admit this was a "transwoman". Far better for them to just call him a man and have done with it, trying to conceal the fact that the thing that "never happens" has happened yet again. TW= stunning girlies who just want to pee. Men= a totally different set, who are more likely to be violent. (Women= ....well, who cares really?)

Duckyfondant · 11/02/2026 13:25

I find it incredible that authorities chose to protect Trans (Big T) over the potential victims of an actual active shooter. Total fuckers

Yes, he's probably one of those fake transes that they disown when its inconvenient for them.

emilysquest · 11/02/2026 13:26

I do think mentioning the dress is pertinent, but it need to be clear that it was a man in that dress, to give a proper picture of what went on. The dress is not incidental to the situation.

Trans people seem to be proportionally over-represented as school shooters.

As a true crime follower, another politically incorrect truth is that hunters and farmers seem to be over-represented among murderers. Hunters kill animals for fun while farmers kill animals for convenience, and it’s not much of a leap to move on to humans. Hunters get a thrill of “transcendence” when they kill and it can become sexual and targeted at humans (though not in this case, it sounds like trans narcissistic injury combined with easy access to guns).

Trans people seem to be proportionally over-represented as school shooters

Makes sense that they would be. School shooters are usually deeply disturbed, mentally unwell and unhappy members of the school's community. In our generation they would have been the emos or goths. Nowadays they're the trans kids.

It's frustrating and sad that all the attention (as always) goes to the identity of the attacker. When it's a trans person, even more so.

womendeserveequalhumanrights · 11/02/2026 13:27

You can rely on AlJazeera for more accurate coverage than the BBC. Tumbler Ridge mass shooting: What we know about Canada’s school attack | Crime News | Al Jazeera

Authorities described the suspect as a “female in a dress with brown hair”. They said they had identified the attacker but have not yet publicly released the name or confirmed the sex of the suspect.

So, using the words the authorities used but making it clear sex has not been confirmed (and letting everyone join the dots, given it's Canada).

Until the police officially release the identity of the attacker, they can’t clarify that. I think that’s part of the issue here. We’re seeing the tension between corroborating facts, and the understandable worry some of us have that this crime may well be recorded as being committed by a female. BBC can’t encourage speculation.

Only the ones who hate Trump.

But the majority identify as American. If you look at them (apart from Quebec which is overrun with French people), they talk like Americans, act like Americans, celebrate the 4th of July, pledge allegiance to the flag?

That’s the biggest pile of bollocks I’ve ever seen posted in this site, and believe me the bar is pretty high.

emilysquest · 11/02/2026 13:31

Oh sure, it is important to get the facts right. But as I understand it, it was being reported that it was a "female in a dress", when the sex of the shooter had not in fact been properly verified. So that's not factual. Should have said a person in a dress and then, as soon as the sex was known, that should be stated.

Timpanic · 11/02/2026 13:31

I am so thankful guns are so tightly controlled in the UK. I can't imagine the horror for the whole community. It's just awful.

I agree that "trans" nowadays seems akin to emo or goth counter culture of the 90s/2000s.

It looks like that reporting was quoting the alert (which sounds inaccurate to my ears) the Canadian police gave at the time. BBC app says
A shelter-in-place alert described the suspected attacker as a "female in a dress with brown hair". Details of the suspect's identity are yet to be shared by authorities.

The suspect was also found dead after the shootings in British Columbia. Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is "devastated" by the "horrific" incidents.
