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."

As soon as you announce you’re ‘female’ or whatever you call yourself people fall into line and you become whomever you say are.
i was selling women’s clothes online recently and received a photo in my selling inbox of a beared man in what would be traditionally known as women’s clothes , as though to prove his femme credentials.
obviously I hadn’t requested this ‘evidence’

The police in that BBC article say he “began to transition to female” six years ago, so 11? Seems implausible unless the parents were very supportive.

Ramblingnamechanger · 12/02/2026 08:01

In Spain too, the media I have seen are busily obscuring the facts. As for the Guardian, I have no words

The issue and confusion is that Canadian authorities are using the term female. So reporters can pick and choose to an extent.

The bbc are now being accurate and clarifying to a degree but still quoting the term female. So now the term female can only be accurate if coupled with biological.

which is ridiculous imo

BBC News at Ten described him as 'he' in the intro but then 'her' during the report last night.

They had had all day to figure it out and that was what they came up with.

They also covered it over just a few seconds about 12 minutes in - there's no way it would have been that minor a story if the killer hadn't turned out to be trans

I’m tempted to report this but more think this deserves to stand to show the kind of thing we are dealing with.

Can you tell me what it said? I appreciate it might get removed again but I'd like to know. Do it in a PM if you prefer. Thanks.

Fucking hell. Emperors new clothes .
i guess when we live in a world where trump is a world leader, anything can and does happen.

I don't know what Trump's got to do with it. He certainly has plenty of faults and things you can criticise, but lack of straight talking on gender ideology isn't one of them. He is on the side of truth on this one. That shouldn't be hard, but apparently it is in far too many countries and for far too many 'journalists'.

Trump has pushed back against calling men women. He's also taken steps to protect children from medical experimentation and protect women's sports.

Arguably people lying and trying to coercively control and force others to lie about biological sex of criminals is one of the reasons people voted for Trump.

Yes, and maybe even the school itself...most likley! And now the adults in the room continue to encourage false belief and obscure the truth.

Probably not implausible in Canada which is totally all in on gender woo.

Someone needs to do research on whether the medical experimental treatment given to children who think (or are coerced by adults into thinking) they are the opposite sex could lead to this sort of outcome.

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.

Beginning transition could mean socially transitioned at school or even just in an online chat group.

nicepotoftea · 12/02/2026 08:14

Guardian still opening with

Canadian police have identified the suspect who carried out a school massacre in remote British Columbia as an 18-year old woman with a history of mental health problems.•

Further down they quote the police chief saying the shooter was ‘born as a biological male’, but they avoid pronouns throughout and as far as I can see don’t use trans or transgender in the article.

The piece is written by Canadian staff.

I think they don’t quite know what to do. Using preferred pronouns raises questions about why the preferences of a murderer should be respected, but acknowledging the truth that the shooter was a man is a step too far for them.

Interesting and depressing summary posted late yesterday - Strang/Van Rootselaar was on a lot of antipsychotic medication, also used mushrooms and cannabis, and according to Amy Hamm who was in an online group that his mother also belonged to was problematic from an early age:

Hamm later shared screenshots from the Facebook group after Van Rootselaar's identity had been confirmed. She said that in 2015, when Van Rootselaar was then seven, his mother posted to a private Facebook group of her son that he "has a huge heart and showed intense empathy when he sees anyone hurt not by his own hand but has a devious grin when he hurts his siblings. He covers things up and lies to get out of taking responsibility for his actions." She added in a comment, that there are "times he is pretty mean."

Why was he let have access to a gun?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 12/02/2026 08:17

People have also said he started “identifying as a woman” only in 2023, so maybe his 12 year old “transition”
was fairly low key.

Also 6 years ago was 2020 - I assume that normal real life social interactions were severely restricted.

RedToothBrush · 12/02/2026 08:18

When men commit crimes of power and control how you handle matters after the fact matters.

Violent crime is usually about power and control. A spree killing is the ultimate in that. "I'll teach them all a lesson. I show them all. I will punish them for how they treated me".

Mum was ultimately supportive by the looks of it. There are some very badly aging social media posts by her floating around.

And yet she was the first to die. As I say. Women can never do enough when it comes to extreme TRAs. They can bend over backwards and try as hard as they can, they are still to blame.

So yes whether you give power to killers after death with pronouns absolutely matters.

It's the same as understanding rape is a primarily not merely a sexually motivated crime. It is primarily a crime of power and control. So when a rapist asks to be sent to a womens prison, it's a manifestation of this and about them reclaiming power and control.

Most of these spree killers in the last five years have been influenced by online incel communities in some way. They are radicalising and doubling down of this idea that they are victims and they should fight back. Now most normal people may have struggle of some sort in life where they have to be determined etc. The issue here is where this energy gets directed.

In this case it's about society conditioning kids to believe they can impose fantasies on others which is always going to run into problems when it comes to some of those who just don't fit in. Pronouns become the be all and end all. The focus is on how women prevent them from being women. It's a hatred and jealousy that they can't be what they want and it produces a power and control issue which is then legitimised and validated by activists.

Honestly the whole damn thing is about power and control. If you have a loss of this in your mind you need good mental health treatment and good support to redirect and challenge these emotions via early intervention.

Otherwise you end up with a whole damn mess.

Until we understand the power and control issues at the heart of this movement and make appropriate steps to not validate it, we are going to continue to have problems. There is no getting away from the power and control issues.

Autism features heavily in cases like this precisely because one of the issues is a need to stay in control and avoidant type behaviour. Again this needs recognition rather than sweeping under the carpet. There are ways to help people with autism with this rather than entrenching it. This is known.

All of it is known. We just don't want to talk about it.

nicepotoftea · 12/02/2026 08:19

And didnt he drop out of school 4 years ago so when he was 14?

Helleofabore · 12/02/2026 08:20

I think this article should be linked up regularly on these threads.

https://seeninjournalism.substack.com/p/reducing-a-murderous-tragedy-to-pronouns

As Gerald Posner clarifies:

‘This is not a minor semantic dispute. In high-profile crimes, accurate reporting matters. Biological sex is a data category used in criminology, public policy, and statistical analysis. Erasing it, or substituting identity categories without clarity, distorts public understanding

It means that instead of analysing - again - what leads people to commit heinous crimes like this, and whether sex, or factors around trans identification could have been a driver, we are wasting time trying to find out whether the killer was a man at all, never mind whether he identified as the opposite sex. Legacy media will address neither.

'Reducing a murderous tragedy to pronouns'

Coverage of the Tumbler Ridge murders - just give us the facts.

Could have been that he transitioned to another gender identity first. It is hard to know the truth.

It feels like maybe media outlets are trying to bake in the gender identity to justify the language? Maybe thinking it supports child transition ?

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.

The Guardian now relies on the patronage of its american readership and outsources the reporting of many issue to its U.S journalists.

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

If the clips of the self published content from Jesse are real, I wonder just how much support he and his family could get where they were. Or if he rejected support that was offerred?

Strange isn't it, I thought that I read yesterday that he was 14 when he started wearing women's clothes. There are pictures of him with a rifle and he definitely loos older than 11.
