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."

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.

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

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'.

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.

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"

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.

https://junonews.com/p/exclusive-family-confirms-identity

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.

CapacityBrown · 12/02/2026 09:17

These stories would typically be in UK news for a few days, seems to have been dropped on the morning news today, inconvenient killer, so therefore no further reporting.

Yes I agree. Be factual.

Interesting. What a shame Trump's great work for women and children didn't extend far enough to stop him getting involved with Epstein.

I agree - but like him or not Trump has improved women's rights in the US in relation to gender woo from where they were prior to his election. That's just a fact.

Trump's speech about 'grabbing them by the pussy' didn't stop him getting elected and based on the released Epstein emails that sort of 'locker talk' is the tip of a very big iceberg and at the milder end of the scale. I personally hope everyone stops focusing on unimportant shit about the Epstein files and starts looking at criminal charges for sex crimes against minors for any man against whom a case can be made.

However, it's possible to recognise nuance in life. Lots of men who've achieved amazing things in one way were misogynists and horror shows to the women in their lives.

Some argue even Orwell - who described the current situation with 'gender' obliterating the truth of sex so well in 1984 - wasn't that nice to his wife and didn't acknowledge her contribution to his work.

So we have a long way to go and when this level of media and state silencing is forced on an unwilling population, we have to take our wins where we find them.

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

Edited

Yes. There are numerous examples of his fury and disgust at women who don’t know their place and he might have fallen out with Epstein but have we forgotten ‘grab them by the pussy’?

All those identikit women on Fox News and at mar a lago know the drill.

I have no idea how he treats Susie Wyles, but I’m sure he will allow that women can be useful - although it’s not clear what she is doing now that he is going more and more off the raills.

The less said about his comments on his daughter’s appearance the better.

Anyway, this is all rather off topic, so apologies for the diversion.

Yes, he's crude and vulgar and often inappropriate ( about everyone and everything), but that is not the exact same thing as believing women should conform to gender stereotypes.

Someone upthread mentioned the last trans identified male shooter and I seem to recall he'd expressed wishes to detransition in private diaries. Given the absolute silencing around discussing the reality of sex and the abuse meted out to detransitioners in societies that have institutionalised gender woo, I wonder if males who have transitioned, been given a cocktail of experimental drugs and psychologically indoctrinated as a child (without any support for other issues), and then in adulthood (or near adulthood) begin to realise they've been sold a lie might have more mental health problems than most?

All this needs scrutiny, but it won't get it.

Times Radio still including it in their main news every half hour this morning.
" School shooter revealed to be 18 yo man with a history of mental illness who identified as a woman" (I paraphrase but it was quite clear what sex the murderer was)
Have the BBC memory-holed it already? That's bad, even for them

Historically police reports used unnamed /unidentified "female aged X" as a factual statement. It also removes a need to have to decide if the word should be woman or girl if there has been no ID.

It allows the media statement to be a boiler plate transmission of information which could be filled in as the details were known (or allowed to become public)

Victim :
sex age name home address occupation [ + other personal details]
address/time of incident cause of harm alive/dead [ + other crime details]
etc.

In this case as the victims are known it "should" be
[(Edit) uline formated ]
" _ " female aged 14 named as ......
and Adult female aged 39 named as ...

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cr5lnzqdr5pt

The step brother is "a youth" while the other children are "students" and the woman is "educator" is so the 3 terms are "occupation" classification

  • The dead include an adult female educator, 39, three female students, all aged 12, and two male students, aged 12 and 13
  • Two other victims, an adult female, 39, and a male youth, 11, were found in a local residence. Police say they were the suspect's mother and step-brother

But as pointed out when the killer is named as female the whole basis of factual reporting is removed.

Canada shooting latest: Police name suspect in Canada school shooting as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar

Police say the dead include an adult female educator, three female students, two male students, plus the suspect's mother and step-brother.

"It's certainly not groundbreaking news that the early victories by the women on 'The Apprentice' were, to a very large extent, dependent on their sex appeal." — Trump wrote in his 2004 book, "How To Get Rich."

"Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president? I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?" — Trump in a September 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, speaking about then-primary rival Carly Fiorina.

"It doesn't really matter what (the media) write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass." — Trump in an interview with Esquire Magazine in 1991.

"I saw a woman who was totally beautiful. She was angry that so many men were calling her. 'How dare they call me! It's terrible! They're all looking at my breasts.' So she had a major breast reduction. The good news: Nobody calls her anymore — nobody even looks — and not only that, it was a terrible job." — Trump to Stern in 2008.

It's definitely creating psychological issues.

We are dealing with a new breed of trans (indeed the term is now transgender as opposed to transsexual), we used to have the homosexual transsexuals and the heterosexual transsexuals, very rare that anyone transitioned during childhood.

Now we have mixed-up children being instantly medicated and operated on. They later want to detransition and there is a lot of resentment at the adults who enabled it.

The boy's mother pushed the ideology a lot on her social media.

Thanks to the two posters who responded to my rather vague request for data on trans indentifed males' violence. I was just interested to see if the numbers support the idea that trans is over-represented in school shootings or other violent crime.

There's already a gun nut subculture with Furries if memory serves.

If there's no way out of 'transitioning' - I'd imagine this is extra true somewhere like Canada - but it hasn't delivered what was promised - what then for young men caught up in it?

These questions need to be asked.

womendeserveequalhumanrights · 12/02/2026 09:47

Many detransitioners have gone on record to say that as soon as they say they want to detransition they are abandoned by the clinicians and health system that transitioned them in the first place. No support, no medical or psychological advice, nothing.

It is not very precise though, is it? I have an adult female (9) trying to get me to give her a third breakfast at the moment. She does have whiskers and a big bushy tail. No, I’m not describing myself!!
