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 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!!

Fuck! A moderator?

Doesn’t surprise me all that much given some of the other TRA mods.

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 not sure about this. There was a mass shooting with ten dead at a school in Graz, Austria, last year, and that got pretty minimal coverage and was out of the news cycle within a day or two. Lots of these events don[t get much coverage if they are outside the US.

It says here he hadn't yet got cross-sex hormones in 2023, presumably he got them in the intervening period. It would be informative to know how that affected his mental health. No-one seems to monitor this.

Also, he expresses upset at his male body going through male puberty. Who put the idea in his head that biology doing its normal, natural thing was bad? There's nothing inherently bad about looking like an adult male.

How did the drugs he was given affect his cognitive development?

All questions that no-one in authority in Canada has any interest in exploring.

A man of any description is a human male, in your examples. The blond/brunette can be understood as you reference a man. As we’re naked apes, you can only be referring to our crown toppers.

On the other hand, a ginger male could be a foxy boy/man, or a ginger ‘Tom’.

Was certainly very active on Reddit and a member of that sub Reddit. Right wing accounts are doing the running on mining information on this so am wary of.

That subreddit now locked. They've also deleted his posts

I've not RTFT yet, so am sure others have said this, but honestly just wanted to post it again out of helpless anger and frustration. Rant incoming. I read about this in The Guardian this morning, assumed the shooter was male, of course, then saw the line, "A police active shooter alert sent to people in the area described the suspect as 'female in a dress with brown hair'". My first thought: they must mean a man; it's virtually unheard of for a woman to do something like this. My second: stop being so cynical, you're a biased TERF - they'd never risk lives by putting out an inaccurate warning like that, using the word female, of all things... My third thought: But 'in a dress'?! why the heck say, 'in a dress'" My fourth: Stop it, Cattiette. Not every one of these instances will be a trans woman. And yet I did keep wondering - and guess what?

How the fucketty fuck (and you know I hardly ever swear) can we be living in a world in which using the wrong pronoun is utter anathema, yet misleading citizens in a context like this is ethical? In which it's seen as destructively damaging to the mental health of a criminal to use "she", yet stealing every single word women have left with which to name themselves and gifting it to their oppressors, all the while gaslighting women that they're capable of similar violence to those oppressors, is The Right Thing To Do. And the victims' perspective and realities is clearly an irrelevance. Who cares who or what they saw coming for them? Who cares that they died because this was a male, because of male violence? Who cares about their truth? And my right, to read about this and understand the implication, that trans women do show the same patterns of offending as men, and females are safer to me? Other people's - Canadian women's - right to know that, and make decisions about their safety accordingly in Canada's 'trans-inclusive' spaces? Simply our right to read the fucking news and focus on the truth and the tragedy, and not the politics, of it? And also, what about genuinely vulnerable trans people's right not to be associated with mendacity, not to be caught up in this growing tidal wave of suspicion and anxiety about their identities?

It's so, so, so, so upsetting.

So upsetting.

Edited

I've also not read the full thread so I don't know if this has been asked. Do we know that when authorities put out the warning saying the person is female, that they knew it was a trans man? Could it have been they were putting out information provided by callers from the school who may have only briefly seen the person and assumed them to be female?

Secondly, if I say I was a visitor and saw someone over the road with long hair wearing a dress, from a distance I would assume female. I don't know if it would have made me safer if they'd said male/transgender. Perhaps they didn't need to mention sex/gender at all and should just say suspect with description.

I am not questioning your wider points, but whaether authorities have deliberately obscured information to be PC as opposed to just making a very quick decision based on info they were told .

The Times have included a photo of him in this article, so there is no doubt what sex he is. And a photo of Maya Gebala, who is fighting for her life 😞

They've used a photo of the wrong transgender woman, isn't that the cousin who shares a surname with the murderer's mother?

Also, did he have the capacity to understand this treatment and its risks and limits?

This cannot end with people feeling sorry for the perpetrator and blaming society for being transphobic. We must keep the discussion going on how this adolescent became so mentally ill that he took a gun, killed his own mother and stepbrother and then went to his previous school and shot numerous young children. The trans activists must not be allowed to overlook the fact that his transitioning did not help him in any way and what he needed was Psychological help, not social transitioning and certainly not any form of medical transitioning. So many young lives shattered and so many families broken.

Kalalily · 12/02/2026 10:24

And journalists covering this story need to grow a pair and write truthfully. We all know that you are eye rolling in private but it is time now for people to stand up and have courage. Too many lives are being shattered by trans ideology.

Oh I've no idea. That's the first photo I've seen.

Helleofabore · 12/02/2026 10:28

I questioned the photo, too. Either the teen put on a huge amount of weight, which is very possible, which caused the face to look very different or it is the wrong person.

This gives an idea of how isolated Tumbler Ridge is.

It's about the size of a large English village.

I wonder how much support there would have been for anyone with any kind of mental illness?

It also sounds as though it was built to serve the mining industry (which was never successful) and doesn't have much else going on.

I know nothing about guns or gun culture in Canada, but would most families in a town like this expect to have guns?

If this mass murder was on the run would the police really describe him as a woman? Does he have a gender recognition certificate. Why did his mother support him in his gun obsession. We saw a similar support in an American mass murder case last year. Who thinks affirming mentally ill 12 year olds into believing they can change sex is a good idea. Which medical professionals think giving 12 year olds puberty blockers, sex hormones and psychotic drugs isn’t going to lead to a deranged 18 year old. How about proper mental health support and not lies about changing sex being the “cure” to your clear mental health issues. Did the police strongly object to guns being returned to that house given the multiple call outs to that home where there was clearly someone with major mental health issues combined with a gun obsession. Like hello. I cannot believe the guns were returned. Shocking.

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.

Trans children were invented by the trans lobby to deflect from the fact that adult male transsexuals (both heterosexual and homosexual) are sexually motivated.

If children can be trans it suggests that transsexualism (or transgenderism) is a harmless expression of identity, not a men's sexual rights movement.

The trans lobby needs trans children as an aid to pulling the wool over well-meaning people's eyes.

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

God knows what the Adult Baby Diaper community are fixated on

There's a suggestion floating about that Strang was part of this...

At least one user name included 'uwu' which is a variation of 'owo'.

God knows if it's true but it sure isn't looking great.

It looks at if this guy had behavioural issues since he was a child. Again suggestion that his Mum was seeking help as he was hurting his siblings from age 7.

This is also going to throw up a lot of heat if true. He's 18 and he killed a half brother who was 11.

The narratives from all this are going to get ugly but I do feel since there is a lot of rumour and conjecture on this, the authorities are going to have to address these otherwise people are going to feel there is an ongoing cover up.

The delay in the media stating sex when they clearly knew hours earlier isn't a neutral act unfortunately. It may be about trying to accurately report but it took far too long to officially confirm. This begs questions of the authorities and it begs questions of how media dealt with this. The British police have had to deal with such cases already and have admitted faster responses are essential to public trust.

There are better ways for media to address this too - they could default to a neutral suspect, they could reference unconfirmed reports at when you get to the tipping point stage of everyone on social media kicking off because they've clocked it instead of weasel wording, they didn't have to wang on about gender at all (its sex not gender).

Honestly its all a car crash. It's just feeds the extremist shite on the other end of the scale because it is being handled so badly.

No one believes anything anymore.
