Mass Shooting in Tumbler Ridge Canada

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."

And somehow, the horror of this tragedy is really compounded by it being such a small town and school. 160 students in all. Everyone would have known someone who's died and everyone would have known of the perpetrator.

I remember the judges comments in the court case that brought down the Named Person scheme. They said that the intention was benign but the implementation was totalitarian. Very strong words from a judge.

The Scottish Government's implementation is always totalitarian. Employing a cat-sitter to cover you for a weekend away is against the law in Scotland.

Oh god. I just saw this headline on the BBC website and read as far as initial reports of the shooter as being 'a female in a dress with brown hair' and my heart sunk even lower.

Surely this is trans-id as a symptom or jigsaw piece of a complex mental pathology, rather than as the 'reason' a disaffected trans youth enacted yet another mass shooting. Sad But I'm expecting a lot of brow-beating online about 'trans kids' being perpetually misunderstood, bullied, pushed into desperation.

Dr P originally posted this on X October last year.

'How many times does this need to be said, before people recognise the true risk posed by these individuals to all of us?

Cross-sex hormones are:

  1. Psychoactive - (they alter mood and thinking).
  1. Neurotoxic - (they cause structural changes in the brain).

This is about way more than mentally ill men putting on wigs and lipstick then going to work.

This is about individuals whose brains are being altered by hormones, having our lives in their hands.

We really, really need to understand this:

Transgenderism is a public health emergency.'

Really? Can you link me to something about that? I need to share it with my friend who still supports the SNP, despite her being utterly against their views on trans-identifying males (being put in women's prisons, etc).

usedtobeaylis · 11/02/2026 12:10

I hate the way trans identity distracts from the fact it's yet another violent male shooter.

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?

Because....

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

And, if you haven't already, read Pronouns are Rohypnol by Barra Kerr - available on FPFW.

Thanks. I've read it. :(

It's the theft of the word "female" I just can't accept. I find it telling that there's never been the slightest acknowledgement of the immense concession that giving a subset of males the word "woman" involved (not that women were ever asked). It's acceding to our redefinition - in line with their (somewhat - immeasurably, in some cases - sexist) values and standards. I mean, I know we all know this, but I still find it hard to believe it's happened. And at least the adjective "trans" mitigated this. But then we had the inevitable slippage: transwoman > trans woman > woman > female. So "female"'s unforgivable to me. It leaves us with nothing, and it misrepresents the reality we all live and see, every single day.

In cases like this, it's distorting language to reconstruct reality in line with the murderer's self-perception - and this means implicitly absorbing all his victims, the fearful locals looking out for the wrong person (were older people less au fait with gender identity theory left proportionately more vulnerable because of this?), readers globally and every woman everywhere into his subjective framing of the world, regardless of their own. So after taking his victims' lives, he's given the power to subsume their identities, too - any females among them? well, according to the words used, they were "like him", and shared something fundamental with him. And those readers not au fait with this alternative reality (whole nations, cultures, demographics)? Excluded from fully understanding the truth of what happened - and implicitly posited as deserving of their own lack of understanding, or as irrelevant, even, because they're not OTRSOH: their own values are implicitly secondary to ours - secondary to his. It's unconscionable, and astonishingly Orwellian.

Distorting the word "female" leaves a fundamental part of human experience - half of humanity - undefined and unsayable. It shatters our shared understanding - and social cohesion. We need it!

As long as the Canadian authorities are prepared to misuse it in this way, I kind of agree that the BBC are stuck between a rock and a hard place. I too really resent their use of "gender" in place of "sex" - they're well bloody aware of the difference, and that everything hinges on it... but a more accurate '“That alert described a "female in a dress with brown hair" - but the person's name or gender sex are yet to be publicly released”* *wouldn't have been far from yelling Liar, liar! at the Canadian authorities. I still think there were ways to make it clearer, though, eg. “That alert described a "female in a dress with brown hair" - but there appears to remain some uncertainty surrounding the offender's status and identity.

I do feel kind of bad of theorising like this - my heart goes out to the victims, and speculation about this again detracts from the focus on them... but I think it's so, so important to discuss the implications of prioritising his identity above all else. They're huge. We've really got ourselves into an impossible mess with this. Never mind Orwell, it's the stuff of Swiftian satire.

She should look at the detail of the Short Term Lets legislation. House swopping for holidays is illegal too. You have to apply for a licence every 3 years, involving jumping through lots of onerous and expensive hoops as well as paying several hundred pounds for the application. And you have to grant your local council permission to enter your property at any time. The council can also terminate your licence for no reason at any time.

In Ireland, when that Gabriel Alejandro Gentile (changed his name to Barbie Kardashian) was on the loose, the Gardaí (Irish police) put out a warning notice about a ‘teenage girl’ who was dangerous.

He has hurt women, not only threatened to torture his mother to death, nearly tore the eyelids off a social worker in a car, and threatened to rape a woman so badly that she would never be able to have children. Amongst many other things. I think he’s been let loose again, after terrorising women who were locked up with him.
