Who was Jesse Strang? Canadian trans woman, 18, identified as mass school shooting suspect - "After 10 were killed at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia, the suspected gunman was identified as Jesse Strang... Juno News, spoke the suspect's uncle, Russell G. Strang, who revealed that Jesse Strang was a trans woman, aged 18. She was found dead from what is believed to be a self-inflicted injury, according to police."
Time for more restrictions on law abiding gun owners!
Of course, the media is spreading misinformation by claiming it's a "female". Weird. I thought sex and gender were different and only ignorant people didn't know that.
Slumdog_Chillionaire on X - "I’m old enough to remember early internet troons being like “lol you idiot, you fucking clown, do you even know the difference between gender and biological sex? We know we’re not becoming females.” And now the news is like “he was in the process changing his biological sex.”"
Tristin Hopper on X - "One of the main lessons of the 2021 Nova Scotia shootings were that RCMP failed to release accurate public warnings, causing additional victims to be unaware a mass shooter was at large. Five years later, and the first RCMP alerts in Tumbler Ridge were to watch out for a "female.""
SEEN in Journalism on X - "The police ‘shelter in place’ alert warned of a woman in a dress. It’s likely to be revealed to be an inaccurate warning that endangered lives. Journalists should be asking: did the police elevate a murderer’s identity over the safety of the children he was preparing to kill?"
Jennifer Sey on X - "A psychotic & probably always sadistic young man decides the answer to all of his problems and mental distress is that he's actually a woman. He's pumped full of prescribed drugs based on a wide range of diagnoses none of which include batshit crazy. He pumps himself full of street drugs on top of that. The world sends him the message that he's being genocided because he's "trans." He takes up arms, because his thinks the world wants him dead. A lie fed to him by the entire culture and media machine. He kills his family and school children in one of the worst massacres in Canada's history. The media calls him "woman in a brown dress" then stops talking about him then shifts to "gunperson" because we need to respect his pronouns, in death. This is the state of things. Now Canadians will blame his actions on all the awful anti-trans-ness in the world. Not the fact that he was a drug addicted psycho unleashed and made worse by the trans/medical/industrial complex."
EXCLUSIVE: Family confirms identity of trans Tumbler Ridge school shooter - "A public YouTube account believed to be owned by Jesse features the transgender flag and uses “she/her” pronouns... Police have only confirmed the “original suspect,” described in an active shooter alert as a “female in a dress with brown hair,” was found dead and that the investigation remains ongoing... The YouTube account was created on Nov. 25, 2018, originally under the name “jesseboy347 strang,” but was later renamed “JessJessUwU.” The updated profile listed the pronouns she/her, indicating that Jesse Strang later identified as transgender. The profile image is an anime-style figure overlaid on a transgender pride flag alongside an SKS rifle."
Uubzu v4 on X - "One of the wacky coincidences of our time is that there were close to zero woman mass shooters in all of history until recently, then women started mass shooting at the exact same time as men started becoming women Obviously totally unrelated, but a funny coincidence nonetheless"
Meme - Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo: "Police in Canada have finally confirmed the B.C. school mass sh—ter is trans. He is 18-year-old Jesse van Rootselaar. (Prior independent reporting reported he had his mother’s surname, Slang, but that was inaccurate.) Police say the gunman began transitioning about six years ago, when he was about 12. He had dropped out of school when he was about 14. Police confirm that all of the deceased child victims are between 11–13 years old. Van Rootselaar killed nine people, including his mother, who affirmed his transgender identity, and his 11-year-old brother. Screenshot of the school in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. where the second part of the sh—ting occurred:
'Everyone is welcome here'

Proof that hatred, bigotry and transphobia was why Jesse van Rootselaar killed so many people, and that his victims deserved to die

Mario Nawfal on X - "π¨π¨π¦ TRANS CANADIAN SCHOOL SHOOTER TRIED TO KILL HIS FAMILY BEFORE BY SETTING HOUSE ON FIRE It gets worse. A neighbor told The Telegraph that Jesse Van Rootselaar deliberately set his family's house on fire in 2023 trying to kill them. He was "just sitting out in the front when the fire trucks arrived." Police dismissed the incident. Van Rootselaar later admitted to the arson on social media, saying he did it on psychedelic mushrooms: "I went crazy and burnt my house down... complete break from reality... many consequences ensued." Police had made numerous calls to the home over mental health and firearms incidents. Four guns were used in Tuesday's massacre. None were registered to the home. RCMP now says the shooter was "hunting" at the school, engaging anyone he could find. Victims include four 12-year-olds, a 13-year-old, and a teacher. Neighbors are asking the obvious: Why were guns allowed to remain in that house? "This all could have been avoided," the neighbor said. "The fire should never have been dismissed by police."

Ezra Levant ππ on X - "The CBC has poured unlimited resources into this story. But instead of doing reporting, like the foreign press is doing, they're doing anti-reporting. Anti-reporting is scolding other journalists for misgendering the killer; rebutting other journalists who say there is a transgender crime wave; trying to humanize the killer, etc. And mainly: refusing to report anything that would make the killer -- and the larger system -- look bad."
Meme - Cosmin Dzsurdzsa @cosminDZS: "This is so messed up. Canadian media outlet CityNews is applying beauty filters to make the trans mass shooter Jesse Strang (Van Rootselaar) look more female."
cbcwatcher on X - "This CTV story trying to paint the transgender community as victims seems incurious as to why the other (than Audrey Hale) recent incidents of transgender violence were left off the Violence Project list. Selective statistical parameters?
Audrey Hale (Nashville Covenant School, 2023)
Anderson Lee Aldrich (Club Q, Colorado Springs, 2022)
One perpetrator in the 2019 STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting
Snochia Moseley (Aberdeen, Maryland Rite Aid, 2018)
Also, does CTV include misgendering as a hate crime? Deliberate and repeated misgendering (especially in workplaces or services) has been ruled discriminatory harassment under human rights law (British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal in cases like Nelson v. Goodberry Restaurant Group, or federal CHRT decisions awarding damages for persistent misgendering) @omarsachedina"
Wesley Yang on X - "Three days after a mass murder of six, including three 9-year olds by a trans-identified female, this is what the spokeswoman for the President said: "LGBTQI+ kids are resilient. They are fierce. They fight back. They’re not going anywhere. And we have their back. This administration has their back." When a trans-identified male who was affirmed as a girl at the age of 12 murders his mother, brother, six children ages 11-13, and one teacher at a school in his town of 2,000, Canadian media rushes to portray "the transgender community" as victims. The collective narcissism of a cluster B online community to whom the suffering of innocent others counts for nothing compared to their own compulsion to be affirmed as something they are not and will never be is all that matters is axiomatic across Canadian media and Canadian institutional messaging. It is a moral catastrophe."
Meme - Jason James @jasonjamesbnn: "Fuck CTV and the entire Canadian legacy media establishment. Children are dead. At least one little girl is fighting for her life with significant brain trauma after being shot in the head. As a father, but more specifically a father of a daughter, I wouldn't be able to make it through something like this. The focus should be on what turns confused people into mass murderers. The conversation around every mass shooting should center around our culture and what leads people to such extremes. But that's too difficult and reveals too much about the ideologies we serve so let's just blame the guns. And if there's a mass stabbing in Britain we'll blame the knives. Or climate change. Or transphobia. Or racism. Or anything other than THE FUCKING CULTURE THAT HAS TURNED EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING INTO A RELIGIOUS ZEALOT FOR WHATEVER FUCKING CULT THEIR IDENTITY GROUP BELONGS TO. Fuck Canada's propaganda media and fuck anyone who will attempt to once again politicize a bunch of dead kids. The guns have nothing to do with it. You know it, I know it. It's the culture. And until we change that, we'll just continue to find ourselves right back here trying to make sense of how mentally ill teenagers wired on psychiatric meds and dressed as the opposite sex could go on a rampage and kill a bunch of innocent people."

"This information has not been confirmed to us by either sources or law enforcement." "We want to stick to confirmed details only as we continue to cover this story.""
Cosmin Dzsurdzsa on X - "It's not a journalist's job to "wait for verification." It's literally your job to verify information for the public yourself. Since the pandemic, establishment outlets are happy being government stenographers. They sit around & wait for the govt to tell them what to say. Yes, as first responders, RCMP are a primary source. They are not the only source. There are family members, eyewitnesses and so on. It's a journalist's responsibility to find and talk to them."

Mass school shooter in Canada reportedly a trans man in a dress - "Recent cases of school shootings involving perpetrators identified as transgender include the March 2023 attack at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, where Audrey Hale killed three children and three adults before being fatally shot by police. Another occurred in August 2025 at the Annunciation Catholic Church and school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Robin Westman, a 23-year-old man who had legally changed his name to reflect a female identity in 2020 and was described as transgender, killed two children and injured over a dozen others before taking his own life."

Billboard Chris π on X - "Here’s a more recent picture. Long hair and a dress caused our media to call him a female. Our police called him a gunperson.

Bhangra video after Canada school shooting triggers social media backlash; netizens calls move ‘insensitive’ and ‘self-promotion’ - "After a shooter killed at least eight people and injured dozens at a high school in the small Canadian mountain town of Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday, a positivity author named Gurdeep Pandher posted a video of himself dancing in the snow to “carry hope across borders”. However, many social media users criticised him, calling his act “insensitive” and “self-promotion”... Sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter), where he is seen performing bhangra (a Punjabi folk-dance) in the snow, he wrote, “A wave of sorrow ripples through Canada, both in news and on dinner tables. Hearts are heavy, emotions raw and shared openly. Yet in our darkest hours, joy emerges as both balm and mental medicine – a light that heals what words cannot. In that spirit, I offer this video: a small burst of brightness to carry hope across borders and mend what breaks within us”. Adding to it Pandher wrote, “This winter, I brought to life something that has lived in my imagination for years – the first annual print edition of The Gurdeep Magazine”... “This is deeply insensitive. In Indian, Punjabi, and Sikh traditions, periods of mourning are treated with seriousness and restraint. Celebratory music, dancing, and festivities are traditionally avoided when a family or community is grieving,” an X user wrote."

Thread by @geraldposner on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Journalism is meant to clarify reality, not reshape it. The deceased suspect in one of Canada’s worst mass shootings is 18-year-old Jesse Strang, a biological male who ID's as transgender. Yet all legacy press describes the killer as “female.” Facts should come before ideology
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 and, over time, the historical record."
Carole Hooven on X - "Most men (adult human males) are not violent, and the same goes for trans-identified ones. But the vast majority of those who are extremely violent are men. Journalists who lie about the sex of perpetrators of violent crime mislead the public, harm public safety (including for trans-identified people), and discredit journalism. Tell the truth."
Wesley Yang on X - "The trans-identified male who murdered his mother and sister and six children aged 11-13 at a school, began his transition at the age of 12. The school where he murdered six children aged 11-13 had a trans flag of equality in its window."
Clearly, he only murdered people because of transphobia. The solution is to criminalise transphobia
