We must be free to speak about the scourge of trans violence

The massacre at Tumbler Ridge feels like the militant wing of grievance culture.

There was a double tragedy at Tumbler Ridge in British Columbia this week. The first was the shooting to death of five schoolkids and an education assistant in what ought to have been the sanctuary of their place of learning. The second is that the names and even the bloody fate of those innocents will not be long remembered. Why? Because they had the great misfortune of being murdered by a member of a celebrated minority. By an adherent to that most sainted ideology: transgenderism.

What I Suffered Being ‘Transgender’

When I was 11, I began identifying as transgender. I had gone down a rabbit hole of websites and niche online forums. There I met a friend—an artist who was 14—whom I admired and looked up to.

We both felt different, out of place in society. Born 10 years earlier, we would have been called tomboys. Instead, we writhed under the pressure of the “female role.” The internet told us the logical conclusion of that struggle was to identify as boys.

I come from a broken home. While my mother and stepfather always loved me, my stepfather became severely disabled when I was 3, leaving me feeling as though I had to raise myself. I eventually reached out to my biological father around a decade later. When he and my stepmother saw my distress—and were told by a psychiatrist that this distress was related to my transgender identity—they began to consider the benefits of affirming me in my transition.

Before Mass Killing, Mental Breakdowns and Online Violent Extremism

On Tuesday afternoon, Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, grabbed two firearms from her home and, the authorities in British Columbia said, killed her mother and 11-year-old brother. Then she traveled a mile to the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and killed five students and one educator before turning her weapon on herself.

The mass shooting, which also left two children injured with gunshot wounds, has sent shock waves across Canada, where such violence is rare, and has devastated the small rural community of 2,400 people.

An investigation of Ms. Van Rootselaar’s online life offers a chronicle of a young person’s gradual descent into mental health crises and radicalization into extreme violence.

Jamie Sarkonak: What RCMP didn’t tell Tumbler Ridge when students’ lives were in danger

Eight innocents were shot dead in B.C.’s northeastern community of Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday; a girl is fighting for her life in hospital, and two dozen more have been injured. This tragedy is one of the worst ever seen in Canadian history — and as it unfolded, police gave the public incorrect information and did not correct themselves afterward.

“Suspect described as female in a dress with brown hair,” read the emergency alert notifying residents of the school shooter, who was later found dead.

Tumbler Ridge Shooting: CBC degenerates raise eyebrows at Father’s use of He/Him pronouns to describe son

Biological father of Tumbler Ridge shooter offers ‘heartfelt condolences’ 

The biological father of the 18-year-old who killed eight people in Tumbler Ridge before turning a gun on herself Tuesday issued a statement Thursday night, offering his sympathy to the families of the dead and saying he was estranged from the shooter.

Children paid in NHS puberty blocker trial backed by Streeting

Children are being paid to take part in an NHS puberty blocker trial, The Telegraph can reveal.

Some 226 children who believe they are transgender will be given puberty blockers as part of an investigation commissioned by Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, into their effects on the young.

The drugs, which stop the body’s natural development, were indefinitely banned by the Health Secretary after the Commission on Human Medicines said they posed “an unacceptable safety risk” to children.

A New Study Challenges the Mental-Health Claims of “Gender-Affirming Care”

A new study challenges the popular claim that medical interventions improve trans-identifying people’s mental health. Rather, the study argues, nonmedical factors like social support and coping style are far more important determinants of these individuals’ mental-health outcomes.

For years, doctors and medical associations have argued that patients with gender-related distress, including children, suffer from depression and suicidality and need access to “gender-affirming care” to relieve it. They presented this view as the scientific consensus, and that view has shaped policy debates about how readily these interventions should be offered and under what—if any—safeguards.

The Tranadian Betrayal

Tumbler Ridge Transgender Mass Shooter

I know that I seem to crack on our neighbors to the north quite a bit sometimes, but I can’t help it. I’m only human, and they can be so self-righteous and incredibly pathetic at the same time that it’s impossible not to say something.

Which is where I am right now about the ghastly situation that unfolded in the remote northern British Columbia town of Tumbler Ridge.

Revealed: 6ft trans school shooter wanted to be ‘petite’

The transgender teenager responsible for Canada’s worst school shooting in nearly 40 years struggled with his physical appearance and was fixated with guns and drugs.

Jesse Van Rootselaar, an 18-year-old from the remote town of Tumbler Ridge who was born a male, wrote online about his 6ft frame and his desire to be a “petite” woman.

He shot dead his mother, Jennifer Strang, and his 11-year-old stepbrother on Tuesday afternoon before walking to his former school 10 minutes away and opening fire on pupils and staff, killing eight before taking his own life.

Globe & Mail says you’re transphobic

In the wake of the Tumbler Ridge shooting, false claims about trans people spread online

On Wednesday afternoon, the RCMP identified the shooter in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., as an 18-year-old transgender woman who lived in the small community and had a history of mental-health issues.

But before the shooter was even identified, speculation around their gender identity was proliferating across social media.

Since the RCMP, in an emergency alert on Tuesday, described the shooter as a “female in a dress with brown hair,” prominent American right-wing influencers, social-media accounts and Reddit communities quickly spread and amplified anti-trans rhetoric.


This silly piece was written by the Globe’s “On-line culture reporter”.

I bet she learned what Ratio’d means.

More on the monster.

The media needs to stop gaslighting us about the reality of trans mass shooters

Another mass shooting, and another devastated community.

And once again, elites in the media class and public officials are so terrified of offending that they don’t dare ask the obvious question: Why are so many of the most horrifying attacks carried out by people who identify as “trans”?

After Canada suffered one of its deadliest school massacres Tuesday, police identified the biologically male shooter as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar — noting that he began to transition six years ago.

That’s right: another deadly attack by someone who is transgender.

OLDCORN: Another transgender mass shooter, and no, gun laws aren’t the problem

Tumbler Ridge Transgender Mass Shooter

They are already sanitizing him.

Within hours of the massacre at Tumbler Ridge Secondary, the usual machinery kicked into gear. Politicians offered “thoughts and prayers.” Flags lowered. Prime Minister Mark Carney “suspended” his schedule. Pierre Poilievre tweeted his condolences, and meant them, because that is what decent people do when a community is gutted.

But nobody said what Jesse Strang actually was, transgender.
