As more information is revealed about Jesse Van Rootselaar, the individual behind the recent mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., members of the transgender community are expressing concern over the intense focus on the shooter’s gender identity.
Van Rootselaar, who was assigned male at birth, began transitioning to female several years ago.
As advocacy groups tell Global’s Jillian Piper, they are worried that emphasizing this detail could result in increased anti-trans sentiment across the country.
