@xtramagazine: A new report from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is documenting some of the key voices from both media and politics that worked to spread anti-trans fear and misinformation in the days and hours following the attack in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. earlier this year. According to a previous report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, there was a significant spike in anti-LGBTQ2S+ online content following the incident, with Canadian users posting more than 10,000 instances of anti-LGBTQ2S+ content the day after the attack, and anti-LGBTQ2S+ posts from domestic extremist accounts seeing a rise of more than 1,000 percent. The new report, “Online Transphobia Following the 2026 Tumbler Ridge School Shooting” from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, homes in how much of the content shared online in 72 hours after the incident overwhelmingly focused on the perpetrator’s trans identity, including denigrating and denying the existence of all trans people. We break down what you need to know. #lgbtqnews #canadanews #transnews #canada #tumblerridge
