"She went to step up to compete for the grade four shot-put final, and right before she went to throw, a grandfather of a student said, 'Hey, this is supposed to be a girls' event, and why are you letting boys compete.' My daughter is cisgender, born female, uses she/her pronouns. She has a pixie haircut," said mom Heidi Star.

Star says the man then carried on to demand certification to prove that her daughter was born female.

"He stopped the entire event. He also pointed at another girl who also had short hair. He then piped in and said, 'Well, if she is not a boy, then she is obviously trans.'"

Star said the man's wife then started calling her "a genital mutilator, a groomer, and a pedophile."

This is what happens when you allow Americanism to invade your country.

    It's so fucked. Athletes are specifically selected out for being weird mutants way over at the far end of the bell curve of human ability. And that's just to start - you need to have te starting stats, then you have to train like hell for years. And then you get to the olympics or something and you get punched directly in the tits because some freak tells you your T levels are too high, or your chromosomes are weird or something. Like motherfuckers sports is already competitive turbo eugenics, and now you're just setting a totally arbitrary limit on how much of a hyperfit statistical outlier you can be before you're "too good?"

    It's just totally incoherent bullshit.

    Man I don't even want to think about how my gymnast or hockey friends from highschool would be treated these days. A lot of them were goddamn tanks and weighed like 20-40 lbs more than someone roughly the same size and shape because they were solid slabs of muscle. Lots of short hair and small breasts. They already took shit from queerphobic bigotry and stereotypes of girls in sport being gay, i would not be shocked if it's worse now.
