"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.

    Who thought it was a good idea to keep 9 year olds running around in the sun four like four hourss on a saturday with parents and coaches yelling at them?

    Full grown adults can do friendly games of flag football and half-court basketball without a problem in the world, but 9 year olds have to play like they're actually in the NFL because their parents have delusions of grandeur. You shouldn't even have official teams at this age. Just do pick-up games in between some short lessons about the rules and history of the sport. Then everyone retreats to a movie theater during the heat of the day to watch Brian's Song or The Longest Yard or something.

    Oh god and the fucking ugly plastic participation trophies everyone got.

    Can't have any kind of children's activity without a fountain of Merch.
