"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.
I don't really care about integrity because kid's sports should be focussed on development and shouldn't be properly competitive until late teens IMO. It's more that if there's one clearly stronger/faster kid, then no one else really gets better because all the other kids learn to just pass to them.
I was that kid people passed to so I still play the sports I played as a kid. Hearing stories of other people having bad times in gym class, or being forced to play by their parents and having a bad time saddens me because it's a missed opportunity.
