The man accused of accosting a nine-year-old at a kids track meet in Kelowna because he didn't believe she was a girl is telling his story. https://t.co/UVpZbZ8Rzz
BREAKING: An unhinged conservative husband and wife interrupt an elementary school track-and-field meet, accuse a 9-year old girl with short hair of being a boy, and demand that the young girl produce her birth certificate in the middle of the race or be disqualified.
But it gets worse…
After the bigoted couple was asked to leave, the wife began accusing the young girl’s lesbian mothers of being “groomers,” “pedophiles,” and “genital mutilators” in front of everyone — causing the traumatized young girl to break down sobbing in tears and shaking.
They refused to leave, and eventually the police had to be called in.
One of the young girl’s mothers filed a report with the local police about the incident, declaring that, “This is absolutely a hate crime. It is a direct result of this right-wing propaganda that has become so rampant in our media.”
In response to the incident, the Central Okanagan School District says that “the persons who accosted the student and family were not from one of our Central Okanagan Public Schools. In response, the District has worked with other local schools to identify the persons and we are taking steps to formally ban them from any District property or events.“
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the bigoted couple MUST be arrested immediately and charged with a hate crime — and consider joining and investing in Tribel, a “woke” new bigotry-free Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1 million raised from 2,500 of its users. The money will be used to continue to grow Tribel into a kind, accepting Twitter competitor that’s the opposite of Musk’s MAGA Twitter.

The behaviour of the two spectators at this elementary school track meet is deplorable. I am saddened to know that a young athlete was impacted by this incident. #bcpoli https://t.co/wT2Cf8vLLQ

To deny gender-affirming resources to trans kids and to threaten their parents and guardians with claims of child abuse is MONSTROUS.
