Man falsely accuses 9-year-old girl of being trans at school sports event
TL;DR Summary
A grandparent disrupted a school sports event in Kelowna, British Columbia, falsely accusing a nine-year-old girl with a "pixie" haircut of being trans and demanding certification that she was born female. The man's wife allegedly hurled abuse at the girl's mother. The incident has damaged the girl's confidence, and the school district is taking steps to ban the man from all school events. Banning trans youth from sports has become an increasingly popular right-wing culture war issue, with Republican politicians in the US pushing for state bans.
