9-year-old girl verbally attacked and accused of being transgender at track meet

A 9-year-old Canadian girl was verbally attacked and accused of being transgender at a school track and field event by the grandfather of another student. The man interrupted the event and yelled at the girl, who is cisgender, and accused her of being transgender. He also demanded certification to prove that she was born female and accused her parents of being "genital mutilators, groomers, and pedophiles." The incident traumatized the young athlete, but the school district is taking necessary action to ban the man from district property and events. The community has shown tremendous allyship and concern for the girl's wellbeing.
