Families of B.C. assault victims share impact of witness video shared online

The families of two people in B.C. who were recently assaulted are questioning the actions of some witnesses who recorded the attacks, then shared them on social media. Last week in Kelowna, two teenage girls were attacked by another group of teens while waiting for the bus, with one victim telling Global News that she was punched in the face multiple times. The assault was recorded and…

Anti-trans crazies now think any girl with a pixie haircut is a boy or transgender.

And wtf at demanding certification. I didn’t realise you had to carry your kid’s birth certificate on you if they were competing in a sports event.

Girl, 9, accused of being trans at Kelowna track meet

Two Kelowna moms are speaking out after their 9-year-old daughter was verbally assaulted at a track and field event on Thursday at Kelowna's Apple Bowl.

The mothers, who choose not to identify their daughter, say she was competing in a shot-put event when a grandfather of one of the other participants started yelling at her.

"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 Starr.

Starr 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.'"

Starr said the man's wife then started calling her "a genital mutilator, a groomer, and a pedophile."

Central Okanagan School District superintendent Kevin Kaardal confirmed with Castanet that steps are being taken to ban the man from all school-related events.

"Staff intervened and actually moved the shot-put away from where he was. The gentleman was not a part of our school district. We are taking steps to ensure he is not able to be on our school property or attend events in the future."

Kaardal said the incident was "totally unacceptable."

"Adults need to govern themselves and behave appropriately," he added.

Kari Starr, the girl's other mother, says Thursday's events have rocked their daughter's confidence.

"This has destroyed our beautiful daughter's confidence, and she was inconsolably crying during this whole event and continued once it was over and we were leaving. Not to mention, she was unable to concentrate on her track and field finals and the shot-put throw for which she had qualified," Kari said.

The parents posted a photo and identity of the man on local Facebook groups, but Castanet is not publishing that information because the man's identity has not been confirmed by the school district.

Man accuses 9-year-old girl with short hair of being trans & leaves her sobbing

The old man told her and another girl with short hair that they're "obviously trans" and shouldn't compete.

One of the girl’s mothers, Heidi Star, tells local news site Castanet that her daughter was competing in the fourth-grade shot-put finals at a track and field event at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna, B.C., on June 8. As she stepped up to compete, the grandfather of another student competing in the event began yelling from the stands.

“‘Hey, this is supposed to be a girls’ event, and why are you letting boys compete,’” the man shouted, according to Heidi Star, who said her daughter is cisgender, uses she/her pronouns, and wears her hair in a short pixie cut.

Star said the man’s outburst brought the event to a halt and that he also indicated another student-athlete with short hair who he insisted was “obviously trans.”

According to Star, the man’s wife accused her of being “a genital mutilator, a groomer, and a pedophile,” while he insisted that she provide proof that her daughter was born female.

Star told Kelowna news site iNFOnews.ca that her daughter was left “shaking and sobbing.”

“All the kids that were there went, ‘This is gross. This is rude, why would he be doing this?’ The other child he pointed out just ran away altogether,” she said.

iNFOnews.ca reports that when organizers of the event, which brought together student-athletes from schools across the region, moved the shot-put finals to a pit away from where the man was seated, he followed. When teachers asked him to leave, he refused.

Central Okanagan School District 23 superintendent Kevin Kaardal said that the man was not from the district. But, Kaardal said, the district is “taking steps to ensure he is not able to be on our school property or attend events in the future.”

Star, who is a gay woman, said that her daughter has worked with a transgender coach and theater teacher and had a transgender cousin. “She completely understands the spectrum of gender and diversity,” Star said, adding that her daughter has never witnessed this kind of hatred before.  

The girl’s other mother, Kari Star, said that the incident destroyed their daughter’s confidence. “She was inconsolably crying during this whole event and continued once it was over and we were leaving. Not to mention, she was unable to concentrate on her track and field finals and the shot-put throw for which she had qualified,” she said.

“Mostly, she feels very sad whenever she thinks about it,” Heidi Star said. “It was really sad to be asked for a certificate to prove she’s a girl.”

Star, said she considers what happened to her daughter to be a hate crime. She said she filed a report with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police but was told that because officers did not witness the incident, there was nothing they could do.

“The biggest thing I’m really hoping is that policies will be put in place so that, when stuff like this happens police are called right away,” she said. “There was no protocol on what to do and we have to kind of accept that this is the world we live in and you’re going to get people who feel emboldened enough to do these atrocious things. It’s not fair to the parent volunteers at these events to be expected to navigate what are really criminal harassment matters.”

The incident demonstrates the detrimental effect panic around transgender athletes competing in girls’ and women’s sports can have on all athletes. In the U.S., several states have passed laws banning trans women and girls from participating on school sports teams that reflect their gender identity. Laws introduced by Republicans in states like Florida and Ohio that would have required student-athletes to be subjected to “genital examinations” in order to participate in girls’ sports have been defeated in state legislatures.

This is what your and your party's hateful actions are causing.

Ok since these people are unidentified and there's no verification that this even happened other than someone said so and so many of these incidences eventually turn out to be hoaxes I'm not even going to really believe this happened until the "journalists" reporting on it start doing some actual journalism and investigate the claims.

But, if it did happen, this is not because of me and my party, it is directly because of you and your party.

YOUR PARTY is the one promoting the sick idea of transgender children.

YOUR PARTY is the one reinforcing gender stereotypes by pretending young girls who don't look or act like traditional girls (a short haircut, for example) are trans.

YOUR PARTY is the one pushing for transwomen to be able to play on sports teams with biological women.

YOUR PARTY created this issue.

If this did happen, it was inappropriate but it happened because of YOUR PARTY pushing this ideology onto children and the rest of us and creating unsafe and unfair environments for actual women.

Now you've seen the negative results of the evil you push for so you're trying to pin it on us but you can't escape the fact that this is your fault.

One of the leaders of a movement protesting public health orders in British Columbia's Okanagan region has been sentenced to 120 days of house arrest for assaulting two security guards and criminal contempt. David Lindsay, who was convicted of two counts of assault in December 2023, was handed the sentence on Friday by Kelowna provincial court judge Cathaline Heinrichs. Court heard Lindsay assaulted two security guards while trying to enter an Interior Health building in Kelowna during an August 2021 "Freedom Rally" demonstration. Similar to other demonstrations across the country, weekly protests were held in downtown Kelowna that were mostly against public health orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic. They drew anywhere from dozens to several hundred people.

Look at the results so far.

You're the minority, no matter how many of you desperately try to crash this poll.

By the way, your side has been harassing more cis women in bathrooms than any trans women ever have.

And who tf harasses little girls at a track meet? More of YOUR people--that's who.

You claim to care about and speak for women, and you claim you aren't the ones actually reinforcing outdated gender roles, yet...

Should we get into ASSAULTING cis women, believing them to be trans? I know there's more than just these two examples so far.

And how about when y'all openly celebrate and disrespect the death of trans people--including minors?

FYI: That's not normal. That's demented and psychotic.

By the way, one of yours was recently outed as an actual neo-Nazi. Congratulations. Not that they're the first, mind you.

It goes along really well with J.K. Rowling's Holocaust denial (yes, denying the persecution of trans people during the Holocaust is considered Holocaust denial. Good thing for her that she doesn't live where she could have faced legal action).

By the way, it's cute how you people will insist you're the majority right after whining and crying that the media, public education, science, and medicine are "biased" against you.

Y'all don't lose friends, family, agents, and job opportunities and become publicly ridiculed because you're "telling the truth".

It's because you're filled with blinding, seething hatred for people just trying to live with a neurological condition they never asked for.

When King Transphobe has to tell you to cool it, maybe...just MAYBE...you might look like an obsessed creep.

By the way, feminism has always stood for trans rights. You were NEVER the majority.

Anyway, TL;DR:

TERFs trying to attack David Tennant is the funniest shit.

A British Columbia woman assaulted by a Kelowna Mountie during a wellness check more than three years ago says she’s disappointed the officer received a conditional discharge and probation this week, calling the sentencing “a slap on the wrist.” Mona Wang was a nursing student at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus in January 2020, when Const. Lacy Browning dragged her from her apartment after Wang’s boyfriend asked police to check on her well-being. Surveillance video disclosed as part of a civil lawsuit filed by Wang shows Browning dragging Wang by the arms face down along a carpeted hallway, then stepping on her head in the lobby. The BC Prosecution Service has confirmed that Browning was handed a conditional discharge and was placed on probation for two years during Monday’s hearing after pleading guilty to one count of assault in November 2022. Browning must also complete 160 hours of community service over the first year, and a $200 “victim fine surcharge” was also imposed.
