David Eby, the premier of British Columbia, even responded to news of the incident on Twitter.
This story mainly involved five people, including four adults and one child: a 9-year-old girl and her two mothers, Heidi and Kari Starr, as well as two grandparents named Josef and Krista Tesar.
In light of the incident, Kevin Kaardal, the superintendent for Central Okanagan Public Schools, one of at least two school districts with students who were participating in the event, said in a statement published by At the school district track and field finals at the Apple bowl yesterday, this fellow, right as my daughter was coming up to throw for the shot-put event, stopped the entire event declaring that my daughter was a boy. My daughter is a girl, was born female, and uses she/ her pronouns. She has a pixie cut. Josef proceeded to say that if my daughter was not a boy, then she was definitely trans and should be disqualified from competing.
In the statement, Josef Tesar said he did not yell at the Starrs' daughter, but did approach a person who was officiating the event and eventually made mention of the Starrs' daughter's certificate. He also claimed that the Starrs asked if he needed to see their daughter naked to satisfy his questions:
"I said 'No, the certificate is OK.' That's all I said. I never pointed to another girl and said she's obviously trans. That is a big lie as well." "That word is not in my vocabulary. [They] fabricate the lies and hate towards us. I never yelled towards the girl. I went to the official in private and asked one question."
He never asked to see my daughter's genitals. I noticed that that seems to be in ongoing message in the media and I never said that. All I have ever said was that he demanded a certificate and that I responded pointing out that what he was really asking was to know which genitals were in my daughter's shorts.
