I would think, in Canada, such behavior would merit a hate crimes charge, since they don’t worship at the altar of FREEZE PEACH like we do here in the U.S.
The incident is in fact being investigated by the RCMP. On top of that it was other parents who intervened to stop the man, the school is banning them from school property, a city council member says they’ll investigate how to promote safer spaces for those who are minorities, the mayor gave a statement condemning it, and the premier of the province condemned it and encouraged everyone to stand up against transphobia. The message has consistently been that transphobia is not okay, and not “but she wasn’t even trans!”, which I think is good.
Realistically the response after it happened was probably about as good as could ever be hoped for. I really hope the little girl is able to remember the support and not the attempted insult.
I also feel bad for the grandchild of the bigots, who was also participating in the event and is presumably a classmate of the other kids. The grandparents apparently live two provinces away, so good job Grandma and Grandpa coming for a visit and causing shit for the kid and parents who have to live in that community.
I mean, the part where the girl isn’t even trans just makes this asshole look even fucking worse. He would’ve been a piece of shit either way, but now he’s a piece of shit on top of being wrong. Does this guy look at cancer patients and have a shit fit because he thinks they’re trans too?
he’s been wanting to throw that fit for a long time. He’s locked in some horrible echo chamber of hate and has been ready to fight the “wokies” for a long time. People like this just aren’t fit for our society in my opinion. At the very least it’s harasment and the justice system should do something with him.
He’s probay the type that throws a tantrum when a “healthy” looking person uses a handicapped parking space. I can’t fathom how people like this think, are they so “perfect” that they go out looking to be enraged?
