Advocates are coming to the defence of a trans athlete who plays basketball for Vancouver Island University.
Hariette MacKenzie was playing in a two-day weekend basketball tournament on Oct. 25 and 26.
The Vancouver Island University Mariners were playing against Columbia Bible College on Oct. 26 when in the third quarter MacKenzie was grabbed by an opposing player and thrown to the ground.
MacKenzie posted a video on Instagram after the incident, telling the story of what happened.
She said the Columbia Bible College head coach had cornered one of the Vancouver Island University athletic staff after the game on Oct. 25 and said MacKenzie should not be allowed to play in the game.
