Transcript
[We see a doctor off screen positioning a camera for Mikey Kimmings, who is now 88]

Mikey: “This is a statement in reponse to trans activists using my granddaughter‘s image on pro-transgender leaflets and saying she was a female-to-male transgender who was killed in 1989.”

[Mikey shows a photo of Ichiro]

Mikey: “I am speaking on the behalf of me and Maria’s maternal grandfather Ichiro Tachimi, who cannot join me today.”

[Mikey looks at the camera]

Mikey: “My granddaughter is not and will never be transgender, She was born a girl and she will always will be, this is a new low, using a dead child to try and further your attempts is disgusting and wrong, Maria was always a girl.”

[Mikey oicks up a photo of Maria Tachimi]

Mikey: “If my granddaughter was still around, she would have been disgusted with women denying their daughters to play with dolls all in the name of trans rights, Maria was harrassed for liking Transformers by other parents, I didn’t like Maria liking it, but, she was still my granddaughter.”
