Man Claiming Womanhood Slammed After Breaking Women’s Powerlifting Record
"A male powerlifter who has often competed against women and even mocked them for being weak reportedly set a women’s national powerlifting record and an unofficial women’s world record at a championship in Brandon, Manitoba, on Sunday.
Anne Andres, 40, had a total powerlifting score (based on the total of the heaviest weight lifted for the bench press, and deadlift and squat) of 597.5kg, (roughly 1,317 pounds) more than 200 kg than the top-ranked woman, SuJan Gil, who had a score of 387.5kg (854 pounds), at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship, according to Reduxx."
I still can't believe anyone would let a man in women's sports. What is really unbelievable is that some argue that it is fair to allow this. It would be different if it was a coed sport.
@specman Yes. I agree with the common view that trans women should have to be on HRT for at least a year, so they no longer have an advantage over cis women.
This is what the liberals champion. This is progressiveness at it's finest. They defend this and call the rest of us "uneducated, ignorant, deplorable bigots". 😂
@graphite It's sad, because I think you really think you said something really smart and important here 😅 But we can't label this kind of behavior for what it is: uneducated, ignorant and bigoted.
@graphite Wow, you think that @LoneVoice s' post was just about me? It's either that or 10 replies are already to much for you to keep up with what we are talking about.
@helsbels So I can't speak for the UK. The regulations I mentioned are in America, which I agree with. They're also done by international leagues like the Olympics.
Though it seems like the UK is cracking down now. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/04/sport/transgender-women-british-rowing-intl-scli-spt-gbr/index.html
