I can't really think who my favourtie womens olympic lifter is actually which is mad.

Anyone else got a favourtie?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this one of your ‘it doesn’t affect anyone on here’ statements?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's clearly affected many on here so is a very important issue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Equally, why would a bloke on here be so keen on a biological man taking the place of a biological woman…

I have moved on. We all have to now womens olympic weight lifting is in the bin because they have let a 46 year old post op transgender woman compete.

I have no medical degree and no understanding of the subject but am outraged on behalf of the women whos name I don't even know.

It's not the sport it's the principle of women missing out in their sport because a male beefcake who decided to change his gender a few months ago and still enjoys, and always will enjoy, the benefits of having had male levels of testosterone during development and puberty, even if it's inhibited for a few months. Don't really want to target the person, but the rules are a joke and sexist.

He should be targetted. If he truly gives a fk about his sisterhood he wouldn't be competing in a women's sport that relies purely on strength. He just wants the adulation and the sponsorship. The kiwi's need to sort themselves out.

Don't be so discriminatory, it could be a quim or a cauk

Women's sport isn't taken that seriously as it is—now this will just make a mockery out of it.

Trans rights now trump women's rights—identity politics groups will end up fighting against each other.

It's wrong to target the person, the rules are wrong, I don't think anyone will disagree with that, but it's never acceptable to target someone who is following the rules and is probably going through a very difficult and confusing period in their life.

Some of the stuff on this thread is pretty disgusting tbh.

Most people are questioning the rulemakees of the sport. The individual has done nothing wrong but the fact she's allowed into the competition is what makes a mockery of it

The TG athlete shouldn't have entered the competition. She will know the advantage she has having gone through male puberty, so I look at this as a purely selfish act. Additionally, the rules should be changed to only allow TG athlete's who haven't gone through male puberty to make it a level playing field.

So why can't he take a bit of responsibility and decide not to to compete with the women. He knows full well the advantage he's got. He should be competing with the men. There's no argument then. Sympathy with what ever he's going through obviously but then go home and sort your head out. It's a bad decision.

"So a non-issue basically."


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Genuinely happy to read any data or white papers you have that say otherwise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
im sure the female who lost her place in the Olympics to this bloke will agree its a "non-issue"


----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not a bloke and it's fine if you can't find anything.

Fred, you seem very interested in this transgender stuff. Are you testing the waters before deciding whether to go for the change?

And which sport is it that you want to gatecrash?

Knowing winnifred, it's going to be baseball

Robbing putting on an excellent show as usual.

Shouldn’t be allowed to compete against women, we all know why.

Separate leagues / competitions should be created, simple. Then if trans women want to fight, deadlift, race against trans men and vice versa, they can do. But Ursula Bolt? Evangelica Holyfield or Brooke Lesnar? No thanks.

Can you imagine what Brooke Lesnar would do to a bunch of female MMA fighters? 7 of them would get laughed at and destroyed.

My favourite part of the whole Hubbard story is the 2019 Pacific Games.
Hubbard, a white New Zealander and son of a millionaire business owner and politician won gold in the snatch category.
The woman who won silver was an indigenous Samoan teenager who came from an impoverished background and started weightlifting whilst in a refuge having escaped from physical and sexual abuse.

Imagine just 10 years ago saying that "progressives" would back the white wealthy middle-aged ruling class male over the female indigenous teenage sexual abuse survivor. Nobody would believe you.

It's one of those situations which has just cemented my idea that the majority of humans aren't even sentient. You have to be so inconceivably dumb to believe that this is fair that you'd probably attack your own reflection.

This will probably be better for sports. Woman's sports are a boring sh#t shows in general. It'll be slightly more entertaining if bunch of ex blokes are competing.

I support transgender inclusion in just about anything - except inclusion of trans women in women's professional sport. Considering all the relentless negativity in the discourse surrounding trans people and trans rights, I just struggle to understand trans people who are determined to play female professional sports. It's obviously extremely controversial and just strikes me as a remarkably self-serving, selfish, self-destructive thing to do which draws needless resentment in public discourse. If I were trans, I'd see not playing female sports as a very small price to pay to live my life and be embraced by the broader public.
