USA Powerlifting bans all trans women from competing as women
USA Powerlifting ban

Quote:USA Powerlifting has banned all transgender women from competing as women, even as a trans powerlifter in Minnesota recently won a state championship with another association, setting a state record.

JayCee Cooper, a trans woman, had applied last year to compete in a recent USA Powerlifting event in Minnesota. In December her application was denied.

“Male-to-female transgenders are not allowed to compete as females in our static strength sports as it is a direct competitive advantage,” wrote USAPL Therapeutic Use Exemptions Committee Chair Kristopher Hunt in an email to Cooper.

Hunt followed up with Cooper in January with this explanation:

“Transgender male to female individuals having gone through male puberty confer an unfair competitive advantage over non-transgender females due to increased bone density and muscle mass from pubertal exposure to testosterone.”

It seems like the tide is turning. People are getting wise to the nonsense.

We can only hope this is the case.

But, but, but

That's not possible! We're all equals! I should be lining my slow ass up against Brady and Shaq-Daddy!

Who's gonna tell me I'm wrong? Mens=womyns. Womyns=mens. This hybrid eclipse's either, each or both.

My solution. Two divisions, one for genetic women, one open to all. If you are a woman who can compete against men, more power to you. If you are a man who can't, sucks to be you.

I remember one year when the old Esquire magazine Dubious Achievement Awards gave one to Renee Richards (MTW transexual tennis player) for being the number one mixed singles player in the world.

USA powerlifting, AOC and omar constantly making fools of themselves, Governor "coonman", infanticide, alt-left rage bait media (vice, buzzfeed, huffpo) collapsing, Schultz coming out and admitting the dems have gone insane, and threatening to run 3rd party to make sure they don't win, everyone seeing through the hoax hate crimes.. that's just off the top of my head in the past week.

Things are looking up.

Well sure... except that they cant and they never will be able to.

Example 1) The US Womens Olympic Hockey Team which I believe won gold (so is the best in the world), lost to a male high school hockey team. Source: http://nesn.com/2014/01/u-s-womens-olymp...w-england/

Yes they won against two other high school hockey teams, but we are talking about games between professional female Olympic athletes to regular high school males...

It gets even worse. Example 2) The US Womens Soccer team, one of the best in the world. Lost to an U-15 boys team in Texas in 2017.
https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-...scrimmage/

Example 3) The Williams sisters, arguably two of the best female tennis players ever, once challenged a male Tennis player. One guy took them up on the offer.
He was ranked 203rd in the world. He won 6-2 and 6-1.

https://www.marca.com/en/more-sports/201...b464c.html

Women will never be able to compete against men in a sport that requires strength and endurance.

Then so be it. Not our job to fix that.

If they can, let them. If not, no. It's like the military lowering standards to get women into elite combat units. That's going to get people killed.

Quote: The North American Grappling Association has revised their gender identity policy after a 135lbs female jiu-jitsu athlete was matched to compete against a 200lbs trans-identified male.

James "Alice" McPike took home silver in the women's category.[url=https://t.co/NEhNZxr6iThttps://t.co/NEhNZxr6iT[/url]

Forcing female athletes to compete against the mentally deranged doesn't seem kosher.

I was surprised to see the date of this original posting. Have we really been dealing with these issues for so many years now? Looks to me like the tranny's have won along with every other mentally deranged individual claiming asylum from what was once normal society, and worse, it's being granted to them.

Why not one division for genetic women and one for genetic men?
