Transgender powerlifter stripped of world records
Quote: US transgender powerlifter Mary Gregory was stripped of records she set last month at a national competition after a doping test revealed that the athlete “was actually a male in the process of becoming a transgender female.”

Gregory broke four women's world records during the competition in the squat, bench press and deadlift disciplines as well as total record in her weight class.

Following the event, Gregory thanked the US Powerlifting Federation for allowing her to take part in the competition as a female lifter.

However, the federation didn’t share enthusiasm over Gregory’s record-breaking performance after the obligatory doping control proved that the athlete should have performed in men’s category.

“The lifter exceeded the current female world records in this lifter’s age and weight category. This automatically calls for drug testing protocol which takes place at the end of every event. The drug testing coordinator for this event performed the drug test at which time it was revealed that this female lifter was actually a male in the process of becoming a transgender female,” the federation said in a statement.

“Our rules, and the basis of separating genders for competition, are based on physiological classification rather than identification. On the basis of all information presented to the Board of Directors for this particular case, the conclusion made, is that the correct physiological classification is male.”

The US powerlifting governing body annulled Gregory’s records admitting that the athlete should not have competed against women.

“Since the lifter’s gender classification for the purpose of our rules is not consistent with female, no female records will be broken by these lifts,” the statement reads.

She gets to keep her record for 8.5 inch clitoris though!

Never should have been competing anyway. No amount of transition is enough to make him female enough to compete fairly against women. He simply has an advantage due to bone structure. This needs to stop NOW.

RE: Transgender powerlifter stripped of world records
I've said before, we need to have two classes:

Women - for genetic females only
Open - for men and anyone else

If you're a woman good enough to compete with men, then good for you, you go girl.
If you're a man not good enough to compete with men, sucks to be you.

Agreed.

But some people will have an issue with how you worded the first classification.. But I agree if you were born on paper as a female, you can only compete as a female, no altered birth certificates.

I would say it differently, if you are born a male then you can compete only as a male. I have no problem with females competing with males, if they are good enough.

Common sense wins out finally even though it took a test to determine what ones eyes should readily affirm.

Absolutely.

Just because someone "identifies" as a female doesn't mean they are on from a physical standpoint.

A guy can be as transgendered as they want to be, but physiology doesn't change.

Why a classification exclusive to females, but not one exclusive to males?

This is ruining the HS sports in areas already, cause the feckless Boards and Admins don't have the stones to, or likely even the broader consideration of what this is doing, to simply say-

NO.


You showed up here for 9th grade as a reasonably well adjusted, bright young man, you ain' now running Girls track and field or soccer or swimming now as a 11th grade girl. 05-nono

Why not
Men
Women
Co-ed/open? If competing in either of the two above, not eligible for Open.

Then they shower and dress in the appropriate lockers room regardless where they competed.

I guess because I'm just a magnanimous male who is not sexist. I really do appreciate women who can compete with men. My step-granddaughter has played cornerback and wide receiver on her junior high football team the last two years. I totally applaud that.
