Even after being on the receiving end of abuse on social media, Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, won silver at the IWF World Weightlifting Championships.

According to New Zealand news website Stuff.co.nz, Hubbard, 39, became the first New Zealander to medal at the world championships in the event’s history, which dates back to 1891, when she finished second behind American Sarah Robles in the super-heavyweights division Tuesday in Anaheim, California. Hubbard lifted a total of 606 pounds while Robles, the first American to win a worlds title since 1994, lifted 626 pounds.

What did they expect?

It’s totally stacked against real females.

He stated that he was to immediately begin training for the Special Olympics.


You mean the "Women's 3 legged Olympics"?

I lost all interest in the “Olympics” some time ago, allowing bull crap like this only reinforces why I won’t waste my time watching any of it. I’m sure they don’t really care what I watch or do not. Same goes for the NFL idiots/fools but then, they don’t care either but they will not get a dime of my money.

"...Maybe childbirth needs to become a new olympic sport..."

ANNOUNCER 1: "Should be an interesting one in the lightweight division today, Susan. Schuster weighed in at 115 lbs, and her baby had an estimated weight of 6 lbs 2 ounces. That puts her at a distinct disadvantage due to her relative size calculation, and her pelvic measurements are very small, even for her size."

ANNOUNCER 2: "Good point, Hal. Of course, this is not her first rodeo. She has competed for the lightweight championship five times already, so her high ratio and low pelvic measurements are offset by her well stretched uterine muscles and increased tolerance to pain, which allows her to bear down harder. She is well known for her legendary finishes."

ANNOUNCER 1: "Yes she is, Susan. She is, of course, the favorite today. She has been the Lightweight Division Champion for the last three years, a record, and criticisms by her competitors that she has an unfair advantage have resulted in the so called "Schuster Rule" which forces retirement after six births, so this will be her last hurrah in competition."

ANNOUNCER 2: "Well, she is an amazing competitor, Hal. She can pop them out nearly as fast as the legendary Soviet Heavyweight competitor Morov Chopyurkokov who weighed in at 245 lbs and captured nine straight titles..."

ANNOUNCER 1: "Oh, yes. Susan, do you remember the year after her eighth title, they had to put new rules into place that mandated there had to be a "catcher" because the baby came out so fast that the baby shot over the finish line and ended up sliding across the floor..."

ANNOUNCER 2: "Of course! And in her final year, they increased the mandatory number of catchers to two, because she popped out a massive 9 lb 5 ounce baby with such velocity resulting in that unfortunate fatality to that lone catcher, her longtime assistant..."

ANNOUNCER 1: "Yes. Well, they ended up naming a competition suite after that catcher. So young, but as we all know, those are the hazards of the sport."

ANNOUNCER 2: "Ah. I can see Schuster has entered the suite to the resounding cheers of the massive crowd!"

ANNOUNCER 1: "She looks fit and ready to go! She is a crowd favorite, because she is considered "old school", no fancy water based techniques, or squatting techniques, she stays in the stirrups from start to finish...and...here we go!"

Let the ts have their own division.

- Real men
- Fake Men
- Real women
- Fake women

That's going to kill their trophy budget - everything is double!

XX or XY Chromosomes determine gender and everything else is a mental disease.

Come to grips with it that you have a mental disease.

Feel free to live as a woman if it makes you feel better, but don’t FORCE EVERYONE ELSE to “accept who you are” when even you won’t accept who you are.

Guess which “female” is Laurel Hubbard. Part of the “glue” that has held the world’s social fabric together for millennia has been the stigma of shame, which established and enforced cultural boundaries and behavioral norms for society as a whole. Deviant antisocial behavior was shamed and ridiculed, thus restricting the emergence of such behaviors to an absolute minimum. Today, however, such condemnation is considered “abusive,” and those who dare to speak the truth are mercilessly savaged. What has changed?

A principal objective of Cultural Marxism is to erase these boundaries and norms to the extent that such things as the mental illness of Gender Dysphoria become little more than disposable social constructs that possess no real meaning. And, the indoctrination of our children begins in elementary school by teaching them to accept the unacceptable and tolerate the intolerable, lest they be ostracized and cast out of the dominant social group, Conformity to the manufactured group-think is essential in deconstructing this fabric.

Is there any rational adult alive who would have ever thought that mentally ill men competing against women in athletic events is a normal or acceptable occurrence? How about transgendered restrooms? Ask your children what they think. You’re likely to be shocked.

Any poor soul who can feed it’s ego using a rigged competition is up for consideration.

Maybe It can find time on it’s calendar to engage a School for the Blind in Marksmanship, or Marco Polo at a School for the Deaf.

The possibilities are endless.

Most Ts are doing some sort of hormone therapy.
