Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s comments have gotten her into hot water recently, but she also said something that largely slipped under the radar – that it’s a “myth” and “unscientific” that transgender women have a “direct competitive advantage” in women’s powerlifting. Omar wrote a letter to USA Powerlifting after it refused to let a transgender women enter a Minnesota competition. “I urge you to reconsider this discriminatory, unscientific policy and follow the example of the International Olympic Committee,” she said. “The myth that transgender women have a ‘direct competitive advantage’ is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk committees in the world.”

Men, and they are biological men even if they want to think they are women, have a huge advantage over women in strength. Women are better at endurance, but that is still no compensation in most sports...particularly lifting...that require strength.
And why are blacks, Muslims and leftists suddenly all getting behind the faux “transgender” craze? I’m genuinely puzzled, because I wouldn’t have expected such an alliance for such a dubious and unrelated cause.
Suffering Sucotash!
I cannot believe we are having these conversations in 2019!!!!!!!!!!
HOW DID PEOPLE GET THIS STUPID???????????
I am over 60. In relatively good shape.
I am going to join the women’s Olympics because I can already lift more than their top gold medal winner I bet
Maybe she is not stupid. Perhaps she has a different agenda. Perhaps she is trying to accelerate the decline and create more problems. Divided societies are easier for the Muslims to conquer.
The real myth is that Islam is a religion of peace.
