Transgender Female to Compete as Weightlifter in Olympics -- Never Competed in Weightlifting as a Male

Tell me a story about how it’s just about letting little boys compete in sports using the gender identity that they are most comfortable with.

New Zeland transgender female weight lifter Laurel Hubbard, who lived life for 35 years as a man, will likely participate in this summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo as a 43-year-old female weightlifter.

Hubbard finished 2nd in the 2017 World Championships in the Women’s Super Heavyweight division, but a serious elbow injury in 2018 put his/her career in jeopardy.

Under the revamped qualifying rules announced earlier this week due to the inability of most countries to have qualifying competitions, Hubbard will automatically be included as New Zealand’s only entry in the Super Heavyweight Division if New Zealand decides to nominate Hubbard to be part of its Olympic Team. At 43 years old, Hubbard would be the oldest weightlifter competing in Tokyo.

Coming back from the injury, Hubbard is ranked only 16th in the world at this time, but six weightlifters higher in the rankings will not be competing in Tokyo because only one entry is permitted from each country. Hubbard finished 6th in the most recent world championships held in 2019, but three of the top five weightlifters who finished higher will not be competing in Tokyo. As a consequence, Hubbard is considered a strong candidate for a medal.

So — a simple matter of “equity” to allow an individual who identifies as a woman to be allowed to compete in a sporting competition on the basis of gender self-identification.

Except for one small matter: Hubbard quit competing against men more than 20 years ago, and never competed at the international level as a man.

The ONLY basis upon which Hubbard is able to be involved at the Olympic level, and be a factor in the medal race, is because he’s something no other person in the competition is — he’s a biological male.

While identifying as a male he lacked the talent or physical ability, but as a self-identified female Hubbard suddenly is a world-class athlete — albeit well past one’s physical prime — who can compete at the absolute pinnacle of the sport on an international level.

Hubbard is unlikely to win a gold medal as the top Super-Heavyweight female in the world is a Chinese lifter whose record-best combined lift is quite a bit higher than Hubbard’s. So Hubbard winning a medal will likely be treated as little more than a novelty.

But, as I have written before, the novelty will wear off when some crazy foreign leader like Kim Jong-un decides to send an entire transgender team to compete in a high profile event like Women’s soccer or basketball and they win the gold medal over a first world country’s highly favored squad composed of only biological females.

Let the Games Begin!!!

(Editor’s Note: As usual, South Park pointed out the ridiculousness of biological males participating in women’s sports.)

I thought that the Olympic Committee had said they would not allow these freaks...

[libh8er]

This female will have the enviable advantage of two testicles pumping out testosterone, aiding muscle growth.

[napscoordinator]

Until a lot of females lose scholarships to these freaks, nothing will change.

[oldbrowser]

In order to simplify this why don’t we just classify everyone as human beings in all sports, jobs, whatever, and let the most qualified get the title.

[EvilCapitalist]

This thread is better-off without pictures.

I won’t be watching...or caring.Not for a minute.

The South park episode referenced with commentary by a tranny.:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/south-park-mocks-trans-athletes-1254732/

“On Thursday, Rachel McKinnon, a transgender world track cycling champion, called the episode “lazy” and said Parker and Stone are, in fact, transphobic.

“I’m not particularly mad about the South Park episode,” she said via Twitter. “Yes it’s transphobic. Yes it’s lazy. Yes it contributes to harm to trans women and girls. But they’re lazy and increasingly irrelevant. F**k, Futurama made the same stupid storyline in 2003. Transphobes don’t have new jokes.”

She continued, “South Park has been deeply transphobic the *entire time.* This isn’t their first explicitly transphobic story line. It won’t be their last. Stone and Parker are transphobes. Write them off. Ignore their lazy show.”

There are videos of silly little college feminists refusing to admit that men have a biological advantage in strength. They will not admit. Ever. These are “educated” people who think that if there is one woman on the planet who is stronger than bone man, then biology doesn’t real.

You see, everyone is exactly the same; only socialization creates differences. This is the end result of a certain group influencing scientific inquiry for the last 150 years. Franz Boas and Steven J. Gould are prominent examples. If that makes you uncomfortable, throw in Margaret Mead. These people drilled it into the heads of countless students: everyone is exactly the same, nothing is biological (except maybe skin color and the evil nature of white people), and so on.

There is nothing at all keeping Megan Rappinoe from trying out for the World Cup team instead of the Women’s World Cup team. There is no “men’s” team.

Can I put some money on who will win the gold in “women’s” weightlifting? The Olympics are essentially saying that steroids don’t work. This is all Clown World. Honk honk!!

[Boiler Plate]

Well at least it’s not a Bikini Contest.

[Glad2bnuts]

Paging Tonya Harding......do you have any homey hookups into weightlifting?

This is what should have happened to IT a long time ago. A sock filled with bars of soap and a weightlifter covered in a blanket. Figure out the rest of it yourself girls.

The abnormals are on both sides

Women just are crying now because to be “tolerant” now impacts them negatively.

Women were te biggest pushers of tolerating gays and lesbians and all other sorts of freaks. When it impacts them though now they complain and want to be saved from their own demands they shoved on everyone else. Be nice. Be tolerant. Thats just how they are. They wont bother you. Just let them be. They have rights too. Be more open minded. You’re just a typical man wanting to “deal” with them with fists.

[LibWhacker]

No problem. Let "her" go up against Nataliya Kuznetsova, who would kick her faggoty a$$. Or this other roided out female:

[kaila]

I hope he wins the gold. Let’s watch the outcry.

[Republican Wildcat]

I heard Dennis Prager discussing this earlier and he said he hope he wins everything - I agree - show this absurdity for what it is. And he probably will.

[exinnj]

“Transgender female” is a verbal construct meaning “mentally ill male”.

[The Right Edge]

SICK!

[T.B. Yoits]

He might be going to the Olympics to enter events but there’s nothing competitive about it.

[fwdude]

Trans-female = FAKE “female”

Let’s just get that straight.
