A transgender man is suing a strength competition for $2.5 million after CrossFit denied him the right to compete against women.
Chloie Jonnson, who was born male, wants to test his brawn against female athletes in the CrossFit Games, a grueling series of contests designed to find the world's most fit competitors. When a female rival raised questions about Jonnson being considered a woman, CrossFit said he must compete as a man.
Jonnson had a sex-change operation in 2006 and is legally recognized in the state of California as a woman. Incensed, he filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against the fitness company.
CrossFit said that it is happy to do its part to assure that transgender competitors are "welcomed with open arms in this community, but what we will not waver from is our commitment to ensure the fairness of the competition."
Chloie says that view violates California's anti-discrimination laws. The company says Jonnson's assertion violates common sense.

There goes Title IX.
The irony of LBGTA rights is that it ends up hurting women.
Normal girls are pushed out of the homecoming queen roll by admin and politically correct kids who elect a homosexual or “transgender”.
“Transgenders”, even if they’ve had the plumbing altered”, retain the superior musculature of their male development. They overwhelmingly beat women in women’s sports. This is absolutely the case if a male who says he identifies as female competes. The women lose to a non-woman, in an unfair competition.
Promotion of homosexuality puts “breeders” in a second class status, hurting women who have children more than fathers.
The idealization of same sex love demotes love between the sexes. From Greek culture to modern Islam (where pederasty is acceptable), women become property or chattel, always less than the love between male equals.
The company says Jonnson’s assertion violates common sense.
Case closed you go home now.
BINGO! I think eventually, this will be the solution. A pedigree of hybrids.
It makes me want to vomit.
How can a man mutilate himself like that?
I’ll take perennial winner Annie Thorisdottir from Iceland, please, or Stacie Tovar. The competitor you pictured is from California and is always battling for one of the top three or four positions. I can’t remember her name.
You sure it wasn’t Mike Ditka?
If’n IT has a Y chromosome, IT ain’t no woman.
I'm more on the Camille Leblanc-Bazinet train personally...
As to this thing's lawsuit--he's gonna lose this handily. CrossFit is all about comparing apples to apples in order to maintain data integrity with respect to performance capabilities. Allowing this guy to compete against girls will throw the integrity of the experiment all out of whack. Glassman and Castro would likely burn the place to the ground before they'd allow that to happen.
Also, I just checked the CrossFit Open leaderboard, and while the search function recognized the name, there are no results for the first two weeks of the Open. Did CFHQ kick him out of the Open? Did he even register this year?
Annie is cute, and she seems very nice.
I like watching the games. I think Future Snake Eater has a CF Games ping list, or at least he has pinged me before for his CF threads.
just being sarcastic, hope u didn’t take me for real. leftists always complain about fairness.
c’mon 7 of 9 was a babe.
DECEMBRUARY
‘Hard to say.’
Probably not hard at all.
Ms. Swan would have something to say about this.
Just have a transgender competition with only transgenders.
A male competition
A female completion
A transgender competition
Everyone served and no discrimination.
Heaven help this poor company if they say it’s because of the Christian beliefs.
The word for today is: EUNUCH!

: a man or boy deprived of the testes or external genitals.
