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.

Maybe but there is something fun about a woman saying “Men don’t know what it’s like to have a baby” and someone shoots back “Wrong”.

Its already come to a sort of intimidation for me I did not want to say straight up.

That is the way she approaches everyone, *IN YOUR FACE*

Might I say here to Freepers, now we have a really weird situation, and the progressive company says oh dont be silly you......

New headline: “Delusional Male Chops Dick, Wins Prize That He Didn’t Deserve”

This is a man, not a woman. Males are, on average, much stronger than women. The left would rather die than admit that, but it’s true.

This situation exposes the inherent contradiction in all this transgender crap, but a true leftist is happy with the contradiction.

The left wants it both ways: separate teams for men and women, and men who pose as women on the women’s team.

I think it’s great! Right before our eyes is the proof that this transgender crap and the Title 9 crap is nothing but bull.

Allowing men to complete in women sports will effectively end women sports for real women. Looking for a war on women? Look no further then the Democratic party.

There she is, Miss America
There she is, your ideal
The dream of a million girls who are more than pretty can come true
in Atlantic City
For she may turn out to be the Queen of femininity

There she is, Miss America
There she is, your ideal
With so many beauties she took the town by storm
With her all-American face and form

And there she is
Walking on air, she is
Fairest of the fair, she is
There she is - Miss America

After seeing that picture at the top of the article, I looked for a later picture of the “woman” in question. That is the silver medalist. Apparently, in this case, being “trans” doesn’t extend beyond the name.

excuse me but that is not a she. It is a he who takes medication. It does not have the chromosomes to be a she.

Our girl beat their guy. If he’s going to pass as a woman, he could at least wear make up.

A biological male can outperform most biological women at a feat of strength....

I feel for the the bronze and 4th place competitor that had their medals stolen by this fraud.
