A biological male weightlifter competing as a woman in the Commonwealth Games lost the gold medal after trying to lift far more weight than was needed for victory. Laurel Hubbard, formerly known as Gavin Hubbard before “transitioning” into a female identity five years ago, was expected to easily defeat Australian weightlifter Deb Lovely-Acason in the finals of women’s 90kg-plus weightlifting Monday.
Competing for the New Zealand team, Hubbard suffered a “horror elbow injury” when attempting to set a personal and Commonwealth record by lifting 132 kg (291 lbs). Hubbard was already far ahead of the nearest adversary, Feagaiga Stowers of Samoa, who had lifted 113kg. After Hubbard’s injury, Stowers went on to win the gold medal.

Karma is a *itch. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

The Samoan coaches protested the presence of a biological male competing as a woman weightlifter, suggesting that despite his/her chosen gender identity he/she still has the anatomy and strength of a male. Check it out! The Samoan coaches have brains!

Transitioning from an ugly male loser . . . to an ugly male loser pretending to be female. Still ugly. Still a loser. Still (sorry liberals, but telling a lie enough times does not make it true) male.

It must have been a clean and jerk. Male weightlifters can’t do a snatch.

I think “freak accident” would apply to any accident involving this person.
Also, how bad can any injury really be once you’ve already gone through getting your dick and balls cut off?
