Trans 'Woman' Demolishes World Records; Olympian Decries 'Pointless, Unfair Playing Field'
PJ Media ^ | April 29, 2019 | Tyler O'Neill

Posted on 04/30/2019 1:41:32 PM PDT by C19fan

On Sunday, a biological man who identifies as a woman took the Masters world records for women's squat, women's bench press, and women's deadlift. A female Olympian responded by condemning the "pointless, unfair playing field" where biological women are beaten by biological men who identify as transgender women.

"What a day, 9 for 9! Masters world squat record, open world bench record, masters world dl record, and masters world total record!" Mary Gregory posted on Instagram. Gregory thanked the Raw Powerlifting Federation. "As a transgender lifter I was unsure what to expect going into this meet and everyone - all the spotters, loaders, referees, staff, meet director, all made me welcome and treated me as just another female lifter- thank you!"

Could there be another ulterior motive in encouraging “transgender “ athletes?

Its just to make these freaks feel good (at everyone else's expense).

Yep. The Emperor’s New Clothes. So much common sense in classic children’s stories.

As College sports, the Olympics, and Pro-sports are more impacted by this nonsense, the libs will have to find a way to backtrack.

I think much of this is just a stunt to show how stupid this whole transgender nonsense is.

The sad part is that the issue is still given credibility. Notice I used the word "given", because it sure doesn't have any credibility on its own merits.

It’s up to the actual female athletes to stop this nonsense.

The solution is to not segregate sports competitions by male and female.

One competition, both sexes competing. Level playing field?

“As a conservative, I’m just going to sit back and watch this for a while.”

Me too. This is truly interesting.

Martina Navratilova, one of THE pioneer LESBIAN athletes, has said this is madness. She has been ruthlessly attacked by the _GBTQ? as a hater.

Unless the Twitter and Social Media mob is rejected TRUE FEMALE sports will soon disappear. Replaced by a freak show spectacle where MEN dressed as woman enter and dominate every competition.

Imagine a very good boy’s HS soccer player who failing to earn a D1 Men’s Scholarship applying to a D1 college as a Trans “Girl” player. He would get the valuable scholarship and dominate the games he is in. I hope a large number of boys do this in all sports. Highlight absurdity with absurdity.

We all know it’s liberal women that have pushed these issues - I remember telling a few they’ve not thought this one through. Of course nobody listened.

Next we’ll have entire Olympic teams scrambling to get as many “transgenders” on their rosters as possible. It’ll be a wonderful farce to watch, eventually they’re going to have to come to their senses!

I can only imagine an entire volleyball team of dudes in female gear destroying the other team with none.

One would think that having any noteworthy amount of testosterone in your bloodstream would be an advantage in weight lifting when competing against people with just estrogen.

oh you didn't hear...olympic committee last year said they are going more in the direction of athletic moves, not so much grace and artistry...

opens it up to all the males who can't compete against fellow males....

every female should get to the championships and then walk out enmasse if there are bio males participating.....

a mass walk out would wake up the world....

How brazen— this imposter has the gall to gloat in public about his ludicrous “records.”

The Emperor's New Clothes. Back in 1300-1500 there was a social contagion where people believed they were made of glass. One of them was the King of France. He stayed in bed most of the time for fear of breaking. To go anywhere he would have his servants put him in a box stuffed with straw.

This phenomenon went on for 200-300 years! (Yes - it really happened.) I'm guessing this is where the Emperor's New Clothes might have been based on?

Sad though - for those that really do think that they are the opposite sex. It is no more real than having a body made of glass. Although I'm guessing some of these athletes aren't confused at all - they are just doing it to win medals.

And it’s not just world records, but also college and high school records and competitions across the country.

Yes, and one article I read about this was concerning the loss of scholarships that these girls were vying for to help pay for college. Gone.

Maybe throw in synchronized swimming

Synchronized swimming is no longer in the Olympics.

As for figure skating; a lot of points are made by the jumps. Men are doing quads, women sometimes struggle to do the more complicated triples. You get more points for jumps that you do at the end of the program, displaying fitness and stamina. Guys vs. real girls -- who wins that one?
