Trans Powerlifter Stripped Of Titles In Women’s Championships
Hot Air ^ | May 11, 2019 | Jazz Shaw

This is the latest in our apparently endless series of stories covering the destruction of competitive women’s sports by the introduction of “transgender women” into the events. This time we’re back to the sport of weightlifting. A transgender powerlifter named Mary Gregory recently “dominated” the field at a Powerlifting Federation competition last month, smashing four world records for that weight class in the process. This had the actual women competing in the event understandably upset and protests were lodged. But after an investigation was conducted, the federation chairman posted an announcement saying that the record lifts were being taken off the books. (Pink News)

100% Raw Powerlifting Federation president Paul Bossi said the group has stripped Gregory of her wins because he believes she is male.

“It was revealed that this female lifter was actually a male in the process of becoming a Transgender female,” Bossi said in the statement.

“Our rules, and the basis of separating genders for competition, are based on physiological classification rather than identification.

“On the basis of all information presented to the Board of Directors for this particular case, the conclusion made, is that the correct physiological classification is male.”

The federation is clearly trying to tiptoe their way around the subject here to avoid backlash from the social justice warriors and their allies in the media. They’re taking great pains to insist that Gregory is a woman if he wishes to identify that way, but the federation’s rules are not based on gender identity, but rather biological sex. And even though Gregory was taking estrogen and testosterone blockers for eleven months, that didn’t make him biologically female. (You only need to look at the pictures in the linked article to see that those hormone treatments didn’t have much of an effect.)

( HE ) should sue, I wanna see the left get their nose rubbed into the dirt some more.

I think the “Male-ification” of Female sports is the biggest red pill for any normal girl in high school and college!

a male in the process of becoming a Transgender female

So if the transformation was complete, the answer would be different? This sounds like a "case by case, depending on how much noise actual women make" ruling.

And why is Transgender capitalized? It doesn't seem proper, so there must be another reason.

Even if “she” did not have a penis, “she” would still be a male.
Eunuchs do not have testicles, they are still males.

Brace yourself for incoming. The trans lobby doesn't take too kindly to those who don't buy in to their delusions.

How long before Bossi offers a heartfelt apology and gives tranny dude his titles back?

Note that the title was not stripped because the “Mary” Gregory is a male - merely because this guy Paul Bossi believes that to be the case, because the “Cutadickoffofme” procedure had not yet been completed.

In other words if this man had had his male genitalia removed he would still have been eligible for these records, even though he would still have the bone and muscle structure of a male.

Gender is Biological, Objective and Binary. If that fact is not being acknowledged female athletes still have a major problem.

Good on them! My daughter is an athlete, and she’s very upset about suddenly having to compete with men. Men are simply stronger, have more muscle mass, and that’s what God wanted...but now that we’re doing stuff that clearly doesn’t come from God, I guess these freaks and their supporters expect the laws of physics to be revoked too.

"The Lady Penis - This season’s must-have accessory for the modern woke woman."

The procedure is called an addadictome.

“He’ll sue and win with today’s courts.”

I think this insanity has about run its course. If allowed to continue there will be no actual women competing in sports. At some point a judge will say, enough. (We are undergoing a cultural hysteria. Those don’t last. People recover and wonder how they could have ever been so stupid. At some point even a liberal gay judge will have to say, “What about the rights of the women?”)

Tell a Marine who had his penis blown off in war that he’s not a man. If transgenderism is so natural, why was it not possible at any time in human history until the “miracle” of modern “medicine?”

"...the group has stripped Gregory of her wins because he believes she is male."

If Mary Gregory believes she is a female, she is a female, dammit.
If Mary believes he/she/it is a Ford pickup truck, then Mary Gregory is a Ford pickup truck.
