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.)

I’ll bet she’s hung like a moose. But I don’t wanna check for sure.
Notice how the media dutifully calls him "she" and "her", just like Bradley Manning. HE has XY chromosomes, therefore HE is a MALE. It doesn't matter if HE puts on a size 28 dress and chokes down whatever hormones day and night, HE is a MALE, God made HIM that way, and HE is not going to change that by taking hormones or chopping off body parts. In every institution, every little thing is driven by "How will the trannies deal with this?" As a result, we have to reset the entire world to satisfy 50 sexually confused leftist whackos or we're bad people. I'm glad the women are finally getting sick of this crap. If I was in a sport and this kind of ineligible ringer was allowed to compete, I would vote with my feet. No sport is that important. I'd spend my spare time doing my own thing like hiking or whatever. Who needs this crap?
It’s time to stop using gender names and use either sex organs or chromosomes. Can’t identify having a vagina if you don’t have one or as a male with X chromosomes. Same thing with men’s/women’s rest rooms. For sports, blood tests for chromosomes and it’s done. Also means real females stay in their lane with boys sports, and this sports equality crap ends. And the best part, the “ mental condition” of identification ends. You my have tits, but if you still have a Y chromosome, too bad Barbara. You are on the Y team!
This is like an MLB pro getting into a city baseball league, smashing homeruns, and just destroying everybody. How the hell do you feel good about doing that? Congrats, buddy, you’re doing a large part of destroying women’s sports. Now we’re going to see you cry to the media about getting your titles vacated and banned from the sport. You’re going to cry even harder when nobody gives a crap about your plight. Hit the road, Jack. You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.
I disagree. It's not about what parts you have, it's about what chromosomes you have. Make everybody take a DNA test. XX, you're in the women's division. XY, you're in the men's. No exceptions. Don't like it? Go play pool at the local gay-bar.
I need more popcorn.
Sounds like they simply kicked the can. Their reasoning basically said that until a person mutilates themselves, it won’t count. Even men who mutilate themselves will have an advantage. It’s all about the DNA and bone and muscle structure. It never goes away.
Have you seen it?
Couldn’t help myself....I bet you are correct.
