History and controversy is expected to be made at the Tokyo Olympics this summer after the transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard was effectively guaranteed a place in the women’s super heavyweight category.
While the 43-year-old has not yet been named in the New Zealand team, an International Weightlifting Federation insider confirmed to the Guardian that she would automatically qualify because of amended rules approved by the International Olympic Committee.

The insider said that while teams did not have to be named until 5 July, under the new qualification rules, which had come into effect after several competitions were lost because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Hubbard was sure of a place in Tokyo if fit.

It is puzzling, isn't it? We in the West accept it, even though its promoted by an aggressive political minority. But in other countries of the world, even fewer support, if anyone supports this nonsense, and I think many see it as a form of modern imperialism.
Actually, per the article, 15 can. He’s ranked 16th among the women competitors.
Well, the Olympic used to be all men. I guess we are getting back to that.
I won’t be watching.
Well, it looks like at least he tried to shave his pits.
It has to be on the women to make that stand, and they’re quiet as churchmice.
“ This is insane. When is anyone going to stand up to these obnoxious wicked perverts and say no?”
You have to laugh at them and ridicule the very notion of trannyism. It may not be that nice a thing to do, but it will have to be done to put a stop to this. The time for niceties is over.
“I actually like this very much.
Making the stupid libs live by the rules they created themselves.”
I agree. See libs lose competitions, scholarships, etc. Given that women are more likely to be liberal, there is some schadenfreude to all this.
For the girls who try hard and just want to compete, I feel badly for them, but this all isn’t going away without some real pain.

make history as the biggest embarrassment.
Can he beat the Press sisters?
So everything is going to be a bunch of men competing?
Any women crossing over into the mens competitions? Yeah, it doesn’t work in that direction.
This is insane. When is anyone going to stand up to these obnoxious wicked perverts and say no?
Too many people are afraid of the left, and afraid of what the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, et. al. will say about them. Too many people are afraid of being called “transphobic” and “homophobic” and all the other liberal phobias. So that’s why too many people stay silent on these issues.
Maybe not rhythmic gymnastics. Doesn’t take a lot of muscle to wave a ribbon on a stick.
They used to test East German female athletes for testosterone before Olympic events. I guess such testing is now a thing of the past.
Question - how come it’s becoming more common to see men ‘change’ and move to female sports, but I have (personally) not seen a case where a woman ‘changes’ and moves into a male dominated sport.
If ‘it doesn’t make a difference what one was born as’ then I’d expect to see a 50:50 or thereabouts distribution.
But, for some reason, it’s only ‘former’ men moving into female sports.
….must be due to some advantage ….
Great,great film! That’s a guy dressed up like a sheila! Another great scene was with the hookers....”I guess we’ll just have to give you a free one”....”one what?”
