Libtards are quite proud of a man beating women in weightlifting and their oppression of women, they should be in an asylum.

I'd like to hear from REAL women weightlifters in NZ and ask how THEY feel about this - knowing there is no way they can compete against a biological male.

That's a man, baby.

And anyone who says otherwise is delusional.

Men are taking their places in several sports and taking their trophies as well.

Worse, they're taking their college scholarships.

I fear that women are largely getting what they deserve, and taking the West with them.

Unfortunately this is true - how many of them continue to vote for the Democrat...and this is the result.

Perversion : the alteration of something from its original course, meaning, or state to a distortion or corruption of what was first intended.
God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

This has become an extraordinarily elaborate game of “Make Believe and Let’s Pretend”. Industries and social institutions have all been drawn into this grim little game. One is at risk of losing their livelihood if they dont play this game of Make Believe.

Will it be doing Subway commercials in New Zealand soon?

And how are things in Old Zealand? Don't hear much about that place.

This is not a she.


I remember a commercial.

Is it a car? Or is it a truck?

It’s probably more complex than you are expressing.

In the case of “sports”, I find it particularly odd that women were so easily led with the “grass is always greener” argument to compete in male sports. What we term “sports” have evolved over the centuries to select what is masculine in men. They are really geared to testosterone. It shows in top male athletes. It shows in top female, athletes, now, too.

Whatever selected for the feminine in women has been jettisoned by this communist movement. With it goes the family.

Women athletes can stop this unfair competition. They must simply refuse to participate. Just imagine if nine women and one man freak transgender lined up at the starting line and the pistol went off. Then nine women stood up and slowly walked back to the changing room. This crap would stop!

It’s disrespectful to allow an interloper to breeze in and snatch all the credit away, because of how they “identify”.

Sounds like cultural appropriation to me.

Excellent point. And they had some very deserving choices. You'd think Lisa Carrington would be the most likely:

Sprint canoeist Lisa Carrington won gold medals in the women's K-1 200 metres, K-1 500 metres and with Caitlin Regal in the K-2 500 metres to become New Zealand's most successful Olympian with six medals in all, including five gold medals. Rower Emma Twigg claimed the gold medal in the women's single sculls after finishing fourth in the previous two Games.[5] Rowing pair Kerri Gowler and Grace Prendergast won the gold medal in the women's pair before helping the women's eight win the silver medal. The women's rugby sevens team beat France 26–12 in the final to claim the gold medal, bettering their silver medal at the 2016 Games. wikipedia

But they went with the freak show.

A man gets an award for women.

Where are the feminists?

I got 30 days in Facebook jail for pointing out that Nazi Germany allowed a man(Henrich/Dorah Ratjen) to run as a woman in the 1936 Olympics.
I also mentioned how you could Google German Police Photos of him. I did not give the links as Zuck’s gestapo blocked me in the past from doing it.

So this MAN pretending to be a WOMAN from New Zealand was not the first as the news media claimed.

Zuck seems to have a loving heart on for trannies and gays. You don’t DARE besmirch them!

“Where are the feminists?”

I think “feminist” is a misnomer. Their goal is for women to behave like men; therefore they should more accurately be called “masculinists”.
