Video shows a bearded Avi Silverberg calmly approach the bench in men's clothing and unofficially break the women's record
Silverberg was protesting rules by the Canadian Powerlifting Union which allow anybody who identifies as a woman to compete in the female category
Silverberg was at the Heroes Classic Powerlifting Meet in Lethbridge in Alberta
********************************************************************
This is the moment a male coach claims to be a woman and smashes the female bench press record at a powerlifting competition in Canada.
Bearded Avi Silverberg is shown calmly approaching the bench in men's clothing as part of a protest against gender self-identification policies in sport.
Silverberg then unofficially breaks the female bench press record for the 84+ kilograms women's category, which was a 270lbs press - officially set by a trans lifter.
The move, which took place Saturday at the Heroes Classic tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta, was apparently designed to protest rules outlined by the Canadian Powerlifting Union.
Silverberg has yet to comment on his decision to enter the contest and subsequent victory.
The Canadian rules allow anybody who self-identifies as a woman to compete in the female category, sparking concerns trans women who've gone through male puberty may have a considerable physical advantage over biological female rivals.
The CPU released its 'trans inclusion policy' in February which was based on guidance from the Canadian Center for Ethics in Sport.

That’s one “handsome” woman...
She’s so courageous!
I am proud.
Taking on the woke agenda is brave, so more power to "her".
Seems fair to me.
I read that in the voice of some NPR announcer. Very funny.
Kudos to Avi Silverberg!
We need much, MUCH more of this to expose and highlight these insanities.
“Silverberg then unofficially breaks the female bench press record for the 84+ kilograms women’s category, which was a 270lbs press - officially set by a trans lifter.”
Love it!
So he broke the “women” record set by another male!
You can’t make this shit up!
“...women who’ve gone through male puberty may have a considerable physical advantage over biological female rivals.”
LOL.
Well, he’s thinking if it’s just him who is winning (assuming he can beat the ladies lol!) he can hand the win over to the best woman golfer.
Personally, I wish a whole bunch of great male golfers would sign up for all of the women’s tournament and do the same, every time. It would throw a wrench into the whole stupid charade.....at least where golf is concerned. It would be great - every tournament, the winner declares on the 17th or 18th that he’s no longer feeling female, drops out, and the deserving lady wins. They’d be heroes.
“Liberalism is a mindless cult. They embrace and espouse anything, regardless how preposterous, that comes out of the cult.”
Mindless is too vague. It doesn’t help pinpoint the problem.
Liberalism is driven by insipid, pathological compassion. By that I mean they’re easily moved by anyone with any grievances or suffering, even if it’s their own fault. Also cause and effect is a foreign concept to them.
So some guy who says he wants to be a woman, that he’s suffering in a man’s body, the “compassionate” liberal is ready to relieve him of his suffering, regardless how insane the request may be, and the consequences.
Because, you see, the last thing a liberal wants to be accused of is being a “hater”.
Good for him.
You get extra credit though.
I am 79, have used women’s room many times and when looked at by ladies I simple state I feel feminine today,and always leave the seat up.
