WELLINGTON, June 21 (Reuters) - Transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard has been selected as part of the New Zealand women's team for the Tokyo Olympic Games, the country's Olympics committee said on Monday.

Hubbard, who competed in men's competitions before transitioning in 2013, will become the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics after weightlifting's governing body modified qualifying requirements for Tokyo.

If the committee allows this guy to compete in the women’s competition it will be a disaster. Which team in the future is not going to stock up on trans males?

Should be disqualified or put in an “It” category.

I quit watching the olympics after 1980. The Olympics in the 1960’s and 70’s were great to watch on ABC, after that the coverage was terrible and over the top, NBC was the worst with Bob Costas.

Exactly! Apply the same testing from the 80's. Nothing has changed.

Other female athletes on weightlifting teams should consider boycotting. They should shown up but then forfeit the medal to the athlete in question.

The US should name a backhoe to the US Olympic Weightlifting team.

Well, I for one won’t be watching. Last Olympian weightlifter I watched was in 76... Alekseyev

Wonder what would happen if the women competing all decided to be no shows. I doubt that they will but that’s the only way to send a message that this is totally stupid.

Olympics is going to become all male. Unless they quit this.

Fine I guess. If that’s what the the world majority wants.

I’d hope for a non woke olympics to start up. I’d watch. I’d watch lots of non woke sports. If offered.

The regular olympics might still have women in gymnastics and ice skating but I doubt even that. Women are out. As far as I can see
