The International Olympic Committee has cleared a transgender athlete to compete in the upcoming Tokyo games.
The IOC ruled Saturday that Laurel Hubbard, 43, who is a biological man, can compete for New Zealand in the women’s weightlifting super-heavyweight category and that her inclusion does not violate the current rules on the books.
She is on track to be the first transgender athlete to ever compete in the games.
“The rules for qualification have been established by the International Weightlifting Federation before the qualifications started,” IOC boss Thomas Bach said during a new conference Reuters reported. “These rules apply, and you cannot change rules during ongoing competitions.”
Bach stressed that the rules were currently under evaluation and would be reviewed at a later date.
Transgender athletes have been officially allowed to compete in the Olympic games as women since 2015.

The idiot New South Wales premier has shut down the entire construction industry.
These State Government Premiers are doing a fantastic job of sending the entire country bankrupt.
sorry, wrong thread.
Do the Nazis now get an A-OK for running Henrich-Dora Ratjen in the 1936 Olympics?
What other things that the Nazis did will soon be considered OK?
My thought also.
Take it further, high scool, college events. If a Trans is allowed to enter a contest, all women simply walk off.
The final nail in the Olympics.
And the bastardization of language by the marxists moves one. Headline should be...
“Man cleared to compete against women”
Fake Olympics.
Not watching.
Yep. They should. 👍
I’m old enough to remember when they tested the Soviet bloc athletes to make sure they were really women.

The statement above is a great example of how demented our society has become - in my lifetime. The Olympics is a really sick joke. Sad that there is not one country calling this out and speaking truth to this sickness.
I loved that show.
Missed that.
Nevertheless my point remains
“Female Weightlifter Suffers Tragic Testicle Injury Just Weeks Before Tokyo Olympics” - The Babylon Bee
Add the Olympics to the long list of things destroyed by the left.
Ohhhhh. Wrong on so many levels.
Sorry about that.. that was supposed to be...
“Sometimes your testicles get in the way,” Hubbard said. “That’s just something we gals have to deal with.”
Oh Wrong on ANY level.........
Can’t wait to see “social justice” when one of those treasonous fems have to go up against one of these mutant freaks.
Indeed. ;-)
Awesome!
Trannies are going to make women's sports exciting and endlessly entertaining!
Embrace it!
If liberals want to force this crap on us, then let's CHEER when trannie WNBA players dunk the sh** outta the bio women on the team. CHEER when trannie boxers pummel the crap outta bio female opponents! CHEER when that loathsome Megan Rapinoe gets replaced by a dude in a dress!
And when some man with a five o' clock shadow and a c*ck between his legs starts breaking women's olympic weightlifting records, I'll be laughing my ass off and hoping he gets the gold!
You want a circus? Let's have one!
Yes...when the Russians refused to run out the clock on that basketball game in the 70s, it’s been all downhill.
