A professional female powerlifter announced she is facing a two-year suspension after making remarks about transgender athletes in the sport.

"'BREAKING: I now face a 2-year ban by the CPU for speaking publicly about the unfairness of biological males being allowed to taunt female competitors & loot their winnings," professional powerlifter for Canada, April Hutchinson, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Apparently, I have failed in my gender-role duties as 'supporting actress' in the horror show that is my #sport right now."

You mean she didn’t sign up to compete against men?

she should file a civil rights lawsuit, as well as sue the organization and the man involved for sex discrimination.

If this is what “they” have to do for acceptance, then it might not be worth playing their game.

They want to suspend the women from women’s sports and bring in the men to women’s sports.

Canada is pretty much a lost cause at this point - but America is not far behind.

I can only laugh at this nonsense.

We are seeing the inevitable consequence of modern feminism. If women want to be equal to men, then they have no business competing separately in sports.

#WINNING.

Love it! She's one smart, well spoken woman!

It's Canada, a lost cause. I'm hoping this woke support for the evil, medieval Hamas brings the global demise of "woke."

I get the entire gender denial destruction of women’s sports, but I need to back up even further and question the entire notion of ladies participating in certain sports. That would include powerlifting. The root of a lot of these problems began with feminism, which I always found as such a odd moniker since there is very little feminine about feminists. You can call me male chauvinist pig if you wish, but it’s not going to change my preference for females to be ladies. By the way, female powerlifters are not feminine and hence not ladies.

That a great line.

April Hutchinson is going to take a hit here. But the only way this nonsense will stop is if biological women refuse to compete with men.

Hmm…maybe there is another solution. Perhaps real women should just leave these sick, insanely woke organizations and form new organizations. Or would these new organizations be sued out of existence?

All biological women should boycott all competitive events that allow the participation of men posing as women.

I do not understand why they are not doing that.

The female gymnastics movie "Stick It" precisely targets the unfair judging practices. The competitors get their revenge by having all but their favored competitor in each event do something to lose points. The result is the winner is "picked" by the competitors, not the judges.
