Transgendered Powerlifter: I’m ‘Still Deciding’ Whether to Compete as a Man or a Woman
Na ^ | 08/01/2015 | Katherine Timpf

he world-record powerlifter formerly known as Matt “Kroc” Kroczaleski, who recently came out as transgender and requested to be called “Janae Marie,” has announced that she’s “still deciding” whether to compete as a man or a woman going forward.

In an interview on TMZ Hollywood Sports this week, Marie said that she is “currently living life in both genders at the moment.”

“I haven’t made any physical changes yet . . . as far as competing as a transgender woman, I’m really unsure about that,” she said.

I’m hesitant because I’m afraid it would do more harm than good. I’m afraid it’s a no-win situation because if I win people will say it’s not fair, it’s cheating and I’m afraid that it would stir up a lot of people protesting against transgender athletes and I would never want to do anything to harm the transgender community,” she added.

Marie also told TMZ that she did not plan to come out so soon but that she was “outed on Monday through a YouTube video,” and so Caitlyn Jenner “didn’t really have an effect” on the decision.

The bodybuilder revealed her gender identity in a post on her new Instagram page Wednesday.

When competing as Matt “Kroc” Kroczaleski, Marie set the the all-time world record in the 220-pound class in 2009 and won the 2006 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic WPO Powerlifting Middle Weight Champion title, according to the bodybuilder’s official website.

Very interesting! The play The Bacchai by Euripides features a character who turns into a woman. I saw it performed at The National Theater in London and it was as powerful a transformation as I've ever seen. Nothing like this freak, btw, which is being solely done to get attention and to win against women. I hope the feministas are happy.

Transgender, the end of women’s sports.

Gosh, who could have foreseen such an outcome?

so if you are not good enough to compete and win as a male then pretend you are a woman and become the world record holder.

What does it matter. Other than the face, she looks masculine. Yuck.

Last week Bruce and his “girls” were discussing politics. Bruce, the Republican, voiced that public assistance was not the answer and people can’t stay on it forever.

The camera caught Bruce’s girl’s shaking their heads. They contend that transgenders have to live on public assistance for life since they are outcasts for life.

Very single one of them was against Bruce and shook their heads at him.

Not one prominent woman has spoken out against this as far as I can see. Hanging out occasionally with liberal women, they offer a muted offense but when pressed by my big mouth, retreat into their politically-correct point of view. I’m in bad taste, don’t you know.

Have you seen Rene Richards recent interviews?

She said she would not change gender again. Says it’s a problem but not solved in this way.

Women’s MMA. I was alarmed to find out that there are highschool girl wrestlers... apparently some of them are pretty good as they can use their naturally different center of mass to an advantage.

Still... women’s MMA? I mean regular MMA is savage enough.

Ok... gotta go... I’m late for my weekly men’s quilting bee.

This reminds me actually of a student I saw at university. In the liberal arts programs, you have tons of trannies and queers all over the place. Some of them make passable trannies up to the point that I did not know they were a dude until they mention it in class (and they always mention it). I just think they’re really ugly women ordinarily. But then there is this one guy. Guy basically looked like Cheech Marin but in drag. I always referred to him as the world’s worst tranny. The guy— and all of them really— also behaved like they had a severe mental disorder. In fact, 9 out of 10 mentioned in classes that they had disorders. One girl claimed she had split personalities, which was why she sometimes came in dressed as a dude. And other times dressed like a dyke. She also spoke like she was constantly in a bad mood, and she rarely came to class. Another one mentioned she/he took medication for some mood disorder. Another one mentioned his frequent suicide attempts. Still another was always cutting herself. The Cheech Marin drag queen never mentioned his particular mental disorder, but I am thinking it is a combination of severe narcissism and crippling inferiority. These usually go together, for some reason.

Compete as a woman.

Women sports are about to turn into a big joke.

Leftists lie, leftists lose, leftists hate.

Our future leaders professors politicians and media people. Can’t even figure out what to do with their own d@cks. It’s all downhill from here, folks.
