USA Powerlifting bans all trans women from competing as women

JayCee Cooper won a state women’s title after being barred from competing as a woman at USA Powerlifting events.

USA Powerlifting has banned all transgender women from competing as women, even as a trans powerlifter in Minnesota recently won a state championship with another association, setting a state record.

JayCee Cooper, a trans woman, had applied last year to compete in a recent USA Powerlifting event in Minnesota. In December her application was denied.

“Male-to-female transgenders are not allowed to compete as females in our static strength sports as it is a direct competitive advantage,” wrote USAPL Therapeutic Use Exemptions Committee Chair Kristopher Hunt in an email to Cooper.

Hunt followed up with Cooper in January with this explanation:

“Transgender male to female individuals having gone through male puberty confer an unfair competitive advantage over non-transgender females due to increased bone density and muscle mass from pubertal exposure to testosterone.”

I can’t even begin to describe my feelings toward some son-of-a-bitch male who masquerades as a woman in order to beat real women in their sports.

Yep. No way will the liberals allow this ruling to stand. It’ll be gone in a month.

This is disappointing. The good news is that it won’t stand. The Left will get this overturned. The faster they destroy institutions like women’s sports, the quicker the NPC’s wake up.

That’s an interesting angle, you may have it right. If previous posters are correct, Obama judges will overrule this soon, and what you ask for will occur.

I’ll tell you what they didn’t like him lifting.

They didn’t like him lifting the toilet seat and not putting it back down.

I’ve thought about it every time I hear of these “Trans Women” winning anything among women... how the hell can they have any pride winning, knowing the reality of the situation... smh...

Glad some sense made it to the arena!

They are not going to quit until they ruin EVERYTHING and take it all down with them so that nobody has it anymore.

Heteros need to mass invade their crap and ruin it the same way.

It is happening in high school sports more and more. I laugh about it because these same liberals go on and on about equality and whatnot and then some dude crossdresser kicks her daughters ass in sports.

Don't forget the expected emphatic, profuse, over the top apologies as well.

Absolutely right. Any male that would do that has to be the most toxic male ever. Can’t win on your own turf? Pretend you are woman and go beat them. What a pathetic little man, no matter how much he can lift.
