Transgender weightlifter wins two gold medals in women's competition
Washington Times ^ | July 15, 2019 | Vixtor Morton

The transgender conquest of women’s sports continued over the weekend as a New Zealand weightlifter took home multiple gold medals at the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa.

Laurel Hubbard won two gold medals and a silver in the three heavyweight categories, for women weighing more than 87 kilograms, or 192 pounds, finishing first in the snatch-lift and combined categories and second in the clean-and-jerk.

I believe that the pendulum always swings back. It’s just Nature.

***************

I agree. Another way I look at it is that there’s only so much elasticity in any social change situation. And the energy stored up by the constant force being applied in stretching the limits over the last few decades is going to cause a horrendous lash-back.

I’d be irritated if a woman took a shower in the men’s room, so your stereotypes aren’t quite true.

I hope it’s not ‘horrendous’; just efficacious enough to get us back on track toward real human progression.

Unfortunately, the real world rarely works that way.

Interesting thought about the WNBA. You know, the leftists would plot out the exact scenario you describe, a man playing in the women’s NBA. They are ruthless, relentless and they always put “the cause” first, which is why the feminists are keeping quiet.

“Snatch-lift” and “clean and jerk”...

Are those the names of some of the medical procedures a tranny has to go though to become man-less?

Define ‘real’.

The World is perceived by each mind differently; and while many of them may be a little brainWashed these days, they are not necessarily brainDamaged.

With patience, we could transition to a more sane course without violence. (A lot of people seem to get very impatient with just solidly sticking it, and having Faith - despite how they love to publicly advertise their ostensible ‘faith’.)

Recent “study” from a New Zealand University concludes:
“International Olympic Committee guidelines from 2015 permit transwomen to compete against cis-women if their testosterone is held below 10 nmol/L. However, this is much higher than that of cis-women. So should transwomen be allowed to compete in women’s events? The University of Otago researchers believe that they should, but that ‘the existing male/female categories in sport should be abandoned in favour of a more nuanced approach satisfying both inclusion and fairness. The best solution is to dump the male/female binary in sport, replacing it with an algorithm which takes into account gender identity, socioeconomic status and physiology.”

The feminists will resent this eventually

It's all a part of the same liberal pie that gave us feminism, civil rights, anti war protests, etc.

These ("I am woman, hear me whine, moan, demand and nag..") people can't pick and choose which ethos of liberalism they want. It's all or nothing.

Who wants to program that algorithm?

As to the testosterone level, it’s not just current levels, it’s past history. If the “conversion” of an XX to pretend female occurs well after puberty, she/he/it has heavier bones and musculature, as well as narrower hips and more aerobic capacity, then a regular XY woman.

Well, it might be fun to program up. But no one should have to.

I think there was legitimacy to some civil rights issues, and anti-war protests.

This whole “transitioning” b.s. is just a sick and twisted variation of “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. Men pretending to be women - They grow a set of boobs and paint their lips, and everyone falls all over themselves to accommodate this madness.

Let the trannies decide what “team” they’re playing on, and make them compete against each other.

Meanwhile, let the real men compete against real men; let the real women compete against real women.

They’re pushing this deranged crap onto children. Pre-pubescent children. Setting them up as young as 8 years old for sex changes. There’s already forums and blogs dedicated to the practice of helping teachers and parents with the indoctrination of the children.

There’s already articles on it out there in the wild web.

Good Men sat on their hands for too long and did nothing.

Those that step up to deal with this wont be good, wont be gentle and wont give a damn about your or my feelings on anything.

It’s called cause and effect.
