Imagine being a female weightlifter so gifted and well-trained that you managed to beat out the best of the best in your country, only to make it to the 2020 Olympics and be forced to compete against a man.
This is the harsh reality that dozens of Olympians could soon be facing if one Laurel Hubbard makes the New Zealand team, as the transgender athlete who identifies as a woman inches closer to the Tokyo games.
Hubbard, who was born as a male and has competed as one, has been determined eligible to compete at the 32nd Olympiad after testing under the maximum threshold for testosterone required by the International Olympic Committee, France 24 reported.
In 2017, Hubbard’s first outing competing as a female in international competition saw the then-39-year-old smash unofficial national records for New Zealand at the Australian International in Melbourne, according to The New Zealand Herald.
In 2018, Hubbard became the first transgender athlete at the Commonwealth Games, something which the Australian Weightlifting Federation tried to prevent, to no avail.

Are you aware of the current events of the real world? It is only getting started.
We are going to see some of the most amazing one punch knock outs in history!
The first woman to beat a trans male will also be a great fight.
The name of the defeated trans-male will become an instant metaphor in every language on the planet.
As Caitlyn Jenner so eloquently said, it is a matter of common sense and fairness to ban transgender males from women’s sports. I certainly hope the women weightlifters speak up to this outrage. Better yet, they should all boycott the olympics. Let the transgender win all by herself.
Hope all the “feminists” are happy now that they destroyed real women’s sports

Yep, let the progressive women see the logical implications of their agenda. Eat it! Maybe then, they will finally be forced to face reality and will reconsider their ways. The schools of hard knocks is the only way that these stupid leftists can recognize their foolish ideology.
6’1, 286 lb. I wonder how many women compete in that weight class?
All xx females should refuse to compete against him.
Destruction of the Olympic games.... Mission accomplished.
This is kind of where I am too. Hey, I disagree with it but women are fully capable of standing up for themselves and raising absolute hell if they want to. They’ve done so before. If they’re not doing so now then *shrug* why should I spend much energy fighting over it?
Which is ultimately going to prove stronger - women’s self interest or Hard Left politics? Decide ladies.
Right now the camera crews are drawing short straws as to which cameraman has to do the close-ups and show the world that Einhorn is Finkle in high-definition.
I will agree only so long as the asylum is an old decommissioned navy ship and thereafter it’s used for torpedo target practice.
“Male” does not need the word “biological” in front of it.
Anyone who “was born as a male” is a male. The binary male/female is an essential part of the person’s being and does not come in degrees, nor can it be flipped to the other side of the binary.
Anyone can identify as anything else, and thus has admitted that he/she is no longer in contact with reality, and insane.
Good. Put the women in their place. No more “You can do it!” “Girls Rule Boys Drool” or “fight like a girl” T-shirts/posters/memes/propaganda sold in Walmart or on my computer screen. No more smoky/dry ice with backlight shots of swimmers or soccer players with their arms folded, looking tough. The US women’s national soccer team was beaten by average high schoolers 5-1 and 7-2. I hope Rapinoe plays long enough to be replaced by a dude.
I wouldn’t be too sure about that. One of the international governing bodies recognized by the IOC, the Union Cycliste International, allowed a biological male to get a gold medal in the women’s match sprint.
This is just the latest reason.
I’m not so sure the debutantes competing in weight lifting care that they’re competing against a man. After all, is there any doubt most of them think they’re a man too?
Great. Olympic weightlifting gold will be won by Vera De Milo.
<< I love it! I’ll be watching for tempers flaring when the real women is humiliated by the fake witch! >>
I hear ya. Let the intersectional war between feminists and trans wokies commence. It’ll be far more entertaining than the Olympics, that’s for sure.
We will start by being shocked about how unfair this in. In the next few years we will grumble just a little bit as we watch. In a decade no one will bat an eye.
Shame, shame on NZ.
