Man breaks women weightlifting records

[Zach]

A man competing in a women’s weightlifting competition as expected breaks the records and wins the events. He was so proud of himself that he bragged on Instagram about it. Rather than compete against fellow men he decides to ruin it for women who trained hard for years to compete to try to win against fellow women.

Thank you for posting this important cultural barometer Zach.

The women are going to be victimized a lot by this type of thing that grew out of the leftist “invent your own reality” paradigm (my opinion).

ok I’m a bit confuse here.

Is this a woke victory or a woke defeat?

Should we all be cheering, for example, when a trans athlete bashes women in the boxing ring?

Go you …… um …… girl?

In the flip side of this, women (for disambiguation, I mean here a person born with ovaries) in track that have naturally high testosterone are looking at dealing with a new rule that mandating they take medication to lower their levels in order to compete. Testosterone is considered something that has a significant impact on performance and such women are seen as having a [natural] advantage over those with lower levels.

The softening down of real men.

Just one more reason why “current testosterone levels” is an arbitrary and idiotic method to segregate competition so it can include women taking steroids or men who like to compete against women.

It’s odd that no F to M transgender persons are breaking men’s records.
