Canada Powerlifting … More Power to this Guy’s Elbow

So this man makes excellent use of Canada’s self ID laws to take the women’s bench press record from TW Anne Andres. ^Team Canada powerlifting coach, Avi Silverberg just broke the Alberta WOMEN's bench press record in the 84+ kg category at the "Heroes Classic."^ ^Former record holder, trans-identifying male, Anne Andres had a front row view as Silverberg mocked the discriminatory CPU policy by also unofficially breaking the women's world record in the event.^ [[https://twitter.com/icons_women/status/1640407143059972096?s=46&t=fMjCB4vFfh_N6mYE72mhHw https://twitter.com/icons_women/status/1640407143059972096?s=46&t=fMjCB4vFfh_N6mYE72mhHw]]

I love this.

Well done Avi!

Bloody brilliant!

Wonderful. I’d like to know more though. Is self-ID there so simple that all Avi had to do was say he was a woman and then and there take part in the competition?

Would be good to know whether all he had to do to enter the women’s event was declare that he IDs as a women, wouldn’t it?

Brilliant. We need more of these. Burn the whole thing to the ground and watch the TW "athletes" try to explain why it's not fair.

Want there a YouTuber who did this a few years ago? We thought it was a good idea and that he would make the idiocy and misogyny obvious, but the result was that he was labelled transphobic and his record was quashed. Bizarre.

I think that was Zuby.

Well done that man.

As sanity returns, all records will need to be re set to the last female athlete.

There was an Irish lad who won a women’s race and Zuby’s weightlifting (but Zuby was just in the gym, not in a public competition).

Mad that we are pleased to hear a male-man has won a women’s sports contest because at least it highlights the absurdity that a male-‘woman’ had already won it last year.

The world is proper topsy turvy.

Yes, the only way would be to follow through and swear they are TW to the bitter end, even take people to court for hate if they are not believed. Some people think that Canadian woodwork teacher with the blue up breasts is calling their bluff that way.

Otherwise people like Avi just have to brave the consequences till people wake up and dare mention the unmentionable.

I thought for a moment you were going to say the young guy who entered the women's race at uni (I think) just to make a point.
