Canada has its trans weight lifting policy shown up for the sham it is

[sashh]

A Canadian man has entered a power lifting competition. He smashed the record.

The trans 'woman' who was the former record holder is not happy about it.

So Anne goes to all these competitions and is all like "ooh I like your hair, yeah thanks, I did win by a lot didn't I, just my lucky day I guess, better luck next time, you tried really hard too bad" and thinks that is fine because it's nice. It doesn't seem nice to me. Nice would be recognising they had a huge unfair advantage beacause science whatever, and then doing something about it.

I think Avi might be nicer to the women, Anne, you know by maintaining a professional coaching role for 10 years and risking his reputation with this stunt.

I think that actually in that case the wheelchair doesn't just level the playing field but if anything gives the regular wheelchair users an advantage. Whereas I cant think of an equivalent for men/women

Anne transition 20 yrs ago and is fully transitioned* - according to Anne.

Just wondering about about

• age of competitors
• ability to substantially lengthen your competitive career
• weight you can lift as a ‘senior’ lifter

Parallels with the NZ lifter.

Avi - thank you. & don’t let anyone tell you you’re not beautiful!

What?
And Anne claims to "be nice"??

I do wonder what would happen if women just stopped competing, let the men have it. A podium full of men at womens sporting competitions. It’s shit, women train for years for this stuff but if I was in competition I think I would willingly team up with other women to just not play. just to point out the utter stupidity of it.

It genuinely beggars belief: https://thepostmillennial.com/watch-biological-male-record-holder-in-canadian-womens-powerlifting-complains-about-females-inability-to-lift-more-weight

I think I would find Avi to be very nice indeed.

I also think he is not the one who exhibits malicious intent.

If Anne is so frustrated at the lack of competition then he could always go back to competing as a genuine man. There you go Anne, my “controversial thought “ for the day. Frankly my dear, it isn’t up to a man to tell women how they should be competing.

Anne, the supposedly, yet is self-described as such, nice weightlift did post that video lamenting how women were just not trying hard enough.

Yet, is complaining that a woman who is a woman just as Anne is, smashed the record that Anne set being such an elite athletes that Anne is.

You actually could not have scripted it better. Yet, I do hope that Avi has a way to unset that record.

Chicken.

Roost.

Try harder, ANNE.

I think you might be thinking of this:
Spanish basketball team who pretended to be disabled to win Paralympic gold.

"At one point during the first game of the tournament, when they were leading China by 30 points, Ribagorda claimed the coach told the players: 'Lads, move down a gear or they’ll figure out you’re not disabled.'"

But of course no one would ever abuse self ID, that's different...........

It's already happened.

Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui, took all the medals in the women's 800m race at the Rio 2016 Olympics, despite all having XY chromosomes, internal testes and male levels of testosterone.

That's it, sorry Canada, it was Spain.
