Man who believes he's a woman smashes women's weightlifting records: may head to Olympics

If you want your country to kick butt at the Olympic Games women's competitions, it never hurts to have even mediocre athletic guys who think they're women, represent you. Think of the women's records guys can shatter in events involving strength or speed.

Now put the shoe on the other foot and imagine you're a woman who has busted her butt training day in and day out and has beaten your contemporaries. Now imagine that you have to compete against a guy whose biology puts him at an advantage. Of course, not all men are stronger than all women, but in general, they are.

Laurel Hubbard is a man, based on his XY chromosomes and  who hopes to make the New Zealand woman's team at the Tokyo games. He has competed as a man but now says he thinks he's a woman and because we must entertain his delusions and gender dysphoria, he is eligible to compete at the 32nd Olympiad after his testosterone level puts him under the maximum threshold as required by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). 

Muscle mass to body weight, speed and acceleration, bone density, cardiovascular advantages,  and the fact that overall, men on average have one third greater strength than females should wake us up to the idea that men and women are different and identifying as a female doesn't take away most of those advantages.

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.

“In our respectful view, the current criteria and its application has the potential to devalue women’s weightlifting and discourage female-born athletes from pursuing the sport at an elite level in the future,” the organization correctly stated.

Although the 2020 New Zealand weightlifting team has not yet been named, the nation’s Olympic committee said Hubbard is likely to make the cut. They'd be fools not to allow him to compete against the female counterparts. 

Piece of cake . . . and a dab of lipstick.

Transgender athletes consistently and ironically prove that men and women are different and that actually isn't a bad thing. They are robbing women of scholarships and their rightful places in sports history and it sucks.
