Dream Crusher: Born-Male (Transgender) Weightlifter to Compete with Women at Olympics

Laurel Hubbard, a born-male (transgender) weightlifter, qualified to compete for New Zealand in the Olympics against athletes who were born, and compete as, women. Is this what it will take for people to wake up to the injustice of biological men competing as women, or will the world embrace bumping born-women athletes from the medal podium?

Scott, Laurel Hubbard is not intersex that is a different category at the Olympics. Hubbard’s score has actually been falling progressively over the past few years.

He meets the conditions laid down but that is no guarantee that he will exclude or beat all the women. He does not do that in New Zealand and Australian competitions. Hubbard’s score has actually been falling progressively over the past few years.
The conditions: First, athletes must have undergone sex reassignment surgery, including changes in the external genitalia and gonadectomy. Second, athletes must show legal recognition of their gender. Third, athletes must have undergone hormone therapy for an appropriate time before participation, with two years being the suggested time.

Since there is an increasing ambiguity, the solution is to disregard it. Sports categories can now only be arranged by some other measure, like weight, or proven strength in an area not the competitive topic. Small men and small women can compete; men and women of similar strength could compete. Any possibility in that?

So there will be only a sliver & bronze metal won by biological women. You don’t have a chance in Hell for a gold. I want so bad for there to be a trans team in Women’s Beach Volleyball. Lets see how THAT will go over.

BTW – he is not going to the Olympics and his school record 10.10 pales next to Usain Bolt’s 9.58.
To qualify for the Men’s Olympic Trials, you must run a 10.05.“
I think this is the actual reason, along with the “me world” rationale.
These “trans” athletes are nothing more than beta males who can’t compete at the level with their peers, so they’ve figured out a scam to give them the advantage that they don’t have at the expected level.
Lower the bar, and compete as a girl. They don’t mind the social stigma -especially as the woke world celebrates their “bravery”- and they attain the praise and status of being “the best” in the class. Which is all they’re really after.
Bill uses the analogy of competing in Little League as an adult to dominate the sport, to make the point.
It’s just another way to cheat to the top for those who can’t cut the mustard on a level playing field.
(pardon my mangled metaphor…)
These poseurs need to be cut down, ridiculed and banned as the frauds they are.

Best response is for ALL XX chromosome women to stop competing with the International Olympic Organization and establish their own. If the current “leadership” is incapable of telling the difference between XX and XY competitions they are too blindly stupid to hold the positions they hold.

Steve’s comment, about wounds and damaging healthy tissue via medically endorsed procedures, is spot on. Where is the real damage (or distortion or misunderstanding or abnormality or ???) In the brain? Or in some set of cells that faced epigenetic vs. pure genetic division? It appears we just don’t know … yet.

Analogous to “guns kill people”. No, people kill people. But fingers pull the trigger, so “fingers kill people”. Well, no, in that vein “brains, or perhaps the lack thereof, kill people”. So I am sure all of the die hard Leftists would just love to perform lobotomies on all of the non-wokerati out there (and those of us here at BWDC).

I can only imagine that East Germany and the Soviet Union are both spinning in their graves lamenting that they were only 50yeas ahead of the times!! Remember that not so many Olympic cycles ago the IOC instituted testing to prevent what they are now condoning! My how times have changed.

2021 US Weightlifting Nationals is going on as we speak, so let’s use that as a metric eh? This man competed in the 105kg+ division before the transition. In order to QUALIFY for men’s nationals at 105+ you would need a total of about 308kg. This man’s highest total ever was 300kg, he he would not even qualify to compete in men’s US Nationals at his weight class.

Now as a woman the heaviest weight class is 87kg+ (~190 pounds) which at US Nationals required 195 kg to qualify. This man is competing at a bodyweight of 131.83kg (~290 pounds) with a total of 268kg.

Would not even qualify as a man. As a “woman” passes the bar for qualification by 40%

Clown world. Truly.

Great stats! And what a way to extend one’s career since he is also 43.

A kid at my alma mater just set a school record in the 100m in the season ending meet. He ran a 10.10, which blows away Flo-Jo’s 10.49. In HS he ran 10.35 which is still more than a tenth of a second better than Flo-Jo.

To qualify for the Men’s Olympic Trials, you must run a 10.05. To qualify for the Women’s Olympic Trials, you must be capable of 11.15.

The smart move for female athletes would be to loudly and publicly call on the “Feminist” groups to come to their defense. Either they come to support the girls, or own up to being nothing more than front groups for Big Abortion. Win-win.

Back in Dec 2018, Martina Navratilova actually posted about not allowing guys to compete against girls. Said something about needing standards and having “twig and berries” wouldn’t meet the standard. The deluge from the twitter mob was fast and successful.

I was really disappointed in Martina not telling them to pound sand. She has the clout to have weathered the storm if she wanted to

And the ability to know from which she speaks. Even her friend Renee Richards was competing against women after surgery at 40+. Except in golf, 40 yr olds don’t compete against 24 yr olds in athletic competitions.

Trans-women are not going to take over womens’ sports. I don’t think there are enough men who have actual, diagnosable body dysphoria to do that.
What will happen is that womens’ sports will be flooded w/ narcissistic men who will declare themselves trans so that they can get the metals and the adulation.

Completely with Bill on this that “Laurel” will dominate. However, I think there has been enough pushback that I would not be surprised if when there are four lifters remaining, “Yanni” develops an injury or commits a lifting foul and is DQ’d so that “Laurel” doesn’t get to the podium. Then all the activists will say, see there was nothing unfair. 43 yr olds routinely compete at the highest level. “Yanni’s” performance had nothing to do with being born male.
But – yea, I hope Laurel dominates and sets a new “wymyn’s” record.

I’d like to see some lower conference school offer three guys scholarships to the wymyn’s basketball team and then have that school win the NCAA Women’s National Championship. They wouldn’t need a whole team of DIAD, just three 6′ 1″ 200# guys willing to do the hormone therapy for a year to prove a point.

I’m actually surprised we haven’t seen a few guys do this at the college level yet to snag some scholkarships

Minor point of contention, and I’m guilty of this too at times – stop using the phrase, “biological male.” The correct word is “Men”.

Not sure about that. I know the army was using a lot, mostly, Romanized barbarians in the field. No reason to think that barbarians hadn’t infused many other aspects of Roman life.

My old Roman History professor would be smacking me upside the head right now for forgetting that one.

If anyone else can confirm this, I would appreciate it:
I seem to be hearing or seeing that the more recent viewpoint of historians is that:

  1. Aside from the Romans leaving the British Isles, and that area declining in “civilisation”* as a result, most of the rest of Europe remained “sort of civilized” as the Barbarians adopted Roman culture and then Christianity. This did break up the former empire into maybe a dozen kingdoms, some more encompassing than others. [And the advance of Christianity has its own checkered past, with both positive and negative results/ impacts.]
  2. Yes, long distance travel was more precarious for a period, but still done and a lot of art work and engineering was not made or fell into disrepair as certain skill sets and knowledge were lost. But advances in agriculture and metallurgy continued to be made, etc.
  3. The rise of Islam turned the Mediterranean into an “Islamic lake” and drastically reduced trade among Europeans that had been done via shipping. But the continual attempts by the Muslims to invade/ conquer European regimes also caused those regimes to remain somewhat united and seeking better modes of military defense and offense.
  4. So that overall “The Dark Ages” were not all that dark, or at least not for all that long a time period [maybe 100 to 150 years? vs. previous conventional viewpoint of 300 to 500 years?] .

*Note the British spelling 🙂 .
