Laurel Hubbard, a transgender athlete from New Zealand, made sports history by winning a women’s weightlifting competition in Australia on March 19.
The 39-year old (born a male) won the women’s over 90 kilogram (kg) division at the Australian International competition in Melbourne. In the process Hubbard set four unofficial national records by lifting a combined total of 268 kg. That performance bested silver medalist Iuniarra Sipaia of Somoa by 19 kg.

What happens when all the women are really men?
Sorry, they are not women,the have just hidden their penis’s.totally morally wrong in every way.Where are the PINK$#%&!@*Hatter’s on this joke?
As a man in a high school event he probably wouldn’t even place with that kind of weight… it’s a damn shame.
I cant download article, but in my opinion unless the competitor is post op, then they should not be allowed to compete. Pre op, no.
Wow!
Aren’t you real ladies out there getting tired of this BS?
He couldn’t win in the men’s so , he went as a girl .
Ladies, I am sorry the world has chosen to overlook our accomplishments, just to follow some dumbass pc s**t
Be careful what you ask for you might just get it.
