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.

Was there a question? Men’s bodies innately have more strength . Not exactly equal.
Don’t think it’s fair in any sport and
Composition!
No…. what your saying is a man won the womens weightlifting competition.
Looks like transgenders need to be competing against their own kind, since they are taking hormone enhancing drugs they are not the same as those that aren’t taking these drugs. Meaning if you are a trans man you compete against a trans man; if you are a trans woman you compete against a trans woman; that’s fair.
Gee, why do I not care?
This is what they fail to, or simply refuse to see. (y)
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Good!
Today’s Liberalism is a Cowardice mentality devouring the world.
LIBERALISM is America’s #1 Enemy! They are the only ones who are laying down with their legs spread wide open along with the door to America, inviting Islam and Anti-American element in.
If you don’t destroy the sick Liberal cancer devouring America you might as well hand your kids and grandchildren over to Islam!
Fight back now or be devoured!
That’s just cheating plane and simple
