Weight lifting "records"... NOT political!

[SpokaneCY]

I would like to direct your attention to the "snatch" and the "jerk" in this submission...

My hope is someday common sense is used again for rules regarding sports.

What's the men's record for the equivalent

How could you feel even a little bit okay with competing against women? Weak minded individual.

Time to step it up and compete, ladies. We’re not handing out medals just because you were born with a vagina.

Unless it's for worlds biggest, or worlds best but I understand the point...

I was REALLY hoping to capitalize on the "snatch" and "jerk" lifts but I'm giggling just the same...

Yeah this will end up in the cave. Personally I think the sports authorities are going to have to create extra classes.

It will take the American women’s soccer team getting beat by trans athletes. Then America will freak out

3 classes: male, female, open.

I don't hate this idea

does that mean transgender women can't compete in the women's division?

whatever is on their birth certificate. If you are taking pills to transition you are in the open division.

Imagine feeling like you earned those gold medals

If they didn't want to lose to men at sports they shouldn't have been born with so many X chromosomes, not my fault. Get good and stop crying.

You forgot "please respect my decision"

The original post strikes me as just another right-wing call to resentment.

I had to drill, but the reviled transgender lifter snatched 289 lbs and clean and jerked 329 lbs. That's very strong. Not as strong as an elite world man's lifter but stronger than anyone who's reading this forum I'm sure.

I'm not upset about it.

Are we all pissed off that someone is lifting a lot of weight?

Are you not for fair competition? This is not fair. No corrective surgery but meets the testosterone levels. Look at his picture and 100 out of 100 people would say he is a man. Those women have probably trained their whole life just to be cheated out of fair competition.

Shoulda trained harder.

Is that really your argument?

It's time they pulled themselves up by their ovaries and got to work.
