Is this fair? Transgender female weightlifter has a '25 PER CENT' advantage over her [tr]

A transgender Kiwi weightlifter may have an unfair advantage over her fellow female athletes when she competes at the Commonwealth Games, an expert has warned. Long-time professional weightlifter Laurel Hubbard, 39, transitioned from a male to a female a few years ago. She will soon compete in the women's 90kg-plus competition on the Gold Coast, despite the protests of an Australian weightlifting chief. In an interview this week, Otago University physiology Professor Alison Heather said men transitioning into women generally have physical advantages.

This T in LGBT is allowed to compete as a woman despite say 20 years of male testosterone flowing through its body and all the physical advantages that entails. If East Germany was still around they would stop bothering doping up women and simple find a bunch of Hans and have them state they will compete as Gretels.

When dudes start doing this it will begin to slow the nonsense of the “transgender” movement.

A guy pretends to be a girl.

XY chromosomes vs. XX chromosomes.

That would be because they're not women, they're men.

This transgender thing could be a real boon for the WNBA.

It’s too bad they can’t be honest and call him a male.

“over her fellow female athletes”

I can’t imagine writing that with any sincerity. Think of it: “OVER HER FELLOW” ...it’s just ridiculous.

Women screamed at men to be tolerant and approving of these types of people.

Now, women, you must be tolerant and approving of these types of people, too.

Here 'she' is, girls.

Woo-hoo, let's compete.

The only good thing about this is that it's gonna kill Title IX.

It was never about “fairness,” at least by the traditional meaning of the word. It is about me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, and ME!!!!!!! Everyone else be damned.

The Left wanted this, now say good-by to women’s sports. Unintended consequences of embracing crazy.

HA HA HA! I love it! This forces people to see the absolute contradiction that is going on. The complete lies, the deceit and self-delusion.
This Hubbard thing is a male! It is not a female! I hope it wins big and makes all the women madder than a wet hen.
In the end, it doesn’t matter. Truth will be suppressed and PC will win. The man posing as a woman will be allowed to compete, and probably win.
I want more of it! More men who pretend to be women! Go and win!
Proof that rationality has lost, is the fact that the article calls it “she.”

There is no such thing as “transgender”. It is biologically impossible to change a man into a woman or vise versa. That’s just science. Who, now, is the anti science party?
