Just like countless other exercise fanatics, Chloie Jonsson wanted to test herself in a CrossFit strength competition. The increasingly popular fitness events culminate each summer with the crowning of the "Fittest Man and Woman on Earth."

But Jonsson, who is a transgender woman, was told she would have to register as a man.

I'll leave it to you to figure out which person is Jonsson.

Ain't modern life grand?

5,500 affiliated gyms

It was over 8,000 affiliates at last year's Games. It's over 10,000 now. Good fact-checking there.

I would be curious to hear Greg Glassman's stance on this issue. He's the creator/CEO of CrossFit, and he's also a die-hard libertarian. Here's where "let people do their own thing" crashes hard into the "level playing field" that is touted by CFHQ.

And, I'm pretty sure this person should be in a straight-jacket.

lol, that lawyer loves looking at himself with other (I take it “famous”) people. I guess that would seem impressive to shallow clients/creatures.

“Transgender woman”? No. A man with a psychological disorder.

she would have an unfair advantage competing against other women.

"Other" women?

It definitely needs a shrink, not a lawyer.

It is so annoying and confusing to read these articles when these stenographers refer to a man as a woman, and vise versa.

I don’t know what he did, but he still looks like a black dude.

Eunuchs. They just ain’t right in the head. Let’s forget about the first 20 years of his life being a testosterone boosted muscle mass development.

Let ‘em compete. Show the Ladies that even as girls, guys beat them hands down in physical competition.

If the competition is called “Fittest Man and Woman on Earth,” I’d think s/he would be uniquely qualified.

Since he’s now transgendered, he should only be eligible for the transgendered CrossFit competition.

I don’t know about the founder, but a lot of the CrossFit gyms are owned and run by very committed Christians. The thing that a lot of people get out of CrossFit is not only the physical aspect, but connections with other decent people.

Of course, as usual, some loony with a politically empowered sexual agenda has got to come in and break it up. Just like Scouting, which gays have managed to nearly kill.

You’re absolutely right, but the leftists stand no chance of central control on this one. CFHQ could disappear tomorrow and those 10,000 boxes will still be there with a slight name change.

You got a point there. And let the female-to-male types compete in the men's competition - if they dare. I would love to see that.

This is all about people seeking attention. They are counting on us to get all riled up so they can declare that we are "intolerant" and "hateful."

But what if we didn't pay it any attention at all? Let these natural born males enter the women's competitions and start dominating them. At some point, it will be the women who will say "enough is enough" and start taking some action. Then they can be branded as intolerant and hateful.

Is that what that is? I thought these were date shots with Jonsson before the “reassignment.”

OMG that is a LOT of tats.......

It is almost like walking around with a billboard that says

“LOOK AT ME I AM A FREAK!!!”

No wonder this creature was red tagged by the CrossFit people....

This creature could have gotten through the registration with nary a eyebrow raised had it not looked like a tattooed circus freak.... Also probably gives itself away when it opens it’s mouth with a deep truck driver voice....

I think it’s disorder is less about “I’m trapped inthe wrong body” and more like “Look at ME!!! I am an attention Whore!!!!!”
