In a story that shouldn’t be that hard to figure out, men shouldn’t be competitive in women’s sports. In fact they shouldn’t be allowed to compete as women at all.
It’s literally the epitome of a 7th grader playing on a 3rd grade sports team.
The folks at USA Powerlifting get that and have imposed a ban on all Trans women trying to compete as women, you know because they’re not women.
USA Powerlifting has banned all transgender women from competing as women, even as a trans powerlifter in Minnesota recently won a state championship with another association, setting a state record.
JayCee Cooper, a trans woman, had applied last year to compete in a recent USA Powerlifting event in Minnesota. In December her application was denied.
“Male-to-female transgenders are not allowed to compete as females in our static strength sports as it is a direct competitive advantage,” wrote USAPL Therapeutic Use Exemptions Committee Chair Kristopher Hunt in an email to Cooper.
Hunt followed up with Cooper in January with this explanation:
“Transgender male to female individuals having gone through male puberty confer an unfair competitive advantage over non-transgender females due to increased bone density and muscle mass from pubertal exposure to testosterone.”
I’ll end on this note, if you have a problem with this you’re an idiot stick.
good for them! It’s about time to return to being normal
All trans people should be required to disclose this fact. Most of the “women” in politics and corporate C-suites are trans.
What took women’s sports so darn long to realize that this should have been stopped at the first enquiry made by transgendered females. Stick to your convictions and science!
There is sanity in this world. YES! Good for US Powerlifting! You can’t change your sex or “gender”. You are what your DNA says and XY = male, even if they claim to think they are women. This is a mental problem NOT a physical one. You are still a man if your DNA says XY.
[…] USA Powerlifting Bans Trans Women from Competing as Women […]
That is great.
Finally someone with the “Ball’s” to stand up to these ignorant people attempting to bypass the right way. Pardon the PUN.
This really should be like a no brainer 🤨
As it should be. Women, after all the years you’ve fought for equality, here you are again being diminished for your accomplishments by effeminate men in women’s clothes who place more importance on you using their correct pronoun than knowing what is really under the hood. Congratulations, Progressive Liberalism, you’ve shat upon women again!
They screwed a pooch on their reasoning. I wholeheartedly agree with their conclusion, that trans athletes have an unfair advantage, and should therefore be banned. However, the “through puberty” and ” bone density” claims will be attacked as disproven. It would have been far, far better to have said ” banned until such time as the reasons for their statistically significant performance variance is better understood” this would leave the professional victims nothing to hang their hat on since, statistically, when a competition involves 9 biological females, and 1 trans, we already know who’s going to win.
That is an old photo of the womens USA Weightlifing team – as in Olympic Weightlifing. None of them are powerlifters.
Women should do the sport either!
I agree with this 100%
GOOD! Now all sports should do this. It is killing women’s/girls’ sports. IT’S TOTALLY UNFAIR TO “FEMALE” SPORTS
Good for them,it’s time we stop the insanity the liberals are forcing on us.And sorry for all of you men that were getting some perverse satisfaction beating women.
[…] Yep, say goodbye to women’s sport. That is the endgame of this trans insanity. Hopefully if enough people speak out about this moonbattery then we can start to see things turned around. And my last story does offer a bit of hope in this regard. It has to do with one US sporting group: […]
Thank God finally! some common sense, in a sea of stupidity
I am a trans woman. This article makes sense to me, I totaly agree. The chromosomes doesn’t really matter, besides the XX, XY and XXY there are some more configurations, wich cannot make out the difference between male or female. Before the puberty kicks in, boys and girls are about the same in body. When the puberty kicks in, boys are high on testo, wich will form the body, and makes the advantage that girls don’t have naturally. The hormones reverses the effect, unless you keep up on your sport. The boy who is weightlifting and turn to girl after… Read more »
We pause the regularly scheduled pandemonium for a brief moment of sanity.

We now return you to our regular diet of jurist-enforced insanity.
They will get sued. The party bringing the tort will shop for a favorable judge. The power lifting association will lose their shirts because far too many judges think that issuing outrageous decisions is the best way to fame. In actuality, the best way to be remembered by future generations is to become known for fairness and integrity but that takes a lifetime of, well, fairness and integrity.
There is no such thing as Male-to-female transgenders. Male and female are a biological reality defined by the X and Y chromosome. No matter what a male takes or dose to his body he can never be a female. Every cell in his body except red blood cells carry the XY chromosomal pair that define him as male.
Thank you for showing common sense. The politically correct farce against women is unconscionable and must end. Thank you.
Why bother having womens’ competitions at all if men are going to enter them?
