[hanger4]

Laurel Hubbard is genetically male, but transitioned to female in her 30s, and now the former men's weightlifting champion has qualified for the New Zealand national weightlifting team as a woman.The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced Saturday that it had cleared Hubbard to compete in the Commonwealth Games, one of several international competitions that precede the Olympics. Hubbard, they say, has "acceptable" levels of testosterone, clearing her to compete against female weightlifters even though she has a clear psychological and physical advantage. ............. http://www.dailywire.com/news/23955/...-emily-zanotti ............. Are we seeing the beginning of the end of women's sports ?? IOC tests testosterone levels, why not test DNA ??

All REAL female contestants should boycott their participation. Let the freak lift against himself and win Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Until the women athletes take a stand this will get worse and worse. Weve discussed the unfair advantage male transgenders have over real women.

What about the muscle development lready in place?

And will always be in place. Males will always dominate Females in the sports world simply because of their body strength. The only out for the IOC or any other sports org is DNA testing.

Lol, being born with the structure of a male and going through puberty as a male is a beyond massive advantage vs actual women.
