Commonwealth Games allows former male to steal weightlifting title
Jack Kemp
Get the last paragraph of this article were biological female supporter of this thief says it's ok for a former male to steal women's weight lifting titles because "she's doing what she loves." So were Hitler, Stalin, Lizzie Borden, Rosie Ruiz (a woman who cheated in the NY City Marathon by taking a subway ride during the race to cut down on her running time).
Transgender female competes in weightlifting competition in spite of 25 percent advantage
From the article:
Four years ago, weightlifter Laurel Hubbard transitioned from being a male to a female. She will now compete in the women’s weightlifting competition at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, in spite of protest.
The Commonwealth Games is an athletic competition (similar to the Olympics) between countries that include 53 members comprised of the former British Empire. The competition has carried on since 1930.
Cited as one of New Zealand’s "brightest medal prospects,†the 40-year-old is facing scrutiny over whether or not her competition against naturally-born women is fair. Otago University physiology professor Alison Heather said that "in general males outperform females across most sports, in weightlifting and strength sports…(and) that male to female difference can be as high as 25 percent.â€

Mercer Ellington (Duke's son) was right on the money when he wrote the song "Things Ain't What They Used To Be."
And I remember Rosie Ruiz. Didn't take long for people to "take her down," either.
From Tim:
If a man can compete as a woman why can't a man or woman use steroids? If it's just about doing what you love without regards to how it affects the actual competition, why are there rules restrictiong how the competition is conducted? If you can get an unfair advantage one way, why not another? Why can't you grease the bar before your competitior lifts? Why can't you drug her food? Hey, winning is something a person probably loves, so why not?
The modern world has gone mad. If doing what you love is the sole criteria for being allowed to do it, then the notion of competition goes right out the window. Which is, I'm sure, the whole point.

It is theft, pure and simple.
There
are a few feminists who are actually waking up to the problem
transgenderism brings to women's sports--and much else. But only a few.
Mr. Kemp replies:
The classic case of this was Renee Richards (the former Dr. Richard Raskin) who won - in a match that brought new ironic meaning to the term - a "mixed doubles" title at the U.S. Open tennis matches. Richards, a prosperous practicing physician, essentially stole a title and prize money from a woman. There were women tennis players who wouldn't play against Richards in protest at other tennis matches, forfeiting their chances at a title. In prep school the over six foot tall Richards once pitched a no hitter and then won a tennis match in the same day. Looks like someone with testosterone-layden musculature to me.
The feminist liberals have cut off their noses to spite their own faces in the arena of sports. How is throwing away women's sports titles to people whose bodies have been doping them with extra testosterone for years that no girl or woman has? A biological female with that much testosterone present in her while growing up would be thrown out of a contest for long term drug use cheating.
