At least weight lifting hasnt gone full on crazy

Britain's Andrea Thompson has been crowned world's strongest woman after it transpired the original winner was a transgender woman who was not eligible to compete. Thompson, 43, was awarded the title by event organisers Strongman two days after the event was held in Arlington, Texas from 20-23 November. Strongman only permits competitors to take part in a category which matches their biological sex recorded at birth. Thompson had finished second to the American athlete after the six weightlifting events in the Woman's Open category.

No complaints here. Let each sport regulate itself. The trans athlete was not following the rules and got disqualified.

"Had we been aware, or had this been declared at any point before or during the competition, this athlete would not have been permitted to compete in the Woman's Open category," the statement added.

Boaz, seriously, you're coming across increasingly as just another weirdly obsessed MAGAt eager to gleefully crawl inside and carefully inspect other folks' knickers and pantaloons.

- force everyone else to accept you.

This idea that other people need to deserve your acceptance is psychologically unhealthy.

Not to mention rude, crude, and uncouth... which is what my 3rd grade teacher used to say about us boys back then.

"I'm obsessed with you trying to force everyone else to accept you."

Aaaand that's how you people felt about us liberals who wanted civil rights for blacks and gays.

"I'm obsessed with you trying to force everyone else to accept you."

Like she forced you to post the tripe you post.

Why?

Why are you so obsessed with other people's life choices.

If it does not "pick your pocket or break your bones" it should be of no concern to you the choices other adults make with their lives.

How has the Trans community negatively affected you personally?

Were you "tricked" by one in a bar? I bet that's it.

It's up to the organizers of these events to make it a fair competition. Not you and Karen. (Thank goodness for that!)

Lol! And the echo chamber continues with the deletion of everything at odds with the PC folk's prescribed outlook. And then the shock when this issue costs the Dems another election.

Most Americans oppose including trans athletes in sports, poll finds
Nearly 70% of U.S. adults say transgender athletes should be allowed to compete only on sports teams that correspond with the sexes they were assigned at birth, Gallup found.

Let's see if the above verbatim quote of an NBC article headline on Gallup poll results is permitted to exist here.
