The media is super thrilled over the notion that “Laurel Hubbard” could set records
New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard on verge of becoming first transgender Olympian
A revision in Olympic qualification standards has set the stage for New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard, a transgender woman, to qualify for the Tokyo Games, the New Zealand Olympic Committee announced Thursday.
Hubbard would be the first transgender person to compete in the Olympics if she makes it.
Per Reuters, the NZOC said the International Weightlifting Federation had revised its qualifications due to the impact of COVID-19, opening the door for Hubbard to head to Tokyo. (snip)
Hubbard has been competing internationally for years, with a gold medal in the 2019 Pacific Games and a sixth-place finish at the 2019 World Championships in the +87 kg division. Per NBC Sports, she currently ranks 16th in the world in her weight class for Olympic qualifying, and holds the top spot in Oceania by a narrow margin.
Hubbard’s career has predictably been divisive, with fans and rival nations decrying her presence in the sport. Her silver medal at the 2017 World Championships was preceded by a torrent of social media abuse, and a spot in the much more visible Olympics is basically guaranteed to fan the flames as transgender athletes become a hot-button issue in the United States and elsewhere.
Good news: a man will be taking medals away from women in the Olympics https://t.co/PQjD63uq8A

Does he look like a woman? How many medals will he take away from real women who trained hard to be able to make the Olympics and compete? Realistically, he could train hard and easily be able to exceed the real women.
Gavin Hubbard’s listed height of 1.85 meters works out to 6’0¾”, which is not impossible for a woman, but is well into the 99th percentile. (It’s actually in the 90th percentile for a male.)
From Wikipedia:
Dude was a male weightlifting competitor, in the 105 KG class; that’s 231+ lb. Only a simpleton, or a liberal, would believe he is a chick.
Ever hear of a trans dog? Doggo believes he is cat? Therefore he is? Nope. Trans horse? Believe himself to be sheep therefore he is? Nope. This entire “trans” thing is a hoax. Does not exist. Does. Not. Are there men who like to wear females clothing o yes. I suppose since the days of Noah in the Old Testament but does that make female = nope. Truly believe = nope. Does not. A man is a man and that’s it. Do note there are NO females who convert to men to compete against men = that would be a laugh. Woman would get stomped on. So Olympic Committee says it’s ok for men to compete against women is just another reason I will not watch this debacle at all.
Well, you can safely watch women’s gymnastics and women’s beach volleyball.
Women’s diving is also acceptable!
Well, by jingo, you’ve hit on it! As Noah was gathering the animals, two by two, he gathered a cis male and trans female unicorn, and that’s why we have no unicorns left on earth!

I have yet to be able to figure it out. Why would a ‘trans woman,’ who wants to be thought of as a real woman, choose to compete in an event which can only serve to point out that ‘she’ isn’t a real woman?
Every medal that Gavin Hubbard wins, every lift he completes, every competitor he beats, is just going to point out that he isn’t an actual woman.
Liberals-still looking out for women’s rights….
Male and female weightlifters achieve their peak performance in weightlifting at similar ages. The median peak age is 26.0 years for men and 25.0 years for women, at the 90th percentile of performances.
Mr./Mrs./Miss Hubbard is 43 years old. She is winning gold medals in women’s weight lifting 17 years past a woman’s prime.

Why am I pointing to his/her/It/Building/tree Trunk/House/automobile/entity/Alien/ sorry I dont want to go through the list of 156 genders. Lets just call IT…….HE/SHE for brevity’s sake.
A study in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, computed the lifts of elite power lifters (competitors in the World Championships from 2003-17) and weightlifters (competitors in the World Championships and Olympic Games from 1998-2017) to determine when they were at their best. The average peak age for power lifters was 35 and weightlifters was 26.
They only use Weightlifting and not power lifting in the Olympics. Why no power lifting in the Olympics? Because only about 40 nations participate in the sport and to achieve success requires years beyond the peaks of 22-27. An area clearly in which He/She would fall into. Yet even so in the power lifting scene, He/she is beyond the peak of 38 years old for power lifting.
Clearly a 43 year old man who has become a woman shows how unequal the male human body is verse the female body in this as well as most other sports.
The fact a 43 year old man is winning gold medals in international competitions 17 years beyond the peak for a woman in the same sport is reason enough for the Olympics to ban Trans athletes from most sports that rely upon the male vs female body to succeed.
There are many sports in the Olympics I would not have a problem with such as badminton, kayaking, Horse jumping, Pole Vault, and many, many others. Not high jump because the leg twitch of a male vs female would give the male a definite advantage.
2.09 meters world record for women vs 2.45 meters for the men. Again leg twitch and 10 percent more leg muscle mass than a woman.
And now you know why this he/she is a real problem for women competitors who spend their lives training for the Olympics. To root for a transgender man to beat a woman is Misogynistic.
Teach asks: Does he (sic) look like a woman?
Does Teach look like a man? His picture looks like Jane Lynch.
Hubbard has not fared well in women’s competitions since 2013. Shouldn’t she be winning every contest?
Men have more obvious societal advantages in addition to their physical differences. Men make more money, run more companies, serve on more boards, occupy more seats in government etc. Are these advantages a result of fast twitch muscle fibers and height? Connies have no quarrel with women being disadvantaged in society but are apoplectic over trans women in sport.
Bathrooms, trans women, Mr Potato Head, Dr Seuss, Snow White, Disney and on and on.
Rimjob, dipshit that he is, seems obsessed with idiotic irrelevant questions about tranny sickos and the like.
Wonder why that is?
#BelieveTheLie
Bwaha! Lolgf
Both Teach and his little lapdog and dipshits.
There is no such thing as a “trans-woman”. He has an X and Y chromosome regardless of what he calls himself, regardless how much mutilation he’s had done to himself and regardless how he doses himself with hormones.
You leftist’s are always saying “follow the science” so follow the fuking science. The only trans these poor deluded people are is Transvestite. You claim to be for women yet attempt to ruin their sports by introducing men as competitors. That’s stupid, shallow and scientifically ignorant. It’s also a hate crime against women and a life sentence of misery to the poor victims of sexual dystopia. You are a cruel, hateful political criminal.
Why do you hate White people?
Why do you hate Christians?
Why do you hate Americans?
Why do you hate Women?
We would rather you answer these vital questions regarding your morals and ethics than hear about your personal bigotry and prejudices. And before you start calling others your favorite names like White supremacist, racist, misogynist, or any of the usual commie repertoire of fake insults and self-projecting nonsense look in the fuking mirror.
Also before you make cruel and hateful statements like “Does Teach look like a man? His picture looks like Jane Lynch” and the one you made about me looking like an old lady post your picture or STFU. Hypocrite.
You poor, poor dear. Sounds as if you woke up on the wrong side of the coffin today.
Why do you care how people refer to themselves?
Why do you hate transgender people?
You claim it’s cruel to say that Teach’s picture looks like Jane Lynch, yet Teach asks whether Laurel Hubbard looks like a man. Cruelty is a feature of conservatism, not a bug. tRumptilians worship their Master BECAUSE of his hate and cruelty, not in spite of it.
Funny-no, cruelty would be allowing males to compete as females in sporting events.
NONE of this is about hate of any sort you poor, poor sheep.
If you want to pretend that you’re something you are not, the sex that you are not, a different species, a door knob, smoke, whatever. Please have at it. Make believe is a wonderful thing. Just don’t expect or demand or worse yet, legislate that the rest of us pretend with you. Most of the rest of us just plain Do. Not. Care. We have enough of our own problems to deal with, thank you.
BUT, if you actually believe that you are the sex that you are not, a different species, a door knob, smoke, or any other damn thing besides that which you are, there is a term for that and it isn’t “trans”.
You. Are. Delusional. I object to being forced to contribute to or fund your delusions, that isn’t health care. Just get help. I do not have a problem funding obviously necessary psychological therapy.
