That headline is simply inaccurate. Record-breaking powerlifter had her trophies taken away for being MALE. Mary was disqualified from female competition b/c of sex not being trans. Mary was eligible to compete in the male comp according to the classes based on sex not gender ID

Of course you can be a strong, muscular, female. I was before my accident and intend to be again after physio. One thing that hasn't changed is the fact that I am female and lithe rather than a big, hulking, cheating, male. Another one for the notebook. Your 15 mins is nearly up.

Good decision.
Next the IOC @Olympics Women have had enough
of being ‘accomodating’ and losing the chance of a top career in Sport. Get off our backs. Oh and we are the GLBT without the Q

It apparently is for some people. I’d guess a lot of them rely more on gender stereotypes than actually knowing women

The irony of course being that this 'strong, muscular female' was, prior to transition, a pretty average sized, presumably average strength male. I wonder if that fact tells us anything about the validity of transwomen in female sports..?

Oohhhh thank god you came along and proved that muscular females can be females, because the female muscular females weren't already doing that well done

Think about how much hand size and feet size come into play in power lifting. Not to mention faster twitch muscle fibers, having more oxygenated blood, larger lungs and heart. So many unfair advantages against female born humans! This is SEXISM.

Thank you. And speaking only for myself and the feminist campaigners I support, we accept and respect trans people and will always be allies, we fear that transppl will suffer most from the backlash of males manipulating the rules (trans or otherwise)
