And wait for the cult to start bleating how the pressure was too much for him as he was being made out a cheat - what a ghastly sight - huge wobbly gut to go with his bald head - what a specimen of entitled maleness
It was the way he barged into the line up at the start too. Late/rude/entitled/pushing in/ 'I'm here - look at me!'. . . the perfect entrance for an imposter, really!
They absolutely didn't want Hubbard to medal. It makes trans-inclusion seem less "threatening" you see. They will argue that there's no advantage for a transwoman, as was witnessed in these Olympics. Yes, they're paving the way to replace women with men, and once one country does it, they all will. They will think they've diffused the situation by Hubbard losing. But the woman he replaced on the team lost an opportunity. Hubbard had his shot at glory, 20 years ago. And he's still a man, anyone with eyes can see it. It's disgusting.
They will censor the comments to make it look like everyone supports men in women's sports. It will not stand. Too many people have been peaked.
New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard has made history by becoming the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympic Games - but fell well short of a podium finish as she could not complete a lift.
Competing in the over-87kg category in Tokyo, Hubbard overbalanced on her opening weight of 120kg, taking the bar behind her shoulders.
Her second attempt of 125kg was ruled invalid on a majority decision by the referees.
The third try was similar to the first, ruling Hubbard out of medal contention.
Did he “ throw” the qualifying event, IOW, deliberately fail in the event? This is really crucial: has Hubbard ever lifted 125 kg before? If so, that's evidence that Hubbard was capable but deliberately lost.
By failing to qualify, Hubbard has given fuel to TRA arguments, that trans women don’t necessarily lose all their events, and thus, that their participation isn’t necessarily unfair to bio women athletes.
Yeah ,I've been wondering about that ,too. So far ,those have been on a level playing field (2 males, 2 females in each team ( by sex ) but for now long ?? Thing is ,that picture of the British mixed relay team after they won the gold medal demonstrates with absolute clarity the differences between the SEXES !! No ambiguity whatsoever !!
I was actually thrilled to discover the mixed-sex triathlon relay, b/c for once women were given equal respect and import, with each athlete (both sexes) impressively tested in three sports and in endurance, and the women's athleticism mattering as much as the men's to the outcome. It was also really interesting having a good length of time to observe just female athletes' performances against each other, then men's, then the same again.
The mixed-sex swimming relay, in comparison, was confusing to watch and gauge as they mixed it all up. Even the BBC commentators had no idea that Great Britain were about to win at the end!
It didn't occur to me to be my usual pessimistic self about where it might be leading down the road.... Here's hoping they keep it structured by biological sex. It would destroy the whole point of it if not.
Rebecca Quinn, a trans man (openly since 2020) and now identifying only as Quinn, plays soccer for the women’s team. Even now that she identifies as a man, she is still included on the women’s Olympic team. So there are no rules that benefit anyone but the trans identifying people involved.
I'm not an expert in this field but I think I read today (when checking out Hubbards details online) that you have to have identified as trans for 4 years to compete on the team of your opposite sex. Is that why Quinn is still playing on the women's team? If that's not true then this really is a case of double standards.
The IOC list competitors as being either female or male gender rather than sex. We all know our biological sex but what is the IOC definition of 'gender'? (I need them to tell me so I can check I have mine right.) If the Olympics are about physical excellence they need to go by sex, not gender. What's wrong with being inclusive by going by sex, as always happened previously? What about people who call themselves non-binary? Should there be a non-binary Olympics?
I know there's a contact link on the Olympics website but does anyone have an email address it would be better to use? Thanks.
It is curious that Hubbard is allowed to compete with women given his testosterone level, and Caster Semenya, whose T level is lower than Hubbard's, is not. Both are XY males, Caster has a DSD but is nonetheless biologically male just as Hubbard is.
I think on this instance Caster declined to drop his testosterone for the usual event, but still would have been able to compete in another distance where they've pulled a different testosterone allowance out of their arses in order to let cheating males compete. There are a few other DSD males who have changed events for this very reason.
Some interesting comparisons with female sexed gender woo competitors.. they get categorised by their sex.. good work from The Stare Media: https://youtu.be/bIb-JrY3Qas
Every last one of them , who allow this , are bastards .
The blatant bias BBC erasing WOMEN and applauding MEN.
That angered many...hope people don't forget.
Never forget ever.
it's something else right?

He is absolutely rubbish ... should go into one of those food eating contests.

I suspected he would.
I believe his previous personal best (post transition) was 135 kg, which I believe would have put him in the running for bronze or silver.
I’m just waiting for his failure to be blamed on unkknd comments by TERFs.
In the meantime, at least two TIMs are taking the places of women on the Canadian archery team & the US BMX team - with much less fanfare.
Has there been any coverage of these? Are the women whom they displaced known or identifiable, I wonder?
I have seen names - will have a look. Not quite sure how they’ve been calculated.
Yes, that is my feeling too. I think everything has been very deliberate for the political gain/TRA agenda.
Broken news (formerly breaking news) ...
"Everyone agrees trans women are women."
Richard Budget (IOC medical & scientific director) quoted on R4 today
Everyone, huh? Mr Budget should check out the replies to BBC Sports' tweet. 😁
In other news ... everyone voted for Brexit and agrees it's going well.
It's no coincidence that since Rio 2016 there are - suddenly - mixed-sex disciplines (relays) in athletics and swimming.
Gee I wonder what they're going to be the precursor to 🙄

The mixed sex event at this Olympics saw Canada field two males under the guise of identity.
Was it the triathlon relay, or the swimming relay?
Apologies, the archery mixed event. Missed a word there.
A South Park from 2019. I'm just going to leave this here...

Canadian* Olympic team.

That’s interesting, and I’ll keep that in mind. I’m going to guess Quinn won’t make it onto the men’s team for 2024, but I guess we’ll see.
Apparently women already can play on the mens team in World Cup and Euro matches etc. But for some reason are just never chosen. Funny that.
That photo. Micropeen.

Thank you so much for this link. Loads of useful info.
