Male powerlifter enters women’s event, breaks record

A bearded pro powerlifter entered a women’s competition in Canada — and smashed a record held by a trans lifter who was watching.
quote:
Avi Silverberg, the head coach for Team Canada Powerlifting for more than 10 years, entered Saturday’s Heroes Classic tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta, after identifying as a female.
quote:
Video shared by athlete activist group the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) shows him walking up to the platform still fully bearded and wearing a regular men’s singlet.
He then casually bench-pressed nearly 370 pounds — beating the current Alberta women’s record by almost 100 pounds.
That record — 275 pounds — was held by trans athlete Anne Andres, who was seen watching Silverberg while volunteering at the event.
quote:
The trans lifter won eight of nine competitions entered in the women’s category over the last four years, ICONS said.
quote:LINK
ICONS said Silverberg “mocked the discriminatory [Canadian Powerlifting Union] policy” that allows competitors to register for events under their “gender identity and expression, rather than their sex or gender,” vowing “no consequences” for doing so.

Dude is obviously based as shite and just wanted to smash that tranny's record, all while showing the absolute absurdity of it all.

Men need to constantly enter women’s competitions until this stupid shite stops. I’d bet that guy was making a point

I don’t feel bad for women athletes, most of them vote for this kind of stuff and support this line of thinking. Let them get a crash course in reality

Imagine being a professional lifter and a biological male and thinking it’s a flex to bench 270 lbs.
I know of at least five dudes off hand at my local gym alone that could beat that, including myself, as regular people who have just gone to the gym regularly for years. Probably not in a competition setting without practice, but still the point remains. I’m not sure what these transgendered athletes think they are accomplishing, but it simply isn’t an apples to apples comparison with their biological female counterparts.

This pleases me very much.
Women brought us to this point. It will be left to Women to end this. They won't, so, this incident pleases me.

Good on this guy.
The only way this nonsense will stop is if women make it stop.
They need to start screaming at the top of their lungs that mentally ill men need to stay the hell out of their competitions.

Good.
If we can get into "trouble" for saying a man isn't actually a woman then they should be allowed to dominate women's sports.

How have they not infiltrated team sports such as women’s basketball yet? One of those crazies would absolutely dominate.

the transformer, was there, said nothing, then later went home watched last of us episodes, and called dude a bigot.
