Male powerlifter enters women’s event to protest rule, breaks record

Let's speak about Anne Andres. She sound and looks like a man. Anne has or had male parts at some point. Anne has a son. Anne Andres looks like she had chest implants and lasers treatment. Do the same thing to Avi Silverberg. And add transgender females tittle on him. It's not much of a difference.

Looks and parts aren't supposed to have anything to do with what a person identifies as.

Looks and parts aren't supposed to have anything to do with what a person identifies as.

It should when it comes to fair compitition against women in sports. Like I said. There's no difference between Avi and Anne. Except one looks like they have chest implants and possible laser treatment on the face. And Anne have enough male testosterone to have a son.

Plenty of women think neither Avi nor Anne should be competing in womens athletics, or joining them in communal restrooms, locker rooms and showers.

Male powerlifter enters women’s event, breaks record

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.

A bearded pro powerlifter entered a women’s competition in Canada — and smashed a record held by a trans lifter who was watching.

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.

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.

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.

CPU’s trans policy states that an individual “should be able to participate in the gender with which they identify and not be subject to requirements for disclosure of personal information beyond those required of cisgender athletes.”

This will go the way all other situations have gone where ideologues have pusheed this ideology. That is people will lose interest and they won't watch these events because they know its unfair and unreal. This happened with the Oscars, Bud Light and a number of other shows aned events where people just switched off. Its gone too far and nature has a way of coming back to remind everyone that you can't reinvent it.
