-- who transitioned from male to female in 2013 -- has been selected to the New Zealand women's weightlifting team to compete in the women's 87-kilogram division.
But, the International Olympic Committee has specific guidelines for transgender athletes to compete -- testosterone levels must be below a certain level -- and Hubbard has met the criteria since 2015., issued a statement Monday supporting Hubbard. "As the New Zealand Team, we have a strong culture of manaaki and inclusion and respect for all. We are committed to supporting all eligible New Zealand athletes and ensuring their mental and physical wellbeing, along with their high-performance needs, while preparing for and competing at the Olympic Games are met.”reportedly called Hubbard's qualifying situation"unfair" and a"bad joke.
For those of you arguing that this guy is a female, I suggest you watch Kindergarten Cop. There is a 5 year old in that movie with some insight you are lacking as an adult...
This some bull
Why are we excited for this? Yay for transgender but not so much for women. This isn't a win for women.
Wrong on so many levels 🙈
Such bullshit! No way should someone born a man be allowed to compete in a women's sport. The advantage is unfair
It would be funny if I was Chinese born in this nigga body?! Then I would on the street saying: hi, I'm Chinese! 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾
They kicked out a woman and stripped her of her titles because naturally she made too much testosterone please tell me out this is fair. She was a track and field athlete from Africa! Make it make sense 🤦🏽♀️
Disgusting and absolutely stupid!
Is a man
This shit ain’t fair to the real women in the sport he will beat em for sure
Wow this is stupid. I feel bad for the biological women that worked so fuckin hard to have this one moment in history to be the champ the best and take home a medal. We need multiple division. Bio men and women and trans men and women. Keep it logical folks.
That's a man!! You can't change genders.
No problem at all with Transgender people until a man who trans to woman gets into sports. You can change the outward body & all however the DNA remains the same. The male to female trans keeps their strength. Not fair to other women competitors.
HOW IS THIS ALLOWED?CREATE A TRANSGENDER CATEGORY!!!!
I feel sorry for 'real 100% women' in this sport right now, hopefully this terrible transgender eww, madness doesn't effect other sports✌
South park hit the nail right on the head with this topic lmfao dudes going into women sports as trans and just beating them at everything.....
Ew
This is nonsense caster semenya
Doubt she does well.
Unjustified
I think this could be the end of women (born with ovaries) competitive sports!
Sorry that’s wrong
Trans woman in sports or Olympics good for them. Everyone need to understand being trans woman don’t mean they are stronger I bet cis-woman can beat trans woman in other areas in sports.
Thats cheating.
She isn’t an actual woman. Real women don’t need to transition. So take that shit get lost. I don’t care how she lives “her” life, or what she wants to be called. Just like I don’t care about her favorite color or partner preference. This is different, period.
See this shit unfair
She is inherently stronger than every other woman competing. She naturally has more muscle mass and more testosterone no matter how long ago she transitioned, and that’s scientifically proven. How is this fair?
This is a disgrace..nothing against the lbgqt community but there has to be a line that say biology and biochemistry matters if I’m wrong so be it…
If girls can enter men’s sports, men should be able to enter women’s!! Tit for Tat!
Men... We always win.
What I want to know is, WHO THINKS THIS IS FAIR?
Should be illegal. 👎🏿
Men are legitimately taking over all women's rights by claiming to be women in all areas of life.. so for all you women thinking youre empowering this 'woman' you are handing over your rights that your ancestors have fought for. Congratulations.
Ridiculous
Love it. There is a chance for me after all
Just start a trans-Olympics… that way they are able to function as the earlier greeks did in their homosexualities…
We can’t drink alcohol anymore and now we can’t play sports because of men. Sad times. Liberals bring all this on us.
This is nonsense. He must compete with fellow men or other trans what what
Tmz. You need to have a poll. Who thinks this is ok? A. This is ok B. This is not ok. Then we all shall know who are the idiots of the Twitter world.
Lmao what
Yaaaa. ...... All you liberals are happy about this.
woketards gonna woke
In time they'll be no more biological woman competing in professional sports it would be useless to think they would even have the slightest chance of a win.
well boys chop off your wiener win a Metal 👍🏽💪🏼😂🤣😂🤣
Unacceptable
Yeah but you’ll never see a person who transitioned from female to male compete in the mens sports
Is this allowed? The rest of the world still adhere to male and female categories. And a man should not compete against women.
Insane
Imagine the collossal ego it takes to participate in womens sports as a biological male.
SOOOOO
This is the stupidest idea that the govt came up with. Very poor
That’s a dude
billburr it’s happening
😂😂😂 just wait til records are broken
