    ‘They Risk To Be Suspended’: Powerlifting Body Issues Ultimatum About Trans Powerlifters | The Daily Wire

    The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) issued an ultimatum to the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) warning the union to abide by its rules regarding men competing against women — which could mean a transgender powerlifter could be banned from the sport.

    IPF President Gaston Parage told The Daily Mail that his organization issued the ultimatum on Monday, pointing out that IPF rules state “no lifter should have an unfair and disproportionate advantage over another athlete.”

    “It is important to do that because we worked out the transgender policy we wanted to make sure that we don’t discriminate against women,” Parage declared. “It is needed to have such a policy to make sure if a transgender competes, that it is fair to the women. That is how we worked out the transgender policy.”

    Seriously this "Fortune Teller" guy has to be gay and hating himself because of it. You just don't get this level of emotional turmoil from anyone without something underlying behind it. Get some psychological help. There is nothing wrong with being gay, trans, etc etc but there is plenty wrong with how you deal with it.
     
  3. Is this the most pressing issue for Evangelicals now since Jesus’s philosophy is considered weak and liberal by lay people?
     
  4. This thread is about how even Canada doesn't want trans people taking over women's sports. And Canada is a pretty liberal cesspool when it comes to things like this. Amazing that NineButtEnder went back over my threads to comment on it. Shows just how boring his life really is. lol

    NineButtEnder then talks about his gayness instead of what the article is about. I guess perhaps he is fixated on his gayness instead of other things. Whatever. lol
     
  5. How about what the thread title is about and not how you see reality? What the shit does transgender weightlifters have to do with Jesus?

    You don't have to be religious to see that strong men taking over women's sport's is wrong do you?

    It might be good that some up there in Canada are finally growing some balls.

    How damned difficult is it to just make a transgender category? These people desperately want their own identity as a new gender, so give it to them!

    Trans v. trans.

    I am assuming this is a piece by the Onion or some other spoof website. The headline has to be for comedic effect.

    Yup, same as the Special Olympics. No way they can complete with able bodied and or mind.

    I can think of many on ET that fit that bill, the latter category.

    Billy that is now Betty should go up against Freddy that is now Francine.
