Omar Demands USA Powerlifting Lift Ban on Trans Women

Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) urged USA Powerlifting to lift its ban on transgender women competing against biological females in a January 31 letter, and called on Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison to investigate the organization for violating state anti-discrimination laws.

Omar sent the letter on behalf of JayCee Cooper, a male-to-female transgender constituent who was prohibited from competing against biological women. In the letter — which Cooper posted on Instagram Tuesday, prompting coverage from OutSports — Omar calls the notion that trans women have a “direct competitive advantage” over biological females a “myth” and accuses USA Powerlifting of unlawful discrimination.

It's a man's world, baby!  We've been taking over women's cycling for some time.

If they drop these bans soon there will be no more women's sports.  Any man who doesn't make the cut on the men's team will just "identify" as a woman and take a spot on the woman's team.
