Stuck on the sidelines: A transgender powerlifter fights for the right to compete
"It’s not fair to genetically eliminate an entire group of people," said JayCee Cooper, who was barred from USA Powerlifting competitions.
(https://media4.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2019_17/2836536/190426-jaycee-cooper-powerlifting-main-kh_136756baae21c79fbdde58458644c31c.fit-2000w.jpg)
The first time JayCee Cooper walked out onto the platform at a women’s powerlifting competition, everything else fell away: her years-long internal struggle over her gender identity, her decision to leave men’s sports when she began transitioning, her doubts that she would ever feel safe if she returned to competitions.
When she stepped out in front of a hundred people in the gym in Fort Collins, Colorado, last September, all she focused on was the barbell, which she hoisted off the ground. And then she heard the cheers of the crowd: "Come on JayCee!" She had found not only a sport, but also a home.
“In a world that wants to take away our power and strength,” Cooper, 31, said recently by phone from her home in Minneapolis, “powerlifting is a way to gain that strength back and feel powerful and feel ownership of our own lives. It helps us find strength within ourselves and helps us find strength within our bodies.”
Cooper signed up for more competitions, but, to her astonishment, USA Powerlifting, the sport’s biggest federation, told her that she could not compete in the women’s division because of her gender identity.
In an email, USA Powerlifting said she was denied because she had a “direct competitive advantage” over the other women who were competing.
"It took me aback,” Cooper said. “I didn’t want to put myself into a situation where I obviously wasn’t welcome.”

Cooper’s story received national attention after she posted about it on Instagram in January. She drew support from fellow powerlifters and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who slammed the ban on transgender women competitors as “discriminatory” and “unscientific.”

For fuck's sake just have transgender events and call it day. there are enough f a g s to attend.

Where are all the trans-whatevers that want to compete in men's sports?
-
Just do like they do in Thailand, allow transgenders to compete against men.
They actually won a Volleyball championship and several have competed successfully as Muay Thai boxers.

"Her" struggle, the modern day super-hero that "she" is... How stupid. ::)
Joe Rogan said it best recently about this nonsense. And Mark Riptoe also.

“I didn’t want to put myself into a situation where I obviously wasn’t welcome.”
This isnt how she really feels or she wouldn't make an issue about this.
She needs to compete against other transgenders, that is the only "fair" response.

Dime piece of tranny she is not.
-
All transgender people should compete against men. End of story.
-
All transgender people should be in mental hospitals. End of story.

All transgender people should powerlift. End of story.

I don't give a shit if someone is transgender or not and the whole bathroom argument is stupid but transgender "women" clearly have an unfair physical advantage in certain sports (probably almost all sports except maybe things like bowling, figure skating, etc...)
If they went through puberty as a male they retain those advantages
That's not debatable and, as of yet, I've never seen one of these stories where the subject addresses that fact

I'm surprised you're actually on the right side of an argument. Good for you.

you're surprised because you default to your preconceived prejudices about people you don't agree with
I've made multiple similar statements on this board on this issue

Wow, Straw, you are turning to the right.
Be careful!

The only creatures that feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel this sort of BS is fine and dandy are the kind that desire to have their perversion made legal.
Women, real women need to speak out against this bullshit and do so now! Martina Navratilova spoke against this crap and she was ravaged by her own kind until she pulled a islime and submitted to her fellow cucktards. Fuck That Noise.

Dude, you and Tre have this fixation on the transgender movement.
Have anything to tell us culero?

Not doing its movement any favors. This will alienate nearly every woman who hears about it, and 98% of men already don't buy XY+balls=female.
The Olympics might bring interesting consequences if one of these dudes wins.

I dislike conservatives, but I'll say this - right now, we are living in a world where free speech and thought is eroding and that is most definitely being championed by the left wing. They have absolutely no awareness of the utter bullying that is occurring as they see to destroy every single person who says anything that they feel is against their agenda.

Let him compete in the special olympics with the other "developmentally disabled" people.

You make about as much sense as the legendary screen door on a submarine. "Preconceived"? I'm surprised to see you're able to type that big word out. I bet you thought it meant something along the lines of an anal virgin birth. Fucking maroon.
As for "prejudices". Men and women of sound mind should be prejudiced against those that are against them. Ummm...that would be you and your kind, buckwheat.

The war against men includes becoming more like men, just weird stuff.

The sport of powerlifting has become completely ridiculous, anyway.
The majority of lifters are drugbags, tattoo-scribbled douches, 50-year-old angry women, twerps, and jackassey types.
