Report: Athletes Told to ‘Be Quiet’ About Trans Weightlifter Ahead of Olympic Qualification

Dylan Gwinn 8 May 2021

A former Olympic weightlifter claims that female athletes are being told to “be quiet” about transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard ahead of his Olympic debut.  Hubbard is a 43-year-old biological male competing as a woman. Should Hubbard pass the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) fitness and performance standards, he would become the first trans athlete to compete in the Olympics................“I’ve had female weightlifters come up to me and say, ‘what do we do? This isn’t fair, what do we do?’. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do because every time we voice it we get told to be quiet.”........To Read More.....

My Take - I know these kids have been training for years to be a part of the Olympics, but what if they all refused to compete as long as this unfair practice continues?  Sure, the first time it happens they will simply lose out, but they're going to lose out anyway when a genetic male outperforms them.  And getting second or third place shouldn't be their goal.

It should be all be about standing up for what's right.   But they won't because sacrificing for a value is now alien to the civilized world because the civilized world has abandoned the foundational Judaic/Christian values that created that civilization.
