USA Powerlifting bans all trans women from competing as women

I'm glad I get to chime in on this before 1000+ replies. I'm 32, MtF & have been on HRT for 10+ years & was a former Army Combat Medic(68W) & also a former powerlifter with over a 1200 total,

The ban is, for the most part, a good thing

Why? Well it's just too complicated. Everyone needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis so this, as a standard, is fair.

  • Here is me. Age 19. Fresh out the Army. I could deadlift 500+lbs, bench 305, and squat 400lbs for reps

  • Here is me now. My very first day in the gym after nearly 10 years, I deadlifted 385lbs. THAT'S A NEW STATE RECORD FOR WOMEN/MY DIVISION

Now let me ask you a question. Be honest. Yes or No, because something as a ban is a yes/no thing, whether you like it or not. Is it fair to cis-women that me, after not even lifting weights for nearly 10 years, to compete against me? Yes or No.

Sexual Orientation what's up with people in this sub (and IRL) hating on LGBTQ muslims (and other religious LGBTQ people)? Don’t Leave Out The T!
