Link: Appeals court sides with USA Powerlifting in defeat for transgender athlete JayCee Cooper The Minnesota appeals court handed a win to USA Powerlifting in its legal fight with a transgender athlete, sending the case back to the lower court to determine whether the male-to-female lifter was banned from the women’s category over her transgender status or physical advantages... USA Powerlifting kicked MR. Cooper off the women's team. HE sued and won. The appeals court has administered the appropriate kick in the balls. ...Scientific studies show that athletes who have gone through male puberty enjoy a large strength advantage over athletes who go through puberty as a female. The scientific studies also show that suppressing testosterone only reduces the strength advantage by a very minimal amount. Because powerlifting is a strength sport, the strength differences between competitors are significant. Excluding male to female* transgender powerlifters from the women’s division is necessary to maintain fairness and integrity in the sport... In blue Minnesota, no less. I'm looking forward to our resident holy wokesters wailing how MR. Cooper and his testicles are being oppressed so cruelly. *There is no such thing as "male to female." There is only male OR female. Period.
What’s disturbing is that this could even be I. Court in the first place. It simply never should have happened
