record. in what's happening here is your guy. who was born male who finished in the race in los angeles this sunday becoming the 1st of a transgender woman to win gold in the competition. i am a world champion in the masters track cycling sprint event as far as we know i'm the only trans woman world champion in olympic event. even though it's a masters event. yeah that one podium photo is what everyone focuses on unfortunately people looked at me being bigger than the girls that i was racing and said it must be unfair look how much bigger she is. people who i meet david they do not no one trans despite what people love to think online so people see a picture of me when i had much much shorter hair because i cut all my hair off the hair and say oh well she obviously she's off she looks like a man. i've

received hundreds of thousands of hate messages at this point mostly on twitter. just the other day. so i posted that picture on instagram with so when we before we get on to get into the pedals and strap in we have to be held. and they always hold on to the saddle and someone puts in its being like izzy checking your sack and i'm just like. of course these comments get to me to some degree. i have a lot of therapy i have a therapist and psychiatrist that i seek to handle exactly this.

my name is jennifer wagner a sollie so i am a cyclist i started writing in 2005 i definitely do not think that it's fair for athletes that were born as biological males to compete in the women's category . so that was me on the right and the podium photo. so i decided i wasn't going to disrespect the race organizer or my country on the world stage and i smiled for the podium photo. but i knew i needed to start 'd fighting to change the rules i definitely don't think that that contest was fair because the winner had been born male and had gone through male puberty and had retained all the advantage that that entails if mckinnon hadn't been there i would have faced the 2nd place writer at

a later round and possibly could have beaten her because i had more confidence later in the race. i felt that wind was not earned and so i tweeted that i was the 3rd place writer and it's definitely not fair so after that twitter exchange i did find myself the target of some online hate it was really stressful time for me and my family and we actually feared for our safety. jennifer wagner she came 3rd in the sports event she. responded to. pretty much a hateful tweet on twitter saying that it's not fair for me to compete but what that in the glass is that. she has beat me in 10 to 13 races we've ever raced with each other. i don't know how it's unfair when she beats me 10 out of 13 times.

but i did finish in front of mckenna several times but that does not mean that we can and do not have an unfair advantage if you and i were running and one mile race . and you started 500 feet in front of me. i might still win but that doesn't mean you didn't have an unfair in feel and. opposition to transfer is pretty much always irrational fear which is the dictionary definition of trance phobia and transfer or rational. i do believe that transgender people have rights however sport is one thing that's always been based on sex and i definitely don't see a reason that we need to start changing that now because if somebody stealing it's .

self. my name is j.c. cooper. sort of powerlifting is a strength sport is 3 let's swap and. and basically the goal is to lift as much as much weight as you can in those 3 lifts. identified as queer it means that i get identified like what my section. it is and

that it's not a fixed thing. it could be fluid it could change from day to day again it's it's me saying i don't like your boxes i get to define what my sexuality is and what my gender is and you point in time. for sporting purposes that's different because i have to actually declare it but in my personal life queerness for me. is just as much political as it is personal. my name is beth. i'm a housewife mom and amateur power lifter. are at the 2019 minnesota women say championships. this was just 2 weeks after he won the minnesota women's u.s.

women's championship and broke a minnesota women's state record. that is our reality we are dimorphic species and we cannot change that if you ask me that she sees title in the u.s. p.a. is fair there's 2 sides to that it is technically fair. rules the u.s. p.a.'s out him to compete with the doping females. however i do not feel that those rules are fair it is not fair for a male to take the women's championship after in powerlifting the male advantage is huge bone structure muscle mass they play a role with every single lift in fact i have a female friend who's 11 time world champion in her 40. and her 15 year old son is

now close to breaking her records. today we're at the apartment click clinic and i'm going to get some blood panels done so what they'll do is they'll draw a few vials of blood and they'll test for testosterone.

testosterone is something that does lots of different useful things in our bodies and people think that it plays a vital role in muscle and strength development we also know quite confidently that if you take someone's natural level to stop and lower it they will probably get slower weaker. and now my personal bests are 215 in the bench. my squat is 3 or a little under 215 for bench and then about 364-3654 the deadlift i don't know what the best ever records are for power lifters but i know the nico for our own is in my weight class cheese lifting $1400.00 pounds plus. i'm lifting about. just under 900 so that's it's

a significant difference and not to downplay my own i don't think cheap stuff but in the grand scheme of things i'm still pretty in the middle of it when. i think people are looking at it very closely. as a way to eliminate trans people participation. without really looking at the numbers. he treated women in sports for a good reason. amount of transition by taking the morning testosterone can magically changing into. testosterone has been used by a proxy for womanhood and it's not we're not our hormone levels we deal with

pregnancy ministration men upon us and these affect our everyday lives they affect every minute on our training schedules. i myself know what it's like to have to live through having a cramp. and even gone through his carriage is to have some different training i had as hard as it is to get out of bed. powerlifting has empowered me through that and. it's devastating to me that these men say that they feel like a woman and they will not ever know what it's like to feel the loss of a baby they have to keep trading through that. there may be biological realities

that they will never face if they do not know what it is to feel like a woman we can simply feel our genders. one of the worst of a mass shootings in. 2017 the tragedy exposed a little of the real last big women who say elected officials are controlled by can see you know not. reveal where. really and now it's partly because. the american public barely remembers that it happened but just shows you the power of money and lost. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in

decades and then you have a mayor who doesn't care so here's carol i goodman offering the lives of the vegas residents to the control group. deep indifference to the people who have been saved if they were to take an action absolutely. machines doing in a money machine huge cash that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. very dramatic developments only. i don't see how it will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by

a dream shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask. always gauge with a. question .

if you're rich. you got. one now. so you should be seen more if you don't take. competitors. every single athlete especially at the olympics. we all have. other.

people like. all. the many times. his body proportions are ridiculous. for his body size. exceptionally big for his body. so he's born with all these ridiculous advantages that effectively make him a fish and we say. you know why are. you making people that are like. but for some reason transfused are treated differently activists like to argue that normal variation in human bodies makes up for the male advantage but this is simply a red herring. we can easily look in america at the high school track records and see that the best boy in high school beating the women's olympic record.

i agree in sports there is no true playing field however as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex there's no sporting categories for arm length or foot size we categorize by sex for the reason that men and women are different. and i think it's a legitimate question why do we have gendered sport do you have gender categories in sport because we do treat men and women differently so because women aren't giving as good coaching opportunities or women or are shamed as particular in this country from being great women with muscles called men the way we play with children is different we're rougher with boys than we are with girls we let boys climb trees and break their bones and we try to protect girls these social differences a matter to performance throughout our lives. males

have larger oregon and they have stronger muscles they're able to roll those muscles easier and hold on to that muscle mass for a bond or. if you look at sports across the board that are power based there's consistently a ton percent difference between the fastest men and the fastest women if there were no separate female category in sports it would be very difficult for any woman to be an. man in a lot of competition there be no medals prizes or celebrations for women again it's a social difference it's not biological so we don't know how much the difference between men and women is social and how much is biological.

also have a show us what your transition. medically. there is a social fascination with for example our genitals so it strikes us as people as a little weird that people want to know what generals we have when they have no intention of sleeping with us for example so. it's irrelevant to my day to day life for example what genitals i have so it should be irrelevant to how society treats us as well. as the. males competing in female sports it carries off of the field and goes into the bathroom and locker rooms it's a very private space for with mating and when we look at self reported studies of males who identify as transgender the vast majority over 90 percent. do

not have surgery they are intact males. 'd but they should through the surgery. i don't think i don't think i have to answer that. there are people in our society that don't want trans people in bathrooms and they don't want trans people to participate at all and something like as small as you know having access to. it is enough for so. people to get aggressive. they're worried that trench woman. commit some sort of crime or sexual assaults against this woman and we know that dots and unfounded fear. doesn't. transfer women are far far more likely to be to victims of assaults in a women's bathroom and insists women are at the hands of

a transient. it's not that they feel like all transgender people are a threat but by allowing them into our bathrooms in locker rooms we're training young girls to feel comfortable with male bodies in their private spaces this isn't right. calculated how many olympians there have been since the 2003 policy so that goes through the 2004 olympics in athens through the 2018 olympics in south korea and there have been over $54000.00 a limpy and in that time 0 turns off we have even qualified level one a medal. it doesn't matter how tiny a proportion the transgender athletes are just ask the women who they're beating and whose records they're taking.

i'm going to i'm from canada yeah i was a mechanic she's us also from canada but lives here in the united states. has transgender athlete and i think it's great that she's out here racing and that we're able to compete against her. i don't think that it was her being transgender having unfair advantage that she beat me in the race today i think it was a bit of an experience from my part and i thought to grow as a writer and get faster as well so. while we are only seeing a small percentage of males who identify as transgender entering the women's

competitions currently it has increased dramatically and in my eyes one woman losing a title is too many when these rules were changed there was not enough time for the athletes to qualify with this new rule and the 2016 olympics that's why we haven't seen man on the women's podium yet it's coming in tokyo. rose he needs a lot to me and i think one of our the day. here is a goal is to do it. if it's a good mental space you know it's a good place for me to. manage some of the early negative sides.

that society throws at you i put on girls sports team since i was 8 years old sports mean a lot to me i develop confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication sports have basically they've been why they have helped me through some of the most difficult times and i couldn't imagine my life without powerlifting now sport player. a massive central role in societies and many of our lives so to exclude a group of people for who they are from something so socially important is fundamentally unfair trans women are not men we're not men in dresses i worked so hard day after day year after year doing everything i can optimize my performance and i know that i can never compare to somebody that's going through puberty. it's

like banging your head against the wall do they really think this is fair. i believe the solution to males competing in female sports is there have in the male category or an open category for them to compete or for anyone who'd like to compete in it as far as having. a separate league or separate entity for trans people no i don't agree with it it's basically saying that no you are not a woman i think that the idea of having an other category is really based on peter fear trans people maybe succeeding because nobody has issues with trans

people in sports and told someone when it's transgender women are males. males to compete in female sports they will no longer have female sports to compete in or how men's sports. i think increasingly people are willing to say that trans women are women for sport and i don't think that makes much sense i don't think you can say that we are real women that we are. really fully included and we have all the same rights except for sport the practice of sport is a human right so to exclude trans women from sport is to violate a human right. 5

to stand. over them one has. a good armor on our show but there are rather tough as are the 4 of them together. i'm going to let them but i don't question them you. can keep an. eye and flew to china for trial for all that it. was then hi michelle the downside of. the hey. get this whole food place choice. and pay off the time in syria is.

a. model for them after the whole fuck around with mr hate to throw jim and then oil for hope that our freedom and of course. the money. the sport may be dated being published in the african scene you know data from the . chinese might seem like any other vaccine if the data holds all you can call them align the basis of that statement. i would say you ought to be using the scientific basis or vaccines are given that from a scientific or medical point of view we shouldn't be interfering with the process and if it's all also but. i'm going to trust my. purpose of.

bringing. employment in the. not. i'm not. i don't think is often the beginning of a us it's not yet you nationally for sides. can boy get him in the new all. the new version of the faith that. looks all extremists all of which i don't know much. new top of that if you should get a bill be you are you able review. in the store and. buying me a copy of the night. and let him know that you

can be born in the. italy and germany consider breaking ranks with. using russia. even if the european regulator doesn't give approval. to british controlled territories reject a government plan to send migrants stop the process of u.k. oppositions branded beyond inhumane and ridiculous. joe biden hints at the rise in hate crimes against asians in america was stirred up by. the mainstream media piling blame on. these clubs. thanks so much for joining us you.
