Is 275lb a good bench for a 257lb pound man? Just asking for my friend.It looks like the record was about a 275lb bench right?

If that were the case (blockers working), we would not see records being "smashed". If it were an even playing field, why don't we see women that transition to men competing and succeeding? You can be pro trans without allowing the absurdness of biological men in sports vs women. All this does is create animosity towards them, and puts women's rights in the toilet.I find the right is overly concerned with trans in women's sports. For some it's almost a singular voting issue.
With that said, I don't agree transgendered (m2f) should compete in women's sports. It seems like they have an unfair advantage. But I haven't looked into it too much. Maybe it's possible that testosterone blockers negate muscular development and maintenance and gives an equal playing field, and the media only reports trans victories which creates an impression of unfair advantage. So I have to be mindful of that. But with what I know so far (which is purely speculative) it's not an even playing field.
What about cycling, where a trans women won a stage by 5 minutes and is smashing records? We know about Lia Thomas. Its a lightening rod because it is absurd. Progressives push until lines of common sense are crossed pissing off people on both sides. Most dems don't want this shit, or things like legalized shoplifting or no bail for violent offenders. But extreme lefties push and push....and are eating themselves in the process, turning more people to the right every day.again, this is an extreme minority in sports. most sports do not operate this way, and even powerlifting doesn't operate this way in most places. but it will be a lightning rod for conservative outlets.
Lia Thomas can’t compete anymore. At least not in major competitions.What about cycling, where a trans women won a stage by 5 minutes and is smashing records? We know about Lia Thomas.

You’re misinterpreting. It’s not ALLOWED in most sports. It’s not allowed in this sport (powerlifting) in almost every place other than where it was.It's an extreme minority in sports because they're an extreme minority of the population.
That's completely irrelevant to the fact that it's unfair.
I'll do the buffalo bill tuck as long as I don't have to shave my beardIt looks like the record was about a 275lb bench right? If that's the case then any sherdoggie should be able to get up there and take the record back.
I am just curious....What could the defense possibly be? There is not 1 sane argument that could be made for allowing men in women's sports, no matter what they identify as. Science is science. Men are superior physically, if you argue that you are an idiot. You can't argue for trans rights by fucking over women's rights.This is low hanging fruit. The Sherdog libs don't really try to defend trans competing against women in athletics. Gotta head over to Reddit to find that level of zealotry.

When you think about this person competing it’s kind of a dick move
