On Sunday, a biological man who identifies as a woman took the Masters world records for women’s squat, women’s bench press, and women’s deadlift. A female Olympian responded by condemning the “pointless, unfair playing field” where biological women are beaten by biological men who identify as transgender women.
“What a day, 9 for 9! Masters world squat record, open world bench record, masters world dl record, and masters world total record!” Mary Gregory posted on Instagram. Gregory thanked the Raw Powerlifting Federation. “As a transgender lifter I was unsure what to expect going into this meet and everyone – all the spotters, loaders, referees, staff, meet director, all made me welcome and treated me as just another female lifter– thank you!”
Transgender activists may celebrate these world records, but former British Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies condemned the basic unfairness of biological men competing with biological women.
“This is a trans woman a male body with male physiology setting a world record & winning a woman’s event in America in powerlifting.A woman with female biology cannot compete,” Davies tweeted. “It’s a pointless unfair playing field.”
Davies went on to lament that in many sports — especially in the United States — men may compete against biological women without having to undergo surgery or take hormones or even have a professional medical diagnosis.
“No surgery required today… no hormones… no medical diagnosis.. just self ID & reduced testosterone to a level x5 the highest average (98%) of XX females.. far worse than most realise. Madness & unfair,” she tweeted.
“The reason we have men & women’s races are because we are biologically different,” Davies explained. “Performance 100% confirms that. The reason steroids (including testosterone) are on the banned list is because using them gives you an advantage. FairPlay is racing by biology by sex not by gender.”
The organization Save Women’s Sports also drew attention to Gregory on Facebook.
“Mary was born a man and is very proud of this cool new trophy from dominating the women’s division in powerlifting,” the group posted on Facebook. “Mary now has the women’s masters world squat record, open world bench record, masters world deadlift record, and masters world total record.”
Indeed, some of Mary Gregory’s recent Instagram posts show just how masculine this transgender “woman” looks.
