The Daily Caller is reporting today that Paul Bossi, the president of the 100% Raw Powerlifting Federation, said Wednesday in a statement posted to Twitter that Mary Gregory is a biological man but did not reveal this to the 100% Raw Powerlifting Federation League. The group boasts of their authenticity in weight lifting, saying they are “100% raw” and do not allow any wraps, supports or enhancing drugs. Because of this, Paul Bossi has removed the record set by Mary Gregory for a national women’s championship.

This is a problem we didn’t have to deal with in the past–life has definitely become more complicated.

The article reports:

The incident follows a May decision by the Swiss Court of Arbitration for Sport that though restrictions on testosterone levels can be discriminatory, such discrimination is a “necessary, reasonable and proportionate means” of ensuring the equality of female track and field competitions. The case drew international attention after two-time Olympic champion Caster Semenya, widely believed to be intersex, challenged testosterone limits for female athletes.

“Any records set by trans woman ( those born males with male biology & advantages) should be removed when all of this confusion & unfairness is sorted out .. otherwise just like the cheating world records of the testosterone fuelled East Germans they will stand for years,” tweeted Olympic medalist Sharron Davies.

Somehow I don’t think they had these problems before they discovered the impact of testosterone!
