00:00:00.000 the power lifter. So this was in Canada. I'm not going to beat around the bush. It was a man.
00:00:05.700 It was an insecure, pathetic man who suddenly said, I'm going to identify as a woman and enter 0.99
00:00:12.540 a sport that is clearly, purely, you know, gender-wise, there's a huge advantage to being 0.98
00:00:19.940 male when you go into that power lifting. There's no beating around the bush. It's not a matter of
00:00:25.020 opinion. God, the loony left likes to tell us to follow the science. Well, let's talk about science.
00:00:30.260 Men tend to be stronger than women. That's why we broke up athletic events on gender. So this man
00:00:39.860 came in and he didn't just beat the women who'd spent all that time, did all that work, all that
00:00:45.680 dedication, training for this event. He didn't just beat her a little. So he lifted, and I guess it's
00:00:51.480 something where you squat and deadlift. I don't know. I don't do all that stuff. You can tell by
00:00:54.640 my build. I'm sure most of the women in that event, the real women, would still outlift and 1.00
00:00:58.900 beat the snot out of me. That's fine. But when you're getting to the high levels of these things,
00:01:03.440 you know, men who do that similar training will outperform the women. He outperformed it. So
00:01:08.400 by 200 pounds over the next closest woman, 200 pounds, like it just completely removed the element 1.00
00:01:14.520 of competition whatsoever. So that's just absurd. Yeah. 597 pounds versus the next person's 387.
00:01:23.880 What an insult. What an insult. And that we even have to discuss it. That we even have to say,
00:01:30.180 this is absurd. This is unfair. This is an actual assault against women. This is getting towards the
00:01:38.340 end game of the woke. This is how dumb they are. This really is. I mean, the woke began with women 1.00
00:01:44.240 back in the 60s and 70s when they weren't getting rights that they should have. When they were being
00:01:49.400 underpaid for the same job that men were doing and things like that, there were rights that were
00:01:53.820 being abused. Women were being left to hang if a husband took off on them. Things like that. 0.94
00:02:00.580 But now it's come all the way around, all the way around, and the woman loses her rights as long as a 1.00
00:02:06.440 man says, you know what? I think today I'm going to identify as a woman. We're not even talking about
00:02:10.420 somebody who's dedicated a life to being trans. We're not talking about somebody who's had,
00:02:15.400 of course, some of the surgical or drug transitioning or any of those things changed
00:02:20.460 their lifestyle. They just have to say, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
00:02:26.660 That's nuts. Yeah, I'm going to lay off the nut thing for a bit here. But you know,
00:02:31.360 self-identifying? No. No. It's crazy. And at least some of these sporting associations are saying
00:02:38.900 that's enough. But there's going to be pushback. I'm forgetting some of the names, but you know,
00:02:43.280 the case in the States with that man who's down there swimming and blowing all the women out of 0.90
00:02:48.380 the water as far as the races go. You know, defeating them all over the place down there.
00:02:54.560 And one of the competing women dared to speak out. She said, this is nuts. I can't compete with this
00:03:00.320 guy. And plus, he's standing around in the change room. I turn around and there's male parts behind my
00:03:06.920 head because this is a fully intact man. I'm not going to call him a her. Somebody who identifies
00:03:14.140 as a her who's truly trans, wants to live that way. Absolutely. But this clown? No, this is an 1.00
00:03:19.080 insecure, pathetic wretch who couldn't make it in his own gender competitions. He has a girlfriend, 1.00
00:03:24.560 by the way. So he thought, I'll just go beat the women. It is almost a form of beating women. And 1.00
00:03:32.200 we saw that case that I guess it did turn out. There's some truth. There's a guy joining a woman's 0.96
00:03:36.400 rugby team. You know, we, and we were supposed to deny reality. We're supposed to say there isn't
00:03:41.840 an inherent advantage. Of course there is.
