The winner of the World’s Strongest Woman competition over the weekend was disqualified after it was discovered she was born a biological male.
News of professional weightlifter Jammie Booker’s disqualification was reported Tuesday by the New York Post. The competition, as noted in the report, took place in Arlington, Texas, from Nov. 20 to Nov. 23.
According to a release from the Official Strongman Games, organizers were not aware that Booker was a biological male until after she had won. In a statement posted online, the organization made it clear that athletes must compete in the category of their sex assigned at birth.
Yeah, judging from his picture it's amazing that no one thought that might be a dude. Jokes aside, besides that fact that there are only two genders, it's funny how no one wants to talk about 95% of these lames competing in women's sports are white men. And that's no sheer coincidence.
