It has been confirmed that biological male Laurel Hubbard will be competing in women’s weightlifting at the Tokyo Olympics. It will mark the beginning of the end of women’s sports on the world stage.
Hubbard, a 43-year-old man who began to identify as a woman at the age of 35, will represent New Zealand in Tokyo next month. Hubbard is eleven years older than the recorded age of the next oldest qualifier, American Sarah Robles. Hubbard may not medal, but the reality is that this shouldn’t have happened regardless. Hubbard surely would not have qualified if not for being a biological male.
