The 2023 Canadian Powerlifting Championships in Richmond, B.C., became ground zero for the debate over the inclusion of transgender women in female sport categories on Thursday, when members and supporters of the International Consortium on Female Sport made their stance on the matter clear.
The group, which advocates for a “dedicated category for athletes born female,” held signs and wore stickers reading “XY ≠ XX,” in protest of the policy that allowed a transgender woman from Calgary to compete in the event, where she won the bronze medal in her weight category.
CBC is totally on board of course.
