It can be hard, when we’re ignorant, and don’t understand basic biology. But when we grow up and get educated, we realise that men shouldn’t be in women’s sports and spaces, and stop being misogynistic against our own sex 🤷🏼♀️
It can be hard, when we're young, to not win a trophy sometimes. But we grow up and realize it’s not the end of the world and we don't need to turn that loss into our entire personality.

CORRECTION:
The above tweet erroneously states that Andres lifted a total of 210lbs more than the strongest female competitor. The incorrect unit was used.
Andres total powerlifting score was in fact 210kg more than the strongest female competitor, or approx. 463lbs.

Man wants women to give up places/records to men but then is happy to see dopers kicked out of athletics?(see earlier post on his page) Make it make sense.

For what its worth I'm happy for everyone to lose their/our records if it means we don't force trans individuals to be outted through a specific trans category or excluded from parkrun by forcing them into non-gender based categories...
