A transgender powerlifter is speaking out against USA Powerlifting’s ban on transgender athletes, alleging it isn’t fair to ban an entire class of people from an elite sport.
JayCee Cooper, 31, is a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman. Cooper first competed as a female in September 2018. The athlete’s Twitter describes Cooper as a “Queer and Trans Fathlete, Powerlifter, DJ, and Librarian.”
After competing as a woman in numerous high level competitions, Cooper registered to compete in a USA Powerlifting event and was rejected. “It took me aback,” Cooper said, NBC News reported. “I didn’t want to put myself into a situation where I obviously wasn’t welcome.”
USA Powerlifting denied Cooper’s application in December, barring Cooper from competing against women in the sport because Cooper is biologically male, according to OutSports. “Male-to-female transgenders are not allowed to compete as females in our static strength sports as it is a direct competitive advantage,” USAPL Therapeutic Use Exemptions Committee Chair Kristopher Hunt told Cooper in an email explaining the rejection.

F him /it.
Of course, the reason you are not allowed to compete as a woman is simple, you're a man. You may just be tickled pink to think of yourself as a woman, but you just can't think hard enough to pull that off.
Is Jake Day still upset about this?
The real war on women is because of Democrats.
Just let transgender's start their own competition and ban anyone who is not in their "class". Problem solved.
The solution is obvious: create transgender categories for the sport(s), where only transgenders compete against transgenders.
@7:00 the most obvious and reasonable solution but today's culture would dismiss it as discriminate
If they did trans against trans they wouldnt WANT to compete against another biological male. It would be " I'm a woman I should be competing against women, blah blah blah."
Just because you like some guy reaming out your butt does not make you a woman.
Sports HAS to be based on Biology to be a fair contest. How one "identifies" is for society, not sports competition. Man to man, and woman to woman. If not, there shouldn't be any distinction in competition. And if it's not a knitting or tying competition, women needn't even sigh up. Women have to step up to this affront to their sports competition, or biological women will have surrendered their sports to biological men. They are no match for the physical attributes of the biological male. It's the way God, nature, evolution, whatever, made humans (and other species). It's just a biological fact. It's why there are separate competitions in sports. It's science. But liberals don't believe in God, or science, anymore. They live in a made up fantasy world. Pathetic.....
Off topic just a bit!! Went to check out online dating site and o couldn't be done of the S*** I saw on there. It's a scary world we live in when a 50-60 year old man tries to pass themselves off as a woman!! FUGLY
Our society is crumbling right in front of our eyes. The general public celebrates these kinds of perversion now. Anything goes. Good is evil, lies are the truth, sex with children is fine, kids killing parents, parents killing kids, and so many other perverted practices and beliefs.
This country and society, in general, has been on a downward spiral for years. We finally have a leader that is making things in America better and he is vilified for it.
Large groups of people are determined to destroy this country and will fight tooth and nail to ensure it happens. When we lose this country and all it stands for, we won't get it back, and we won't have anywhere to go. America is the last place on earth where one can live without fear of being killed for something that is said or done.
But that is rapidly changing. When this country falls, where will you go?
