Male Powerlifter Sets New Women’s Record During 2023 Western Canadian Championship

[Sugar Cookie]

A male powerlifter who identifies as a “woman” set a women’s national record at a championship in Brandon, Manitoba, yesterday. Anne Andres, 40, currently holds multiple records in the female division, including women’s deadlift and bench press, and has placed first in nine out of the eleven competitions he has participated in over the past four years.

Andres appeared at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship yesterday, which was held at Brandon University’s Healthy Living Centre. Andres participated in the Female Masters Unequipped category, and beat out Michelle Kymanick and SuJan Gil for the first place award.

According to advance results obtained by Reduxx, Andres total powerlifting score was over 200kg more than the top-performing female in the same class – 597.5kg versus SuJan Gil’s 387.5kg total. A “total” is the sum of the heaviest weight lifted for the squat, bench press, and deadlift.

Andres’ total would have placed him amongst the top-performing male powerlifters in the entire championship had he participated in the men’s category.

According to a source who was present at the championship, Andres set both a Canadian women’s national record and an unofficial women’s world powerlifting record.

'Woman' is just a social construct, right?

It just keeps getting better and better, women fought so hard for equality and now to weak and woke to fight back against the political scum

And we are "bigots" for saying somethings wrong with that...

Just for the record, I could not care less about sports.
But this is about having a fair chance.

And it's how it starts, next week, I'll lose a dick measuring contest to a Babylonian demigod


I love this quote from that Riley girl

Next women's record in power lifting...

The only problem is, it was not set by a woman

When you have to win at something so desperately you'll go to any lengths.
Speaks volumes of some serious mental illness there.

So, what's being suggested is that transsexuals competing against women is like a women who has been training with steroids.

How is one not okay and the other is?

Do you remember the female athletes from East Germany before the Wall came down? I remember seeing them in the Olympics and some were power lifters. They looked like dudes and they were strong!

I also remember steroid testing and disqualifying those that flunked.

The Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) has issued a six-month suspension to Anne Andres, a trans identified male competing in women’s powerlifting, for uttering threats and engaging in a campaign of harassment towards several women and sports officials.

Andre’s six-month suspension was recommended by ITP Sports, an arbitrator brought in by the CPU after Andres targeted several women, as well at the Alberta Powerlifting Union (APU), and the CPU, with abuse, death threats, and harassment. In their disciplinary ruling, made based on the decisions of a panel, the CPU deemed Andres’ words “harmful, disparaging, insulting, or otherwise negative.”

In his response to the original complaint which led to his suspension, Andres simply said “Fuck the APU.” They noted that Andres demonstrated “a lack of remorse” despite having removed several of his harassing posts from his social media accounts.

Andres’ conduct included threatening to commit suicide if the APU refused to comply with his demands, lying about having been banned from the female sports category, and bullying and harassing the APU’s executive board.

The anonymous CPU member who brought a complaint against Andres said that she felt Andres had been racist and made her uncomfortable after comparing himself to black women historically forced to use separate drinking fountains than white women. The complainant herself is a black woman. Andres also falsely accused the CPU, APU, International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), and sports officials of wanting access to his medical records and to also, bizarrely, “look at the genitals of kids.”

In an online post referring to both female powerlifter April Hutchinson and Alberta premier Danielle Smith, who this year introduced legislation to protect female sports categories from trans-identified males, Andres wrote:

“That fucking terrible human being from Ontario makes profits off of hate… that self-righteous bitch… goes and talks about how a trans basketball player is hurting women by playing… You fucking sicken me and you promote this kind of thing. There is no hell, but times like this I wish there was so you and Smith can spend eternity suffering… May your generation die painfully and leave the youth to inherit a better world.”

In a separate Instagram post, Andres said that he was “wishing death upon” Hutchinson.

But despite only handing Andres a 6-month suspension for his menacing abuse, the CPU had previously suspended Hutchinson for two years for calling Andres “a male” and advocating for female-only sports. After a legal appeal, Hutchinson reduced her suspension to one year.
