I get the feeling you are going to be hearing this a lot, but go back and look again. What you said is untrue.

A bearded pro powerlifter entered a women’s competition in Canada and smashed a record held by a transgender lifter who was watching on.
The NY Post reports Avi Silverberg, the head coach for Team Canada Powerlifting for more than 10 years, entered last weekend’s Heroes Classic tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta, after identifying as a female.
Video shared by athlete activist group the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) shows him walking up to the platform still fully bearded and wearing a regular men’s singlet.
He then casually bench-pressed nearly 167kg — beating the current Alberta women’s record by almost 45kg.
The current record — 124kg pounds — is held by trans athlete Anne Andres, who was seen watching Silverberg while volunteering at the event.
Andres also holds the Alberta women’s record for the dead lift, at 245kg.
The trans lifter won eight of nine competitions entered in the women’s category over the last four years, ICONS said.
As Silverberg broke her record, Andres stood off to the edge of the platform area, only strolling back on after the male lifter walked off.
ICONS said Silverberg “mocked the discriminatory (Canadian Powerlifting Union) policy” that allows competitors to register for events under their “gender identity and expression, rather than their sex or gender,” vowing “no consequences” for doing so.

CPU’s transgender policy states an individual “should be able to participate in the gender with which they identify and not be subject to requirements for disclosure of personal information beyond those required of cisgender athletes”.
It also states: “Nor should there be any requirement for hormonal therapy or surgery.”

Whilst trans are allowed in women's sports, piss taking will come their way

Content is out there, 6 million views

Matt Walsh's 'What is a woman' over 200 million views, outwatched all the latest box office films.
You think there are only a few people that are appalled by this mockery of real women

This is not what I asked. I asked if it was your level.
Does something become more true, the more it is watched?

I'm not the subject of discussion.
It does in Trans world where facts are ignored, ideology is what is driving this craze

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
To be fair I think the letters are getting a bit out of hand. To me the term 'gay' covers all non-hetero sexual orientations, and the term 'trans' covers all non-cis gender identities.
We should just have G&T.

Many LGBTiQ+ members just use the Q these days. At my age it doesn't fully land - some of us remember the sad days of 'queer bashing'.
At one time I used to say 'QUILTBAG'. It had all the right letters in it and tripped off the tongue, but not everybody was happy, so I thought 'fair enough' and stopped.
On one occasion I was stopped in the street by two lads and asked, 'are you a man or a woman'. I just said 'yes' and walked on.
On another occasion I was asked 'do you do men or women'. I said 'I'm ambivalent to the question'. I hope they had a Collins pocket dictionary.
With a friend who was asked a stupid question (she's tall), she said 'that's sounds proper queer now coming from you' as she looked him up and down. (She's Irish btw and sounded all the more effective with her accent).
