#NBCNews #TransgenderAthelete #Olympics
A disgrace for NZ beyond words……..he's a male!!
Laurel Hubbard is a trans woman at the #Olympics.
Satan is the author of confusion
Look father figure 🤪
New Zealand disgracefull gouverment
What a joke. complete bummer to the REAL women who put in all the time and effort to get to this level of competition. pathetic
Literally no one agrees with this
So glad to see that he/she got knocked out of the competition
#FailedAsGuy and then #CompetingUnderNewTerms and now #FailedLoserAsWoman
Dude wanted a snatch. Failed on 2 accounts.
This is f**** ridiculous and disgusting. Okay now we're talking about a f**** male bodybuilder against female get the f*** over yourself
Absurd so they allow natural born male to compete in female sports even though they have a physical advantage on them. Transgender athletes will always have an advantage because of they have different bone structures and strength that’s a fact. This should not be allowed in the first place
Laurel, for being who he is, has been criticized so badly on Russian state channel, it is like a witch-hunt against gays on Russia's TV state channels https://youtu.be/Ge42lldgP0k
Cant win as a MAN so ima become a woman .. fkn lame
Wins gold medal, goes home and goes back to being a dude……put money on it.
I feel sorry for the women he knocked out of the Olympics. Very selfish of him.
These people are not gonna stop .Give them womans sports .

~ They are just exploiting women's sports. The worst is that is is allowed. THEY should had their own sports category. Such a loophole of crap. ~
