Well, even though she failed to complete the lift, IMO it's still wrong to include biological males from birth in women's sports, I see it as a war on women.
I do wonder if she was simply stirring it up because she couldn't make it as a male weight lifter so thought she would clean up as a woman,

Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, was eliminated from the women's 87+ kilogram competition on Monday after failing on all three of her lift attempts. Hubbard was the only one out of the 13 finalists that failed to complete a lift.
This!
At issue here is more than a few gold medals, or even more than a few women who are beaten in their chosen sports by biological males with suppressed testosterone levels who identify as transgender. What's at stake, fully and in a very real way, is the definition of the word woman and the female body. Are biological women something different from biological males or are they not? Can paperwork and desire make a male body into a female one? Is the mind so removed from the body that it can belief itself to embody a biological sex that its body does not reflect?
Whether Hubbard medals on Monday morning or whether she does not, the time for a reckoning is at hand. Either women exist as an identifiable entity, defined by physical characteristics related to their function as the mother of all human beings, or they do not.
