(LifeSiteNews) — Female athletes won a modest victory against domination by men who claim they are women after the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) announced a change in rules.
The weightlifting organization announced that “transgender” athletes must present identification proving they have identified as the opposite sex for at least four years prior to competing against women. The gender-confused male must also prove he has a lowered testosterone level.
The change came about a week after a gender-confused man named “Anne” Andres set a Canadian powerlifting record.
He set the national record at a championship in Brandon, Manitoba, at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship after outlifting the females in the category by over 200 kilograms. He won first place in the Female Masters Unequipped category, as recently reported by LifeSiteNews.
Canadian competitive powerlifter April Hutchinson called the change a “BIG win.”
“It’s not a perfect policy but a step in the right direction,” Hutchinson wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “No more inclusion policy. See what speaking up can achieve.”
A big WIN for women in powerlifting Canada today. The @IPF_tweet has changed policy.
