The Olympics’ first transgender athlete: Team New Zealand sparks outrage after picking a transgender woman weightlifter who competed as a man until 2013 as rivals call it ‘a bad joke.’ “She’s too sexy for her shirt, too sexy for her shirt, so sexy it hurts.”

Many people are saying now that he lost on purpose, that he should have handled 120 kg easily, and the loss was to make the point that being a man gave him no advantage. Now the proponents of transgenders can always point to his loss as evidence that being a man gives no advantage.
I see he totally flopped, and that even though Olympic officials practically cheated to give him a chance at a third lift:

Studly there can't even beat chicks.
I guess it's back to the dating circuit.
Are insurance rates still predicated on biological sex? Or can you get a reduced rate for health, life and car insurance if you self-identify? I bet that's why they can't really argue bio-sex but they can mess with the gender description. This will be important if it goes to the SCOTUS. You can't have it both ways. I mean, at what point will men be showing up at abortion clinics pretending to need an abortion?
Never mind... I found out you can do all that but it has to be officially changed. Not just self-identify. Sorry.
Any male that can't compete with men, claims to be female, so they might have a shot at winning.
Somethings you just cant un-see. This IT is one. How narcissistic must one be to "change genders" just to obtain a medal?
Well, she or he or it or 'the thing' may be the first openly pretend woman Olympian, there were dozens of East German participants back in the day who shaved daily and had decidedly unfeminine necklines and bulging crotches.
Actually, if she can kiss her elbow she should be allowed to compete with the women.
I guess any old, fat, out-of-shape white man can be in the Olympics now. Just start singing, "I am woman, hear me roar!" and you're in like flint. Even me, at my advanced age: with my height and shoulders I would make a helluva power forward on the women's basketball team. An Olympic gold medal would look real good hanging next to my bowling trophy.
