La
pesista transgénero neozelandesa Laurel Hubbard hizo historia este lunes al ser el primer deportista que se convirtió en mujer en participar en unos Juegos Olímpicos en la categoría femenil.
Sin embargo, su
participación dejó mucho que desear porque no pudo levantar ninguna de las barras y se despidió muy rápido de los Olímpicos de Tokio 2020.

A trans athlete who goes by the name Laurel Hubbard (formerly Gavin Hubbard) failed to earn a medal in women’s Olympic weightlifting on Monday morning after missing three consecutive snatches in the super-heavyweight competition. “Laurel,” who was born a male and lived as a male for 35 years, underwent treatments to make him more like a female seven years ago. In other words, Hubbard had male levels of testosterone coursing through his veins for three and a half decades, giving him lifelong physical advantages over his female competitors.
(Aside: I don’t play semantic games with gender pronouns. When using masculine pronouns, I am referring to an individual born male, with male DNA.)
