Title IX

Powerlifter, Anne Andres, a 40 year old biological male, wins women's record in Canada. Andres' total weight lifted in squat, bench and deadlift resulted in a final score of 597 kilograms, which was 200 kilograms more than her closest opponent, Sujan Gill, who finished at 387 kilograms. With that total, Andres set a new Canadian women's national record at the championship, while it also being an unofficial women's world record. This is an extreme example but this same thing is happening in other sports. All of the progress that women's sports made since Title IX in 1972 is now in jeopardy.
