Trans weightlifter mocks female competitors as 'vile evil bigots' — taunts women about 'p**sing next to them'

A male who believes he is a woman lashed out at female weightlifters and organizers in Canada, mocking female competitors as "hateful" "bigots" ahead of the event.

The Canadian Strongman Nationals, October 22-23, 2023, will feature the "Strongest Woman in Canada" competition, the "Strongman National Championships," and more.

At least one male participant, transgender Audrey Yun, will be reportedly competing in a new category, according to Icons.

"Yun attacks competitors, reps and founders after Strongman Corp Canada changed eligibility guidelines for women’s category in record speed after [Maria Barwig],[April Hutchinson] and other female competitors spoke out against injustice in women’s strength competitions," the women's organization wrote on X.

"Yun is set to compete in a new third category established in the sport although recent vitriolic social media posts could have him banned for violating bullying and harassment policy," the post added.

Icons pointed to social media posts by Yun that showed a high level of vitriol toward competitors and staff.

"Man I am so disgusted to go to nationals and be around vile evil bigots. Yea the competitors, the reps, founders, etc too many of them. Just downright hateful and evil. Absolute bullies the lot of them," Yun said on Instagram.

"I wonder if they'll have a problem with me pissing next to them at the venue," he continued. "(Yes they will they've already said so out loud)," the post added.

The Strongman Corporation notes on its website that it has a commitment to "inclusion" for "all gender athletes."

"The pursuit of sport is one of the purest and healthiest endeavors that humans have enjoyed since the dawn of time. As the premier Strongman sporting organization, Strongman Corporation is committed to the inclusion, pursuit, and excellence of fair sport for all gender athletes," the organization wrote, before detailing its transgender policy.

"Those who transition from female to male are eligible to compete in the male category without restriction. Those who transition from male to female are eligible to compete in the female category under the following conditions."

The conditions include identifying as a female for at least four years, testosterone limits, and documentation of up-to-date medical testing.

A male powerlifter who beat female competitors in August 2023 caused a stir in the weightlifting community, resulting in the International Powerlifting Federation changing its policy, seemingly in response to the outrage.

Anne Andres, 40, won the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship by lifting a combined score of 1,317 pounds (597.5 kilograms), blowing second-place finisher SuJan Gil out the water after she lifted 854 pounds (387.5 kilograms), according to RT.
