This is the moment a male coach claims to be a woman and smashes the female bench press record at a powerlifting competition in Canada.
Bearded Avi Silverberg is shown calmly approaching the bench in men's clothing as part of a protest against gender self-identification policies in sport.
Silverberg then unofficially breaks the female bench press record for the 84+ kilograms women's category, which was a 270lbs press - officially set by a trans lifter.
The move, which took place Saturday at the Heroes Classic tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta, was apparently designed to protest rules outlined by the Canadian Powerlifting Union.
Silverberg has yet to comment on his decision to enter the contest and subsequent victory.
Full stop, end of story, end of discussion, if you're trans, specifically an MTF trans person, you have no business in women's sports. When you compete as a biological male in the female sports, you're literally stealing records, and scholarships from them. I have ZERO respect for that.
