WELLINGTON: Transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard's gold medal-winning performance at the Pacific Games continues to reverberate long after the event, with a New Zealand women's group demanding sports authorities put a stop to"unfair" competition.
On Monday, New Zealand based lobby group"Speak Up For Women", which advocates that sport must be categorised by sex rather than gender identity, called on the country's Olympic committee and sports minister to"defend women's sport". That has been criticised by some scientists, who say it does little to mitigate natural biological advantages enjoyed by male-born athletes, including bone and muscle density.
