In today’s report, I head to Olympians Gym in Maple Ridge, British Columbia to interview one of Canada’s strongest women, who is speaking out about the lack of inclusion and fairness female strength athletes experience when competing against biologically advantaged males in their sports. Maria Barwig, a single mother and domestic abuse survivor, won last year’s Strongman Corporation’s Women’s Open Heavyweight Weight Nationals and recently became British Columbia’s newest heavyweight pro. While Barwig has found an empowering release through taking the sport seriously, she says she felt helpless when having to compete against a biological male who identifies as a woman, named Audrey Yun.

  1. WTF BRUH
    these girls work their butts off and any man can outlift most of them in decent shape
    this is unfair
    these dudes need to back off or start their own weight division

    these competitions should be ashamed of themselves.

  2. I can't think of too many things more sexist and disgusting than biological men running roughshod over women in sports, and that government actually mandates it. What a sick society the West has become.

  3. When are these gender dysphoric women in “womens sports”, of which there is no such thing, are going to realize that this lunacy of sexually confused males “competing” with gender dysphoric women is the end result of 1st, 2nd, 3rd wave feminism? After all, didn’t women want “equality”?

  4. I'm a masters lifter in the Canadian Powerlifting Union and finally decided it was time for me to speak up. I made an IG post about my concerns regarding Yun's participation in the BC Winter Open, and sent an email to the CPU.. In the return email from the CPU president, I was told to refer to people by their preferred pronouns, or face disciplinary action against me as per the CPU Code of Conduct. And the following line is taken directly from the email I got from the CPU president "If you continue to attack registrants within our organization in this fashion, we will take the appropriate action as laid out in the policies above." I did in fact refer to Yun as "he", however I did not attack anyone, I simply expressed an opinion. I was also told that Yun is a member of good standing in the CPU. Maria and April are leading by example! REAL women in all sports need to band together, speak up and not be afraid of censure.
