Hubbard\u2019s representation of New Zealand makes the weightlifter the first openly transgender athlete at the Games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a man competing as a woman,\u201d Favre said on his podcast, Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/brett-favre-unfair-transgender-female\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s unfair. It\u2019s not fair for a man, even if this person wants to be a woman or feels compelled \u2014 if you want to become the opposite sex, that\u2019s fine. I got no problem with it. But you can\u2019t compete against \u2014 males cannot compete against females.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I was a true female \u2014 I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying that \u2014 and I was competing in weightlifting and lost to this person, I would be beside myself,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Favre also commented on transgender BMX Freestyle rider Chelsea Wolfe, who made recent news for remarks the athlete made last year about hoping to burn the American flag on the Olympics podium. As noted by Fox,\u00a0Wolfe has qualified as an alternate for the upcoming Games.<\/p>\n<p>Wolfe shouldn\u2019t be allowed to compete, Favre contended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have her participate in my Olympics; go participate for somebody else. To say that is such a slap in our country\u2019s face. I can\u2019t believe this person can be allowed to participate for our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Favre is certainly not the only athlete to speak out in protection of girls and women\u2019s sports. As highlighted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/olympian-sharron-davies-blasts-olympics-allowing-trans-athlete-to-compete-against-women\">The Daily Wire<\/a>,\u00a0Olympic medalist Sharron Davies criticized the Olympics for separating sport by so-called gender identity, rather than sex.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have men &#038; women\u2019s separate competition [for] a BIG reason, biology in sport matters,\u201d Davies posted via Twitter. \u201cSeparate categories give females equal opportunities of sporting success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The swimmer added that \u201cthe average age of a female Olympic weightlifter is 23,\u201d while \u201cLaurel Hubbard is 43.\u00a030% unfair advantage! Sex not gender [for] sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2019, Davies sounded off on her goal to help protect women\u2019s sports, tweeting, \u201cI have nothing against anyone who wishes [to] be transgender. However, I believe there is a fundamental difference between the binary sex [you are] born with &#038; the gender [you] may identify as. To protect women\u2019s sport those with a male sex advantage should not be able [to] compete in women\u2019s sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease please take a look &#038; tell me how this is not going to negatively effect (sic) women\u2019s sport?\u201d Davies wrote in another post, captioning a meme that highlights recent transgender athletes cleaning up against biological girls and women in their respective sports.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.3267326732673\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Please please take a look &#038; tell me how this is not going to negatively effect women\u2019s sport?! \u2066<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iocmedia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@iocmedia<\/a>\u2069 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/transgender?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#transgender<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fC1Fap8Hlv\">pic.twitter.com\/fC1Fap8Hlv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sharron Davies MBE (@sharrond62) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sharrond62\/status\/1102562082766159872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 4, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
