"It's only One" TW in Women's Sports Pt. 1
"It's only one TW, it's not like they are dominating women's sports." This is one of the current talking points about TW in women's sports. More specifically right now, it's referring to New Zealand powerlifter Laurel Hubbard who is preparing to compete in the 2021 Olympics. I've criticized both the policies allowing TW to compete in women's sports as well as Hubbard herself. My criticisms of each though are different. I will not call Laurel Hubbard a cheater. She is competing under rules and guidelines that allow her to do so. I will however criticize her decision to compete. THAT is fully on her. Knowing a rule is unfair, and still using it for your personal gain does not make you a good person. Hubbard continuing to compete in women's sports is being selfish. "But it's only one! She's the first even though TW have been allowed to compete since 2004!" What most leave out of this is that the rules in 2004 were much stricter
