Just like Sarah Robles or Iuniarra Sipaia (who was mentioned in the article as a previous silver medalist).
Nice try. Female weightlifters, even if they were born female, don't exactly have supermodel bodies in the first place, that's not the problem here. Try this.... How dare Lauren not have a body or face of a female.
Grats on being completely brainwashed.

Anyone have a problem with that?
I'd say... First, it is common courtesy to allow people to be addressed in the way they choose. For example, I will use the formal Dr. Smith, until the person tells me, "you can call me Mary". Why should it be our crusade to police pronouns? Or, how people wish to be addressed?
I've only ever been in competitions that are all gender inclusive, like team ski racing, rodeo, and horse showing. Although, for some reason in my days, only certain men of questionable psyche seemed to sign up for bronc, or bull riding. Now there are more colors in our rodeo rainbow. Google "Keystone State Gay Rodeo".
Laurel Hubbard is pretty brave to be the one breaking the new ground, and the rules are clearly established by the Sports governing bodies.
But you make the good point in your case, so I shall hereby refer to you as Dr. Jonathan Chase, or Dr. Chase as you prefer.
P.S. Please post recent photo's of your physique smothered with "Tiger Balm", if that's what the kids are calling it these days.
Brave? I'd say craving attention and wanting a free gold medal. I guess these days, that epitomizes bravery in some circles.
BTW, here's a home video of Laurel:
