The Spin

Left narrative

Stripping Jammie Booker's title is spiteful, narrow-minded bigotry that punishes athletes for their identity. Booker trained and competed under the rules she believed applied, earning her victory through dedication and effort. Sports should welcome all competitors and honor identity, not retroactively gatekeep based on birth certificates.

Right narrative

Biological males competing against women creates inherent unfairness that undermines female athletics entirely. Official Strongman correctly disqualified the competitor to protect the integrity of women's competition and ensure rightful recognition for female athletes. Fair competition requires categories based on biological sex recorded at birth.
