Male competitor Anne Andres, 40, recently defeated all female competitors at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship by lifting a combined score of 1,317 pounds, beating the second-place finisher by more than 450 pounds.
Andres, who claims to have transitioned to a female “20 years ago,” has broken multiple records since identifying as a female powerlifter in 2020, including in the most recent competition, Breitbart reported.
