April Hutchinson may not be able to compete for two years for speaking the truth but she won my heart and respect.

By Genevieve Gluck. November 8, 2023

A female competitive powerlifter for Team Canada who spoke out after a trans-identified male athlete set a women’s national record at a championship in Manitoba has been informed that she is facing a two-year suspension from her sport as a result. April Hutchinson shared the news to X (formerly Twitter), where she has received an outpouring of support after she slammed the situation as a “horror show.”

“I now face a 2-year ban by the [Canadian Powerlifting Union] CPU for speaking publicly about the unfairness of biological males being allowed to taunt female competitors & loot their winnings,” Hutchinson wrote.

“Apparently, I have failed in my gender-role duties as ‘supporting actress’ in the horror show that is my sport right now. Naturally, the CPU deemed MY written (private) complaint of the male bullying to be ‘frivolous and vexatious.'”

Alongside her statement, Hutchinson shared images of the notice she had received, which reported that a discipline committee had convened on October 23 and had “determined that there is sufficient evidence for Major Infraction as a result of repeating offences, including prior warning.”

“Based on the information provided, the Discipline Panel is recommending that [April Hutchinson] have her membership to the CPU suspended for 2 years. We strongly feel this is a case of a repeated offence, and should be treated as such,” the notice read.

Hutchinson was reported to the CPU on August 23 by Anne Andres, a trans-identified male athlete who set a women’s national record at a championship in Brandon, Manitoba, on August 13. Hutchinson had publicly condemned his participation in the women’s category, and appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored just days after the championship competition.

“I’ve been a powerlifter with the Canadian Powerlifting Union for about four years now. Over the last year, I have been fighting my federation to ban trans women — also known as men — from competing with women in powerlifting,” Hutchinson told host Rosanna Lockwood.

“They have ignored my pleas, as well as many other women who don’t agree with it. They’ve actually threatened to suspend me for speaking up about the matter,” she added. “The threats keep coming, and disciplinary action for speaking up has been ongoing over the last year.”

“The whole thing is disgusting. It’s disgraceful. It’s disheartening,” Hutchinson remarked. “I’ve been threatened with suspension. Two weeks ago, I received a letter from my Federation, stating that I cannot call Anne a biological male.” In response to news of Hutchinson’s potential ban, The Daily Mail reached out to Andres for comment. He responded by telling the journalist who contacted him that “the blood of LGBT people” was on her hands, and added, “Get straight f*cked.”

Andres, 40, currently holds multiple records in the female division, including the women’s deadlift and bench press, and has placed first in nine out of the eleven competitions he has participated in over the past four years.

At the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s (CPU) 2023 Western Canadian Championship, Andres participated in the Female Masters Unequipped category, and beat out Michelle Kymanick and SuJan Gil for the first place award — with a total powerlifting score that was over 200kg more than the top-performing female in the same class.

A “total” is the sum of the heaviest weight lifted for the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Andres’ total would have placed him amongst the top-performing male powerlifters in the entire championship had he participated in the men’s category.

The Western Canadian Championships was held under the umbrella of the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU), which announced a gender self-identification policy earlier this year. The policy, which garnered mass backlash from women’s rights advocates, explicitly allowed any males to participate in women’s competitions on the basis of self-declared “gender” alone.

In February, the CPU’s “Trans Inclusion Policy” was released, containing an explicit statement that the CPU supported allowing transgender powerlifters to participate in the sex category of their choosing based on a guidance from the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES).

“Based on this background and available evidence, the Expert Working Group felt that trans athletes should be able to participate in the gender with which they identify, regardless of whether or not they have undergone hormone therapy,” the document reads, deferring to the “inclusivity in sport” guidance from the CCES.

Just prior to the CPU’s announcement of a gender self-identification policy, Andres gained significant notoriety after sharing a video of himself appearing to mock female athletes, asking why female powerlifters were “so bad” at bench press.

The widespread outcry against males in women’s powerlifting events, prompted by news of Andres’ participation and taunting of female athletes, motivated the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) to issue a policy change on August 21.

“For a transgender athlete to compete in the sport of powerlifting at any level, he/she must declare before competing that he/she is a transgender athlete. If an athlete fails to declare that he/she is a transgender and competes that violation leads to Disqualification of the result obtained in that Competition with all resulting Consequences, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes,” the IPF said in an updated policy document.

Increasing reports of male athletes identifying as female in order to compete in women’s events have attracted significant criticism. As previously reported by Reduxx, a Canadian powerlifting coach self-identified into the women’s category earlier this year and broke the Alberta women’s bench press record. Avi Silverberg was attempting to highlight the unfair advantage males have when competing in women’s athletics, in protest over the CPU’s recently implemented gender self-identification policies.

Not to show my age but the thought of men competing in women’s sports was funny when it was this guy

Say what you will about the 90's at least we had common sense about this issue

Can everyone shut the fuck up about DD2 microtransactions and talk about the dogshit optimization which is the actual issue with the game? Stable 30 is impossible even on min potato settings on the vast majority of hardware from the last 5 years.

^DD1 enjoyer who can't fucking play DD2

OK SO

This was years ago, but if anyone remembers way back when I built my PC and vlogged it

I ran into...problems. Boot loops, instability, memtest failures, figured it was just a bad BIOS update since an earlier one worked.

Well eventually I realized the QVL list was actually important and my RAM...was not on it. (I didn't even realize that RAM COULD be incompatible with a motherboard at that point.) I tried to update the BIOS for years and each time had to revert back immediately.

Anyways, my brother just upgraded his computer, going to AM5, so I had the chance to get a few parts. Thing is, if I wanted his 5900X, I needed a BIOS update. He also had 64GB of RAM, which again, wasn't on my motherboard's QVL (and I didn't want to swap motherboards else I lose my Windows OEM key) BUT HEY. What have I got to lose.

It spat out several different codes when the RAM was installed. Cleared CMOS twice before we could boot into a live Linux USB, but it DID boot into an OS. Just for the fun of it, we updated the BIOS, ran a mem test and lo and behold

IT PASSED. I GOT A NEW CPU AND MORE RAM, but my favorite thing is for the first time in 5 years, I COULD UPDATE THE BIOS AND NOW HAVE AN ACTUALLY STABLE COMPUTER.

IT WAS YOU' ALL ALONG

gabriels wings being made of light but what if they also radiated heat and made a faint buzzing noise? something something scorning the machine you slowly and reluctantly fell in love with but the buzz of your wings matching the hum of their inner machinery and there's not actually all that much separating you that wouldn't also separate the average person if you look past the metal or flesh. hey and what if i detonated.

OUGHHHHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Also worth noting that Unity absolutely sucks for anything with very large numbers of moving/interacting elements unless you're willing to put a lot of code time in to roll your own solution around Unity's proposed one. Games like Pikmin or Katamari Damacy implemented with the developer guide best practices would have extreme CPU-bottlenecked performance issues just due to how the engine works. If you see a citybuilder or strategy game or management sim chugging like hell under Unity (Oxygen Not Included being a standout example) just know that the engine was never intended for that sort of game and the developers had to learn that lesson painfully some time into development.

Please unionize development already. This isn't the first time this shit has happened with Unity and it won't be the last. If you happened to notice the huge spike in EA/announced VR projects being abandoned at the start of 2019, know this was another thing Unity did we couldn't do anything about. It sucks.

In the advent of Unity's new bullshit, I remind you:

MOST COLLEGE VIDEO GAME DESIGN CLASSES TEACH UNITY AND UNITY *ONLY.*

A GREAT DEAL OF THE GAMES YOU AND I PLAY EVERY SINGLE DAY ARE UNITY GAMES.

THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY *IS NOT UNIONIZED* AND THEREFORE DEVS HAVE VERY LITTLE ABILITY TO FIGHT THIS.

If you see your favorite games vanish suddenly, it's NOT bc the devs don't want you to play them. It's because Unity is a dick.

If I see you get mad at the indie devs that are being forced to either delete their work forever or cough up money they don't have, I'm biting you and your arm is coming with me.

3 Red Flags to Watch Out for in Cryptojacking

[mr-rogers-blood-stained-sweater]

These are scalper prices nvidia has moved onto the rtx 5xxx series (these ARE insanely overpriced for little performance increase but even the 5090's price is supposed to top out around 3.1k) I see 4090s around the mid to high 1000's on ebay.

Also the 60fps benchmarks you saw were likely with all settings maxed out, 4k res probablly rtx if it has it, most reasonable people have a 1080p or 1440p monitor and when paired with a decent enough gpu it shouldnt be too hard to acheive 60+fps with some tweaking.

I have an rtx 3080 12gb (about 400 used for the 10gb version) and its been more than satisfactory for every game ive played that had some attempt at optimization. If i hadnt stupidly broken my 2080ti i would still be happily using it, im still using the 9900k i got with it from 2018, its admitedly spitting fire at 5.1ghz but its still keeping up. We all really need to be less afraid of buying used and older computer parts, recent tech innovations seem to be adding extra features like ray tracing or new dlss versions, NOT huge increases in performance. Theres all kinds of wonderfully useful tech all around us and especially on ebay that will last for many more years!

Not that i doubt that monster hunter wilds is also very poorly optimized, so many modern games are and it does need to stop. Marvel rivals brings my 3080 to its knees without dlss or low settings and for some reason it struggles to fully utilize my cpu usually capping around 80 to 90% even if i have gpu headroom left.

Everyone is talking about Monster Hunter Wilds performance on a 4090 so looked up how much a 4090 is and my jaw dropped.

"Hmm, do I want 60 fps in monster hunter's badly optimized pc port or a Fucking Car?"

[thelvadams]

seeing everyone playing monster hunter wilds when i know i don't have time to try it right now:
