Transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard admits her career is all but over after suffering a gruesome elbow injury at the Commonwealth Games.

The New Zealander will bow out of the sport at a professional level after rupturing elbow ligaments in the women's 95kg+ category on Monday. The 40-year-old athlete, a hot favourite to win gold on the Gold Coast, twisted and injured her left elbow in her final snatch attempt.

She was seeking a Commonwealth Games-record of 132kg.

s a result, she took no part in the clean-and-jerk phase of the competition and the injury was on Tuesday confirmed as a ruptured elbow.

Hubbard told New Zealand team fans at the country's base on Monday afternoon that her future prospects in professional weightlifting were grim.

"My arm is busted," Hubbard said.

"It looks like it's probably going to be a career-ending injury, which is a real shame.

But I'm glad I've gone out trying to achieve my best on the platform."

Hubbard's presence at this year's Commonwealth Games had triggered controversy, with opponents claiming she holds an unfair advantage, having competed at national New Zealand level as a man before transitioning in her mid-30s.

She complies with regulations on transgender athletes laid down by the International Weightlifting Federation and the International Olympic Committee.

She admits she was anxious about what sort of reception she'd receive but was heartened by a warm and welcoming ovation from the Gold Coast crowd.

"The crowd was magnificent, I felt like a big embrace and I wanted to give them the best I can do," she said.

"My only real regret today is that I was unable to show them.

"They were absolutely fantastic, so a real credit to the Australian people and the broader sporting community."

But the issue of transgender athletes is certainly not closed for Commonwealth Games bosses.

CGF chief executive David Grevemberg said while Hubbard is eligible to compete under international weightlifting guidelines, it is clearly an issue that needs further discussion.

"This is something that members have expressed various opinions on and it's something that the weightlifting community needs to come together and have some robust debate, discussion, on," Mr Grevemberg said.

I find the whole thing hilarious..... sorry.... laughter is the best cure for stupidity and insanity.

Me too.

Are people really embracing it...or....is everyone so shite scared to say what they actually think anymore?
I find dealing with people it is the later. No one says what they think anymore for fear of being ridiculed. NOW THAT IS REDICULOUS!

Speak up and say what you feel people. It is okay to say that this bloke needs help. He does if he wants or feels the need to compete against women...because he is not a woman. FACT!

Same with that other loser in the MMA. What a dick.

Jerk and clean. Grin

I think we're making progress here.

Tranny weightlifters can't do the snatch or the jerk.
Perhaps a new move called the anchovy?

When a male anchovy gets a sex change, what do they sew into the vagina?

Mental disorder.

They need help....not praise.

Myth #8: Transgender people are mentally ill

Major medical organizations, like the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association, say being transgender is not a mental disorder.

The APA explained this in explicit terms when it stopped using the term "gender identity disorder" in favor of "gender dysphoria": "Part of removing stigma is about choosing the right words. Replacing 'disorder' with 'dysphoria' in the diagnostic label is not only more appropriate and consistent with familiar clinical sexology terminology, it also removes the connotation that the patient is 'disordered.'"
Gender dysphoria — a state of emotional distress caused by how someone's body or the gender they were assigned at birth conflicts with their gender identity — is a widely recognized medical condition. If untreated, it can lead to severe mental health issues, including debilitating depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

But the AMA, APA, and other medical experts agree that letting someone transition, which can entail medical treatments like hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries, without social stigma is the main treatment for gender dysphoria.

In this way, being trans isn't the medical condition; living as trans is in fact the treatment to the medical condition.
