Trans weightlifter Jammie Booker is breaking her silence after being stripped of the title of being the World's Strongest Woman in 2025.
Booker says she originally won the title at the world championship event held last year in Texas, finishing ahead of British competitor Andrea Thompson by a narrow margin. However, just a few weeks later, even officials were seen revoking her victory after it appeared that Booker broke the rules and lied, as she was born as a biological male at birth.
{img}This was revealed through a series of explicit pictures from her past in the adult entertainment world that happened to be spread among other competitors.
Organizers stated that the competition's rules needed athletes to enter this category linked to their biological sex that was assigned at birth. They claimed that they were not aware of Booker's birth gender at the time of this competition. Therefore, Thompson was retroactively awarded the title.
