Something strange happened down in Arlington, Texas. A man named Jammie Booker entered the World’s Strongest Woman competition, and at first, he won. But there was a problem—and it was a big one. Jammie Booker isn’t a woman. He’s a man who says he identifies as female. The people running the event didn’t know this until after the competition was over. Once they found out, they did the right thing: they disqualified him.
Let’s call this what it is—cheating. The moment you let a biological man compete against women, the playing field is no longer fair. Men have more muscle mass, higher bone density, and stronger physical traits. That’s not opinion. That’s biology. And when you ignore biology for the sake of feelings, real women lose. That’s exactly what happened here.
Andrea Thompson, a real female athlete and former champion, gave it her all. She’s trained for years. She’s proven herself time and time again in strongwoman competitions. But she had to stand there and watch a man take her spot on the podium. She even muttered, “This is bullsh*t” as she stepped off stage. Can you blame her? She knew what we all knew—that something was wrong.
Her coach, Laurence Shahlaei, came out swinging after the event. He said Andrea was the real 2025 champion. And he’s right. She dominated in key events like the deadlift, log press, and circus dumbbell. She earned that title through hard work and grit. Not through loopholes or identity games.
Even Booker’s own sponsor, Iron Ape, dropped him. They said he had misled the organizers and didn’t give the full truth. They didn’t drop him because of his gender identity. They dropped him because he broke the rules. That’s called integrity. That’s something this country needs more of—especially in sports.
You see, this story isn’t just about a strongman contest. It’s about something much bigger. It’s about truth. It’s about fairness. And it’s about standing up when something doesn’t feel right. Right now, too many people are being told to sit down and shut up. They’re told that if they question anything, they’re hateful or closed-minded. That’s nonsense.
We’re seeing this same kind of thinking creep into schools, workplaces, and even the military. People are being forced to ignore facts and go along with whatever the loudest voice says. But facts don’t care about feelings. And when you let ideology replace reality, you get chaos. You get men in women’s sports. You get confusion instead of clarity.
Thankfully, this time, the truth came out. The organizers admitted they messed up. They took action and disqualified Booker. That’s a win—not just for Andrea Thompson, but for every woman who worked hard to earn her place. That’s a win for common sense.
We need to keep speaking up. We need to protect the things that matter—like fairness, truth, and honor. As veterans, as patriots, and as Americans, we know what it means to fight for what’s right. We’ve stood our ground in tougher places than a weightlifting arena. And we’ll keep standing when it counts.
Let this be a lesson. When the truth finally shows up, lies don’t stand a chance. And no matter how loud the mob gets, reality doesn’t change. Men are men. Women are women. And real champions don’t need shortcuts.
