All valid points, to be fair. The fishiest thing I suppose is that the NZ team chose not to appeal the lift that the judges denied him. Perhaps they just didn't want to push their luck, considering they were already presenting a man in a woman's competition.
Regardless, I think we'll see more trans athletes in women's sports next time around. Hubbard's failure will be used as a talking point by troons and their handmaidens, irrespective of whether he was throwing or not and a new generation of trans competitors will be inspired. Unless the culture somehow drastically shifts in the next couple of years, 2024 has the potential to be a real circus for women's sports imo.
