Male powerlifting coach Avi Silverberg recently entered a women's bench press competition in Alberta, Canada, by identifying as female. Silverberg beat the previous record set by transperson Anne Andres in an act of defiance against the Canadian Powerlifting Union's (CPU) outrageous policies. Silverberg, who does not truly identify as transgender, reportedly participated to protest Canada's self-identification rules. As of February 2023, Canada allows anyone who identifies as a woman to compete in the female category.
