UPDATE: The title of “World’s Strongest Woman” has been revoked from Jammie Booker following explosive revelations about her biological sex. Just days after being crowned at the 2025 World’s Strongest Woman competition in Arlington, Texas, Booker’s title was stripped on Tuesday after organizers confirmed she was born male.
This shocking development has sent ripples through the strongwoman community, leading to immediate backlash and calls for stricter guidelines regarding transgender athletes. The decision to revoke Booker’s title came after explicit images and videos were circulated among competitors, raising questions about her eligibility under competition rules.
In a resurfaced podcast interview from July, Booker discussed managing relationships with multiple partners, revealing a candid look into her personal life. “I take each one of my partners on a date once a week,” she said, emphasizing the importance of scheduling to maintain balance with her training regimen.
However, it was the explicit content that sparked outrage among fellow competitors, including Andrea Thompson, who was elevated to first place following the title revocation. Thompson disclosed that none of the athletes had any suspicions about Booker’s gender until the distressing images surfaced early Monday morning.
“They were just as horrified when they found out,” Thompson stated. “We’re shocked… we’re going to investigate.”
In a formal statement, the Official Strongwoman Games clarified their policy, emphasizing that only athletes who are female at birth can compete in the Women’s Open category. “It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category,” the statement read.
Booker was reportedly contacted by organizers but has not responded to inquiries. The policy shift and its implications on transgender participation in women’s sports continue to ignite heated debate, raising broader discussions about equality and fairness in athletics.
As the strongwoman community grapples with the fallout, the focus now shifts to the future of competition regulations and how they will address similar cases moving forward.
Viewers are left to ponder the implications of this controversy on future competitions and the evolving landscape of gender identity in sports.
This story is developing, and more updates are expected as officials continue to investigate.
