Jammie Booker, a biological male, was stripped of the 2025 World's Strongest Woman title after winning, sparking debate over transgender inclusion in women’s sports.

Jammie Booker, an American competitor who identifies as a woman, was stripped of the 2025 World's Strongest Woman title after organizers discovered he is a biological male. Booker had won the championship in Arlington, Texas, defeating Britain’s Andrea Thompson, who walked off the podium in protest. Officials disqualified Booker, stating they would not have allowed his participation if they had known his sex assigned at birth. The decision has sparked national debate over transgender inclusion, fairness, and the integrity of women’s sports, with Thompson and several athletes and coaches calling her the true champion. The Iron Ape, Booker’s sponsor, severed ties, citing misrepresentation.
