The best men have always been willing to sacrifice for the greater good. And let me tell you, a man can make few sacrifices more awkwardly poignant than calling himself a woman.

But this hero did it:

Avi Silverberg, a powerlifting coach who has worked with Team Canada, self-identified as a woman last week to participate in the women's category at the Heroes Classic Powerlifting Meet held in Lethbridge, Alberta. Silverberg was attempting to highlight the unfair advantage males have when competing in women's athletics. In participating in the Saturday event, Silverberg unofficially broke the Alberta women's bench press record for the 84+ kilograms category.

Here's a shot of this fearless, brilliant woman, breaking down barriers and breaking records like it ain't no thang:

Yahs, Queen!

Here's a shot of our beloved Mx. Silverberg years before xhe came out as xur true self, lifting about 600 pounds just for the heck of it.

You can just feel the hateful testosterone coursing through xer's veins. Thank goodness xim finally saw the light and is now a proud womyn!

May Ari's record stand until the end of time!
