Trans Jamai Booker Demands Answers: Which Rule Took Her Crown?
Months after being stripped of her 2025 World’s Strongest Woman title due to birth gender revelations and past adult film roles, trans athlete Jammie Booker demands clarity on the disqualification rules.
Booker’s crown was removed just days after her appearance in November at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas, when organizers revealed that she was assigned male at birth, following the circulation among competitors of explicit images from her past as an adult film actress.
“So, can anyone actually show me which rule I broke?” Booker wrote in an Instagram Story post. “I’m told again and again that I violated a ‘clearly stated policy,’ but no organization has been able to show me that policy.”
“Strongman corp. IFBB. IPF. Powerlifting USA. The IOC. USS Strongman,” she added in a second post. “They all have policies on transgender participation as reference.”
After Booker’s disqualification, organizers stated that the rules specify athletes must compete in the category corresponding to their biological sex at birth.
The runner-up, Andrea Thompson, who called Booker’s title “bulls–t” as she stormed off the podium, was declared the winner, with Strongman officials saying they were investigating Booker’s participation.
“Had we known, or if this had been disclosed at any point before or during the competition, this athlete would not have been allowed to compete in the Women’s Open category,” the organizers said in a statement.
Other competitors, according to reports, were unaware of the biological sex assigned at birth.
“Trans women, people who were assigned male at birth, should not be competing in the women’s category,” said champion Rebecca Roberts in a statement prior to Booker’s title being revoked.
“What happened this weekend lacked transparency. None of us knew. Neither did the organizers. And when justice is caught off guard, trust in the sport begins to crack.”
“I was furious,” Jade Dickens told Fox News Digital. “If I had known, I definitely would have done something… even before the event was over. But no one knew.”
It was later revealed that Booker had appeared in hardcore pornography under the pseudonym “Jammie Jay” and had been nominated for the Trans Erotica Awards Show in 2020 and 2022.
