The Trans Takeover 5: REVOLT

It ain't over til we say it's over, baby!

#teamtgen is back with the biggest and baddest trans/gender expansive Powerlifting showcase of the year.

LFG!!

We're taking Trans Awareness Week by storm, again, with this year's iteration of The Trans Takeover #5.0 - REVOLT

T Gen is here to remind us all that trans people are strong, trans people are resilient, trans people are taking space.

But most of all, trans people are full of love, and we won't stop showcasing our incredible community even if the Sun itself is swallowed by a cosmic giant.

Nothing.

And we mean NOTHING.

Can stop our community from banding together.

Buckle in for the hardest show of trans power in 2026, darlings.

This one's gunna make you feel alive.
