Black Female Bodybuilders




Black Female bodybuilders are a cultural movement that defies traditions. While many people accept the existence of black female bodybuilders--i.e., society at large is not used to seeing them--the sport still has its  enemies.

Black Female athletes are finally starting to break into the sports that were considered male-only. The WNBA has been around for a while and there has been female boxing for sometime. Black Female bodybuilders are the confirmation that we are living in a post-modern society - made up of different pieces and parts are mixed together and hard to categorize. They are big and muscular and they are graceful and beautiful.

Black Female bodybuilders using steroids can experience androgenic effects, many of which are irreversible, such as facial hair growth, acne, deepening of the voice, growth of the clitoris, thickening of the jaw, male-pattern baldness, and so forth. These androgenic effects result in blurring of familiar dualistic gender lines, and, when compounded with defined muscularity and breast implants, present us with a study in cyborg contradictions.

Black Female bodybuilders are often mocked and viewed negatively for not conforming to traditional norms of feminine beauty and gender roles. Female bodybuilders are as dedicated as their male counterparts are. They are as ripped, as shredded, often times better cut per pound than the men, then why aren’t they fully appreciated like the men?
