I have just seen this on the www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/a3518988-Rachel-McKinnon-weightlifter-and-Abigail-Shrier#prettyPhoto thread posted by Clitherow and felt it needed a separate mention. If I was on twitter I'd follow him!

Don't know if this link has come through - never done this before, but rapper Zuby breaks British women's deadlifting record (whatever that is - sport not my thing) whilst identifying as a woman - pisses off Rachel Mckinnon and gains 2500 followers in 24 hours

All those men saying they're now terfs Grin

How about Venice?

Finally, sarcasm and humour might be the only way to properly fight this. Taking it seriously is going to get us nowhere. We need some proper comedians taking it on. Where are they?

I'm listening to his podcast now, the episode with Dave Ruben. It's really good. Currently talking about free speech.

Iused2BanOptimist · 27/02/2019 12:15

Right, who is going to take Zuby up on the offer?
Needs to be someone who can do humour. Nothing against earnest hard working feminists but to maximise the impact and gain respect from Zuby fans it needs to be the right person.

FemalePersonator · 27/02/2019 12:13

So you are cis racial? You are black and also identify as black? Brilliant

I thought that was great.

FemalePersonator · 27/02/2019 12:13

Have all our brains been trained so well that we use the correct pronouns even when it is a pisstake?

I can't speak for anyone else but my tongue is firmly in my cheek if I use she / her pronouns to describe Zuby.

Some great replies on that twitter thread. Belle Grin

HumberElla · 27/02/2019 12:10

Brilliant!

reallyanotherone · 27/02/2019 12:08

stunning and brave, @hackmum, stunning and brave.

BelleHathor · 27/02/2019 12:07

Go big or go home , love the stunning and brave Zuby 😀 Someone suggested that potus should do it too mobile.twitter.com/michaeljknowles/status/1100165655469281280 🤔🤔

hackmum · 27/02/2019 12:07

And at one stroke, Zuby has completely demolished McKinnon's argument that there is no difference in performance between men and women. So simple. I wish Evan Davies would go back and interview Zuby about her stunning achievement.

EweSurname · 27/02/2019 12:00

Not pronouns actually, but self-ID.

SharkBastard · 27/02/2019 12:00

I've gone queer for Zuby, she is brilliant

I think it's to highlight how much of a pisstake the whole pronouons issue is!

WeAreGerbil · 27/02/2019 11:57

Zuby is brilliant, s/he really gets it I also LOLed at "Stop questioning my lived experience" Grin Grin Grin

Lemoncakestrudel · 27/02/2019 11:55

I get that Zuby gets it. But from what I can see that he says hebis a man apart from when lifting the weights. What’s with the she? Have all our brains been trained so well that we use the correct pronouns even when it is a pisstake?

BettyDuMonde · 27/02/2019 11:52

Any nominations? I think Zuby and Meghan Murphy would have a blast.

Does the stunning braveness persist through all the other days of the week though? Is it confined to Tuesday? In my opinion Zuby is stunning and brave every day of the week Grin

Whatisthisfuckery · 27/02/2019 11:43

Can I just point out that on Zuby’s Twitter thread he said he identifies as a woman only on a Tuesday, so you’re all misgendering him on this thread. I shall report you to @MNHQ and West Yorkshire Police immediately for punishment.

Your transphobic literal violence disgusts me, you bigots.

WeRiseUp · 27/02/2019 11:43

Wine Zuby.

I needed a laugh!

Makes me miss Man Friday.

littlbrowndog · 27/02/2019 11:38

I like it when he goes
Don’t be a bigot to any critical tweets. Haha
