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

This image was also amazing, from that thread. The perfect response to "this never happens".

Is Zuby British or American? I agree, I definitely think he has been here....

Hi Zuby! ❤️

TinklyLittleLaugh · 27/02/2019 10:37

It really feels like the tide is turning now.

HamiltonCork · 27/02/2019 10:38

Good on her 😂

British.
Bio says she’s an oxford grad- not suprised.

I am going to buy the album. We need more women like this speaking out.

Standing ovation for this one.

Anyone who questions Zuby's accomplishments is a transphobic bigot.

BettyDuMonde · 27/02/2019 10:51

Zuby has definitely swotted up on the TRA talking points prior to making Zuby’s brave and stunning transition.

I’m impressed.

ILoveMaxiBondi · 27/02/2019 10:52

Oh how I love this!! Brilliant. Go zuby!

Popchyk · 27/02/2019 10:54

Breath of fresh air.

She says on Twitter:

"Yesterday I woke up with 19,700 followers.

I now have 22,500 and counting.

Thanks for your support in helping me challenge gender stereotypes and fight systemic heteronormative cis-male patriarchy.

As an (occasional) strong, independent black woman this means a lot to me!"

This is actually what we need isn't it?

Should we be encouraging more men who think women's sports are being trashed to identify as women and officially break records etc?

At the moment, the narrative is that no one would "go through the effort" of pretending to be a women if they weren't one just for accolades and medals but if the public can see how easy it is to do and how it can be exploited, and see that organisations and sporting bodies rules actively have made provision for it that'd change hearts and minds quickly wouldn't it?
