Rapper Zuby breaks British Women's deadlift record...

[TransposersArePosers]

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

I think so ewe. Unfortunately we all know that the many thousands of GC women speaking out falls on deaf ears. We need GC men to speak and that is who people will listen too. Sadly for us.

I hope Piers Morgan invites him on Good Morning Britain for a chat.

Because that would bring this issue to a new set of viewers who probably haven't thought about it too much.

And it wouldn't hurt Zuby's music career either.

I'd love to see Titania McGrath and Zuby teaming up to do a slam poetry and rap tour of the UK.

Make it happen.

Who could be persuaded to officially break some women's records?

They wouldn't even need to be famous, although that would give it a bit more of a pull!

Ha! What a wonderful woman Zuby is

Brave and stunning undoubtably

This is just too wonderful. I wish she were my wife.

This is brilliant.
Zuby gets it.

I’d like to see Andy Murray and Martina Navratilova team up for something similar.

This is simply marvellous

I was just wondering if Zuby might want to take on the under-13 girls' mile record for England? Currently stands at 5:14.1.

Cos I know Zuby does feel young in her pretty little head. And that is what counts.

Something like that be a good way to get publicity. Would make people laugh. And then think.

No reason why Zuby can't be transchronological. After all Stefonknee whatsit is.

I don't Twit, but I hope people are reporting those awful transphobic posts Zuby is getting.

How dare people suggest she is not a real record breaker?

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

When man Friday was going I did wonder whether men invading women's spaces in the same way would be helpful. I concluded that the discomfort to women wasn't worth it.

I now think that even if we have beaten the immediate threat of legal self ID (and by we, really I mean a few brave women, not me) we are still losing ground.

I think this needs more male allies showing the risks before women's sports go the same way as women's prisons. That said stunts have to be done in a way that is eye catching but harmless.

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

Zuby.

I needed a laugh!

Makes me miss Man Friday.

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.

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

Right, who is going to take Zuby up on the offer?

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

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?

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

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

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

I've gone queer for Zuby, she is brilliant

Not pronouns actually, but self-ID.

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.

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 🤔🤔

stunning and brave, @hackmum, stunning and brave.
