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

Brilliant!

Some great replies on that twitter thread. Belle

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

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.

I thought that was great.

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.

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

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?

How about Venice?

All those men saying they're now terfs

😂😂👏👏👏 brilliant stuff!!

Oh my goodness, the best thing EVER.

Thank you very much

I hope the press pick this up!

I really don't think we should hold it against Zuby that she is cis racial and thus has cis racial privilege.

Some people cannot help being born cis.

I can think of a list of comedians who could put on a great show and who I am sure are no fans of the lady dick but who will risk the hate?
Sandi Toksvig? Miriam Margolyes ?
Sue Perkins?

Doubt any of them would want to do a Martina as I shall hence forth call it.

How about turning this into a challenge?

British fellas are the most competitive of all fellas surely?

Surely they can post their own brave and stunning feats that break the women's British record in all the various disciplines?

Of course I am not ruling out an international competition.

We could all sponsor these feats with all proceeds going to Fair Play for Women. Crowdfunding maybe? Get the press interested.

As this is my idea, obviously I'd have to take 25% of all proceeds myself. Admin and genius fee.

Zuby has not copyrighted her idea so she gets zilch.

I am not on twitter but the sponsorship idea is genius. I would sponsor him/her to break as many records as possible!

Admin and genius fee.

So would I.

I am seriously thinking of nominating Zuby for an Ignoble Award.

In the field of biology, I should add.

popchyk if you simply identified as a man, then of course you would naturally be given credit/renumeration over Zuby (as a woman) - no admin or genius fee required!

Zuby's tweets are great. Unusual response from twitter to somebody lampooning trans ideology, unless they've not read any further!

Well done Zuby. You go girl!

I loved the Trans Exclusionary Rapper Dude (TERD) bit. I wish I liked rap, then I'd buy his music.

No Twitter TRA pile on?

What on earth makes Zuby exempt? Could it perhaps be that he is a big strong fella rather than a woman (it's Wednesday so I can say that because he's only she on Tuesdays)
