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 the TRAs struggle when a thread is funny (but then I'm not on Twitter so I only see the feeds posted here) because it just makes them look like humourless twats. However I am noticing that GC comments are getting lots of likes whereas the pro-trans ones frequently have no likes at all these days.

*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)*

What do they say? They’re the ones calling for self ID- if they challenge Zuby odenrifying as a women they’re bigots- by there own standards.

There are quite a few supportive TW on the feed.

Love it.

BRILLIANT. Just brilliant.

Acceptance without exception, right?

It works for Pip Bunce, the beard works for Alex Drummond, so who are they to challenge Zuby's womanhood.

May I ask: do the rest of you get an actual video of him lifting the weights? Because I only get a still; pressing the arrow gives me some noise and a crash, but the photo stays still. Wondering why.

Yes, I can see a video, Lamaha. It's v short and just him lifting the weight.

Loved this, not been on Twitter for ages but reminded me of it at its best.
Name changed for this post, as a bit outing, but my DH is a good amateur runner (c.16min for an off road 5k) and some of his university pals and their friends have run for England and/or won marathons. He's a teacher so probably not wise for him to self ID as a woman and run any races (not sure he's quite a record breaker anyway!) but I wonder if any of his speedy mates with less sensitive jobs might be up for it...

And this one;

Nobody's going to touch him. (a) He's black so they can't go for the gammon insult (b) He doesn't give a shit (c) he doesn't claim to be woke, rather he's right/conservative-leaning, so he's never going to be picked up by the commercial woke industry (Nike etc.) so he has nothing to lose there either.

Exactly. No sticks to beat him with at all.

Retroactively, you’ll be a hateful bigot at the stroke of midnight next Monday night.

Nobody expects the West Yorkshire Police!

Andy Murray is supposed to be retiring soon, isn't he? Sadly, I think he has too much respect for women & for tennis to turn up at Wimbledon next year wearing a skirt. I never thought I'd be disappointed about a man respecting women...!

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 meant satire, not sarcasm here.

This thread has been linked in his Twitter thread -- Hi there!

I wonder if they will look at their analytics and wonder why she's suddenly really popular with the older female demographic.

8I'd love to see Titania McGrath and Zuby teaming up to do a slam poetry and rap tour of the UK*
Bagsie front row tickets!.

Bold fail 🙄

Grifting is reserved for those who like to work the trans circuit (the circuit as described as Paris Lees I believe)

Brilliant. I love the tweets underneath especially the one suggesting that Donald Trump identifies as a woman for the day so that he/she can claim to be the first woman president.

Yes - this ⬆️. With bells on

waves to Zuby

"My preferred pronoun is 'The Great One'"

Guffaw.

Brilliance!

And spluttering tea at 'no one expects the West Yorkshire Police!'

That is so going on a t shirt.

But.... but.... but surely Zuby should be wearing pink sparkly gym gear for breaking all these records, cos that's what us girlies like to wear

Zuby is a scamp.
