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 read a guardian article about more women coming out has lesbian over the age of 40. I can't believe it but a I think it is happening to me after watching her lift. Any advice on how to come out to my parents?

Yeah me too. Her. I'm a lesbian now, not a married mum of three

MrsJamin Now I'm thinking we should all get these... I've bought a t shirt from his website The discount code DEADLIFT works for 20% discount

It's all coming out into the mainstream now. The tide is turning.

Must say I always thought I was straight but I reckon Zuby could turn me...

—Only joking DH & children if you are checking up on me.—

@Xiaoxiong that was my tweet with the image, borrowed from a GC friend :o though I haven't had a (sensible) response to my follow up question. That'll learn me, I guess I'm definitely of "no consequence".

Haven't laughed this much in days! It looks like @glinner knows about Zuby - see here

God I love it when men just get it - not like the beardy-woke-bro-type who just like to tell women to stfu when they set their boundaries.

But ordinary men have always got it

It’s only the beardy wokie men who have pretended they don’t get it
And that’s all it is a pretence
Would they dtd on a transwoman

Naw

This is how to tackle the nonsense! I wish I was brave enough to wear one of Posie's Adult Human Female t-shirts to work and ashamed to say I'm not but reckon I could get away with a Zuby one even at my super woke work place

Zuby gets it!

In fact, all normal blokes get it.

I can't believe it has taken this long for someone to do this!

Go Zuby! I will sponsor you to break as many female world records as you choose in 24 hours. Any charity you like.

Prior's hairdo is reaching Trumpian levels of structuring.

Trumpian levels of denial too, MrsTerryPrachett.

Go Zuby!

This is brilliant. Thank you Ruby for being so #stunning and #brave.
Surely a leading contender for 'women of the year'?

I want to buy one of his t shirts, but I’m worried about his comment that he didn’t think he’d have much in common with feminists - are we all going to end up walking round in Zuby t shirts and then find out his music is all misogynistic shite?! Anyone listened to him yet?!

I’ve had a listen. Only a couple of songs but no, it doesn’t seem like the usual money and women crap.

Well articulated and clever. Will need to listen a bit more to get a hold of the lyrics but so far much better than drake and all the new whiney male rapper/singers.

Just had a listen and he's not bad actually, fairly clean for rap, didn't hear any nasty misogyny. Some religious background coming through.
Lol'd at this line (from his song 3:16 Stone Cold - which caught my eye thanks to a wrestling fan ex):

^Mix pretty with the gritty
peep the message through the ditties
Haters try to keep me down
I just stay up like fake titties!^

Yes, I gave him a play on Spotify and was pleasantly surprised! Apparently he has a first in computer science from Oxford but decided this was more fun. I'm sure Sacha Baron Cohen can relate Zuby seems a bit less risque though!

I don't think many people actually understand what 'feminists' are about/ for etc.

I also think a large number of men disassociate them selves entirely from it as they don't understand it, know it's just for women so let them get on with it, subconsciously feel part of the problem or do think it's something from the past. Women do this too. A large number believe more in equality together (I remember a heated debate about this on a local sling fb group.)

A few will also have subconscious misogyny.

If I'm quite honest I was probably around about there (equal together) about 10 years ago and I know I had to google the word misogyny a few years ago to double check it was what I thought it was (and I'm in my 40's ). But I didn't see how much I'd been gaslit to swallow whatever the guardian and general media told me was 'ok.' I'd been taught critical thinking but only to a point.

Lol! Tweet last night:

*What a crazy day...

3,000 more followers.

National records smashed.

And I've become a feminist icon.

See you tomorrow. 😄*

Plus the discount code on his t shirts is DEADLIFT!

I thought his/her comment about not having much in common with feminists was because of his/her very genuine views on his/her* ability to be a woman.

*Delete as appropriate depending on whether s/he is currently attempting to break a record...

This thread is making me laugh. Thank you, Zuby, and everyone who supports him / her. (Covering both bases in case someone reads my post on a Tuesday and reports it to MNHQ for mis-gendering.)

I've spent two days laughing but this morning I've woken up feeling grumpy because yet again - and sorry if I'm misgendering you Zuby - it's people sitting up and taking notice when a man says something.

Maybe I just need coffee. I do love the way the wokesters don't know how to deal with him.
