Zuby's tweeting about sport, with pictures

He's tweeting (tongue-in-cheek) about us having to raise our game as females, with photos. 200k+ followers and lots of his followers won't be following GC accounts I suppose... cheered up my evening. He's taking on people that reply, too.

I recently started following Zuby, no idea what he does really, but I like his tweets.

Didn't he break the women's world deadlift record a year or so ago by saying he identified as a woman that day? And showing how easy it was for a half-decent amateur man to beat professional women. I think that's when I followed him!

He's raising awareness but I believe he's also quite sexist and homophobic.

I don’t think his songs are derogatory regarding women - or so he says. I follow him on FB since the weightlifting. He comes across as ok.

Zuby is a raging homophobe and is anti choice to an extreme but he's also popular and has a fantastic visual impact on the trans sport issue - his deadlift record smash was very effective.

This is a fantastic infographic - high school boys NBNO finalists vs women Olympians. Who wins?

zebra what the hell, that is shocking. I mean it could not get any more obvious. How can there still be people saying "there literally is no difference between TW and women because they take hormones!" ConfusedShock

theflushedzebra - that's a fascinating resource.

I agree with Zuby on this, while disagreeing with him on most other things.

I follow zuby on twitter. I also follow caroline farrow and loads of other people. I dont agree with everything they say. He raises the profile on issues like this and he is not afraid to speak out.

I actually listened to his last album and quite enjoyed it.

For anyone looking for a good thread of sports images (I was), I came across this one recently, which has lots of good examples:

He came on here once and, if I remember correctly, we had a good old fashioned, no quarter given mumsnetty row about abortion rights. I still like him. He was on Joe Rogan a while ago and I thought he came across well. (They didn't discuss abortion though.)
