I became a woman to break the women’s deadlift record (Lol)

spiked: Why did you decide to identify as a woman to break the women’s deadlift record?

Zuby: Around the time I posted the video, there were multiple news stories popping up about transgender athletes – technically biological men – competing against biological women. They were winning races and competitions in all kinds of sports. I’d seen this kind of thing springing up over the years, but in a very short period of time it seemed like there were lots of cases

Out of curiosity, I googled what the British women’s powerlifting records actually were and I saw that I could beat all of them. So that video I posted, that wasn’t me lifting my maximum – the women’s record is 215kg and my maximum is 275kg. It’s similar for the bench press. And the women’s squat record was roughly the same as my own personal best. So I tweeted the video:

I think that adding ‘PS I identified as a woman… Don't be a bigot’ is what made it go viral. I just tweeted it out there. At the time I had about 19,000 followers. I knew it would resonate with my audience. I thought they would find it funny and that would be that. But within 10 minutes the video had over 10,000 views – by the time I went to bed, it had over 300,000.

Everything just blew up and I started getting contacted by news organisations across the globe. It was weird on all levels. I tripled my social-media following.

Most people understood the point and found it funny. A very small percentage got upset and angry at me – but none could articulate why. I stoked the fire a bit by then breaking the bench-press record and doing multiple reps.

Zuby: Honestly, I wish we didn’t even have to talk about race. There was a period – certainly in my own life – where it seemed like people stopped caring about race. But in the past few years, there has been this concerted effort to make it a huge thing again. That’s one of the key reasons why I don’t like identity politics. I think it’s incredibly divisive. It’s not the way I was raised and it’s not how I think.

We have the "identity politics uber alles" President to thank for that.

The logical consequence to their reasoning and insanity. Makes just as much sense, why should it not? We are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

ROFL!!!

BUT HONEST, this is INSANITY!!!

What have we become?!?!?!?

Step back and REALLY THING about whats going on!!

Men just SAY they are women, and they are!

This may be pinpointed as the beginning of the end of America in future history books if the tide doesn’t change.

And tides are REALLY hard to change!

Anything Goes, Frank Sinatra. Words by Cole Porter. The original lyrics are very long and interesting, but this version by Sinatra is great. Notice the words, tame compared to what we are living through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYahz6VIpIM

I doubt it. They just banned dolls that look like children. I think we a century away at least before pedophilia is accepted if ever.

When did DOMA pass? Don’t be silly... the plan would be to reduce age of consent down slowly but surely... and then eliminate them entirely.

If Hillary had nominated the last two judges to SCOTUS there would be a right to child rape in the next ten years.

Great article - thanks for posting this. Sounds like “Zuby” really has his head screwed on right and is a good conservative.

I think he’s helping us.

He’s the kid screaming, “The Emperor is NAKED..!”

They wanted to preserve the illusion that trannys CAN compete as women and this guy just took a yuge crap on that idea.

Now the Emperor has to continue strolling down Main Street KNOWING that everyone knows he’s freaking naked.

The more women and tranny advocates he pisses off the happier I am.

They won't even mention pedophiles. No need to. It will be packaged as recognizing and respecting children's sexual rights.

It's already happening.

And it's all going to go down a consensual. If she (he) can consent at 18, why not 14?

If at 14, why not 4?

LOVE = LOVE

Got a problem with that, you bigot?

If you wanna get technical about it, let's discuss your DNA. I'm guessing XY? Am I correct? If so, you'll never be a woman no matter how hard you try and no matter how many disfiguring surgeries you have.

You're a man. Period.

I thought so, too. And I wonder how many people actually read the article ;-)

They need to re-label those starting blocks to “Girl” and “Boy.”
