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.

They turned me into a salamander...but I got better.

Perhaps you can bench and squat more but do note the weights in the article are in Kg, not Lbs.
Newt agrees with you....
And all those female E. German Olympic athletes from years past.
They should go after some sort of reparations.

Great article.
Great article - thanks for posting this. Sounds like “Zuby” really has his head screwed on right and is a good conservative.
I agree. He’s making a very good point. Illustrating absurdity by being absurd, as Rush often says about his own satire.
This comment, ‘PS I identified as a woman… Don’t be a bigot’
is common transspeak verbiage and was part of his satire, but the gender fakers use it in all seriousness.
Translation: I am doing a stupid and impossible thing for entirely self centered and narcissistic reasons. You are not allowed to have an opposing opinion. If you express one, I will call you a negative name.
People fall for this hoax largely out of fear and that is why Zuby is asking, when did we get so scared of being called derogatory names that we stopped standing up for reason?
“conservative estimates of their populations outrank all birds and mammals combined in Northeastern forests. “
I pray for a salamander uprising and world conquest.
WE HAVE THE NUMBERS!!!
:D
