2.15 Zuby: How To Be a Rebel in the 2020s

New Culture Forum

Zuby, the self-styled "Jordan Peterson of rap", is this week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is...". The weight-lifting hip hop artist became an unlikely feminist icon for demonstrating that athletes who are genetically male should not be competing alongside women. In 2019 he was filmed smashing the British women’s deadlift record, in which the weights are raised from the ground to thigh level, while he said he was “identifying as a woman”. The video went viral on the Internet. The Oxford University graduate beat the UK women’s bench press record too, joking that his work was “strong, stunning and brave”.
