    Will Smith May Play Serena Williams's Dad In New Biopic—And It's Stirring Up Controversy

    https://www.oprahmag.com/enterta…

    "The controversy doesn't have anything to do with the 50-year-old star not having a background in tennis, his athletic ability, or lack thereof. Instead, many are questioning whether Smith's skin tone, as an African-American man, is dark enough to play the father to Serena, 37, and Venus Williams, 38."

    British rapper Zuby conducted an experiment Tuesday on Twitter, challenging the new idea that there are no inherent gender differences by doing a live weightlifting demonstration where he, "identifying as a woman," broke the British women's deadlift record.

    He has become an unlikely feminist icon: the weightlifting hip-hop artist and Oxford graduate who set out to demonstrate that athletes who are genetically male should not be competing alongside women.

    The rapper, whose stage name is Zuby, was filmed last week 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 has had almost 1m views on Twitter.

    The 32-year-old later beat the UK women’s bench press record too, joking that his work was “strong, stunning and brave”.

    "I keep hearing about how biological men don't have any physical strength advantage over women in 2019," Zuby tweeted, referring to a series of recent articles insisting that male-to-female transgender individuals have "female penises," and that there's no inherent gender differences between men and women that should keep male-to-female transgender individuals from competing against natural-born women in athletic events.

    "So watch me DESTROY the British Women's deadlift record without trying."

    Don't worry. Zuby assured his viewers that everything was fine because, while he was deadlifting, he personally identified as a woman, making him eligible to challenge the women's record.

    So easily, in fact, that while he was at it, he tried for another: The women's bench press record. And, after that, the women's squat record.

    "May as well," the rapper tweeted, "to fight bigotry."

    When one "expert" on international competition challenged Zuby based on Olympic regulations, which demand a lower-than-10-nanomols level of testosterone for 12 months prior to competition for male-to-female transgender individuals to compete in a global contest, Zuby simply retorted that his critic was challenging what he felt in his heart to be true.

    "...Some of the most bizarre and dysfunctional behavior in
    America these days takes place on college campuses. Last
    year student protesters on the University of
    California-Berkeley campus physically prevented white
    students from accessing their classes and the Student
    Union Building to study. Incredibly, protesters declared
    UC-Berkeley was their university, even going as far as
    issuing a "notice of eviction" to white students before
    demanding that university officials create [safe] "spaces
    of color" for non-white students.

    But what if I told you that some colleges are starting to
    take on an eerie likeness of Jim Crow-styled segregation?
    In fact, there are so many examples of racially segregated
    dances, student housing facilities, and commencement
    ceremonies, it's hard to keep up. Vanderbilt, UC-Davis,
    Cornell, Stanford, the University of Michigan, and scores
    of other prominent institutions are aggressively
    practicing identity politics.

    There are far more egregious examples of the new
    segregation, too. Students around the nation have demanded
    no-whites-allowed "safe spaces" for blacks. The University
    of Minnesota offers a "Tongues Untied" program that
    excludes straight people and whites, according to Campus
    Reform. And it was reported in 2015 that a NYC school was
    asking third-graders their race and then dividing them
    into "affinity groups" (i.e., racial groups) for racial
    tolerance training.

    Of course, this doesn't come out of nowhere: The San
    Francisco-based Pacific Educational Group (PEG) - which
    devises materials for taxpayer-funded teacher training -
    actually recommends formulating student groups based on
    race.

    PEG tells the educators that minority kids frequently
    have a "different value and view on time, missed days,
    working together, and wait time between questions and
    answers," Gunn continues. Consequently, teachers should
    "'be flexible' with minority students who are persistently
    late or miss a lot of school days [and should] be tolerant
    if black children exhibit 'an exuberant participation
    style of shouting out answers and questions.'"

    Gunn further informs, "According to PEG, white culture is
    based on 'white individualism' or 'white traits' like
    'rugged individualism,' 'adherence to rigid time
    schedules,' 'plan(ning) for the future,' and the idea that
    'hard work is the key to success.'"

    What's so tragic about this is that by labeling
    success-oriented behaviors - or, more precisely, virtues
    and their sub-categories - "white," these "educators" are
    encouraging vice in minority children. Years ago it was
    only jealous peers who'd apply this destructive social
    pressure, telling studious, academically successful black
    students that they were "acting white." Now this attitude
    has the imprimatur of authority figures."

    He cherry picked voxpopping idiot spineless ingenues on campus who'd say 'yes' to anything if they figured it'd skirt offending anyone.

    if he interviewed non-white students on campus who'd agreed with it, I might've believed it, but flip flopping between children, black people off campus and a member of the KKK looks certain to only derive one very predictable sets of answers.

    https://www.news.com.au/finance/…

    Some students in Australia found an empty computer room, which they used to do some school work, but it turned out to be a computer room reserved for the aborigines. An employee of the university (an aboriginal herself) expelled them from there with a scandal. Students wrote about this on facebook, outraged about racial segregation. The employee appealed to the university with complaints of white racism, demanded an additional security system, not having achieved it, she sued the three students, three professors and the university for insults and harm to health, demanding 250,000 AUS.

    Every visually identifiable group must have its own nation, because in a free society there will always be some tribalistic individuals who will poison every discourse and discussion with their identity ideology till no end.

    Minorities who demand safe space (black student dorms, gender neutral toilets, aboriginal computer rooms etc) actually crave the ultimate safe space for their group - a nation, and the world will not come to peace until we all are segregated into our own neat little groups.

    "A transgender “woman” began calling spas in British Columbia, asking that they give him a “Manzillian” wax, and then taking careful note of those who refused. He then filed 16 human rights complaints against sixteen women who refused to handle his penis, claiming that he had been discriminated against.

    One of the estheticians, a single mom who works out of her home, already paid J.Y. $2,500 to withdraw his complaint so she could simply get on with her life. Two and a half grand, it turns out, is the amount of money that a single mom, seeing her livelihood threatened, has to pay to a man for not touching his genitals.

    According to John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, many lawyers are terrified to touch transgender discrimination cases for fear of being accused of transphobia, thus making it very difficult for the women being targeted to find any legal representation and increasing the temptation to simply settle. To fight these attack to the hearing stage, Carpay noted, would cost each of these women over $20,000. "

    TERF = feminists who do not consider trans-genders to be women

    I had to read this one a few times, shit got so complicated

    https://quillette.com/2018/11/28…

    "In April, a trans-identified biological male who goes by the name “Tara Wolf” was convicted of assault after beating 60-year-old Maria MacLauchlan, who had gathered with other women at Speaker’s Corner in London’s Hyde Park to discuss mooted gender-identity legislation. Prior to the gathering, this champion of progressive ideals had posted on Facebook, asking where the event would be taking place, as the assailant wanted to “fuck some TERFs up.”

    At this year’s Pride March in Montreal, biological males who identify as women led the parade, carrying a banner reading, “Transwomen first/Never again last.” One participant carried a sign with the words, “Begone TERF,” as if he were summoning his mystical powers to cast a hex on we TERFy witches. At Dyke Marches, lesbians who express reservations about making themselves sexually available to suitors who just happen to have penises are now commonly screamed at.

    In San Francisco, which one might assume to be a hot spot for lesbian pride, a group of women carrying signs that read, “Proud to be lesbian,” “Lesbian Visibility,” and “Lesbian not queer” were harassed and bullied. Feminist historian Max Dashu, who was in attendance, said she and the other “old lesbians” were surrounded by “young queers” who pushed them and chanted “TERFs, go home.”"
