Gender boxing storm reignites as defeated Bulgarian fighter 'makes female chromosomes gesture' in the ring after being beaten by 'biologically male' Lin Yu-Ting at the Paris Olympics​

The second gender row boxer who today won a medal has been plunged into a new controversy by her opponent. Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan beat Bulgaria's Svetlanak Staneva in the quarter-final of the womens' 57kg category. But pictures show Staneva making two 'Xs with her index fingers which appear to be making a remark about her opponents sex, which has been the centre of a huge storm at the Olympics. The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard

Yu-Ting has been accused of being a man, by the International Boxing Federation after failing gender eligibility tests in the world championships in India last year. Male chromosomes are designated by an X and a Y, while females have two X's. But one spectator said: 'it's quite shocking if that's what she meant. That she is saying she is a woman and her opponent isn't. 'It's more surprising, because she held the ropes open for Yu-Ting to leave the ring which was respectful.'

The two fighters did not initially touch gloves, but the victor went over to the loser and touched her on the shoulder after she had circled the ring. Syaneva left the North Paris boxing arena without commenting. Following the bout, Yu-Ting refused to be drawn into the ongoing controversy. She said: 'I have received many messages of support from my country and from people in Paris. I thank them.'But I have not been able to read them because I have shut down my social media.

Harley-Davidson faces 'woke' accusations from Sturgis bikers: 'Breaks my heart'​

Harley-Davidson is facing biker backlash over fears that the American motorcycle manufacturer born with the renegade image is now identifying as woke.

"@harleydavidson has been one of the most beloved brands in America but recently on CEO Jochen Zeitz’s watch, they’ve gone totally woke," filmmaker Robby Starbuck shared with his more than 528,000 followers on X in late July.

The bike brand's apparent decision to volunteer for the culture wars in America has been a high-octane topic at the 84th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota this week, according to both attendees and numerous social media postings.

"It’s branding suicide," Vinny Terranova, the owner of Pappy’s Vintage Cycles in Sturgis, South Dakota, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

"A lot of bikers are switching over to Indian," he said. "They killed Harley. It breaks my heart."

Harley riders have been concerned about the direction of the company since the German-born Zeitz took over as CEO at the height of the COVID pandemic in May 2020, say motorcycle enthusiasts.

"A vintage Harley valued at $30,000 just a few years ago is now getting only $4,000."

Harley-Davidson motorcycles have faced a sharp decline in perceived value among bikers since his arrival, said Terranova, who ran a Harley-Davidson dealership in Colorado for over 40 years.

"A vintage Harley valued at $30,000 just a few years ago is now getting only $4,000," said Terranova.

"People don’t even want to be associated with Harley anymore," he added, expressing his opinion.

Iconic motorcycle dealership shuts down after 110 YEARS amid 'chaotic' final days - as firm battles woke DEI​

An iconic motorcycle dealership abruptly closed its doors for the last time after 110 years amid some 'chaotic' final days, with the corporation now facing backlash for its woke DEI initiatives.

The San Francisco Harley-Davidson was founded in 1914 by Dudley Perkins and was passed along to three generations, becoming the longest-running family-owned Harley-Davidson dealership as it survived two world wars, the Great Depression and the COVID pandemic.

But the iconic location had been 'run in the ground' after it was taken over by Cliff Chester in 2018, former employees told Mission Local.

'Everything was just kind of chaos,' Carlos Martinez, who worked at the dealership for 22 years told the outlet.

He and others described how Chester allegedly mismanaged the dealership, amid surging crime in the Bay City.

The San Francisco Harley-Davidson abruptly closed its doors for the last time in June

They said the new management under Chester failed to enforce a number of rules as auto parts sat unlabeled and merchandise regularly went missing.

Workers also claimed there was no system for employees to organize invoices or packing lists, so orders were left unfulfilled.

Additionally, they said Chester put much less emphasis on building a good rapport with customers - something that was key under the Perkins family.

Both controversial "women" boxers went on to win their respective weight classes in the Olympics.

There are six women's weight classes in the Olympic women's boxing, meaning that in any single Olympics, there are six gold medalists in the sport. Using a statistic of the prevalence rate I could find for the incidence of intersex conditions that would leave XY chromosome-having people presenting with female sexual characteristics (1 in 4,500 births), we can conclude that a random sample of six women would have a chance of around one in one million of having two containing a disorder of sex difference such as these women have. Therefore, if it is indeed the case that Khelif and Lin both have XY chromosomes, it suggests that such a condition confers a significant advantage in women's boxing, due to the sheer improbability of two women boxers being olympic gold medalists in one year having these conditions if they did not confer an advantage.

Vermont parents lash out at latest woke advice on how they should refer to their kids​

Woke Vermont health officials sparked fury with a diktat telling parents not to use the words 'son' and 'daughter.'

Parents hit back at the Vermont Department of Health this week for it's advice, with one saying they were 'dumbfounded that tax dollars were spent on this nonsense.'

The health department ordered parents to use 'child' or 'kid' instead of 'daughter' or 'son', because the new terms are 'gender-neutral and can describe a child who may not be someone's legal son or daughter.'

Some also saw the memo as needlessly specific, with another piece of advice telling parents to 'say family members rather than household members.'

This is mandatory anti-racism training at the University of Arizona This whole slide raises all types of questions. Dystopian!

There is a guy, Professor Owen Anderson, who is suing the Arizona State University for this mandatory anti-white DEI training for faculty, as the ‘ASU Inclusive Communities’ course allegedly includes concepts such as ‘white fragility,’ ‘white privilege,’ and ways to ‘critique whiteness.’ A professor of philosophy and religious studies.

TikToker arrested after wrecking Greek flags at NJ restaurant thinking they were Israeli​

An anti-Israel TikToker who amassed millions of views for wrecking a decorative string of Greek flags that she confused for Israeli outside a New Jersey eatery was busted for the ludicrous blunder.
Amber Matthews, 23, was charged with bias and intimidation on Tuesday for ripping down the Greek flags attached to the awning of Efi’s Gyro in Montclair on March 11, according to the Montclair Police Department.
Matthews, who goes by “Ambamelia” on social media, posted the video of her hateful rage to TikTok on Oct. 15 – more than seven months after the incident – which has since generated nearly 4.5 million views and millions more on X.

Police launched an investigation in March after owner Efi Mihalis reported that an unknown woman approached the business and tore down their string of flags and decorative lights while repeatedly screaming there’s a “genocide going on,” police said, according to local outlets.

In the clip, two staff members came out, and one of them gently pointed out that the white and blue flags represent Greece.

​

Authorities reviewed security footage and found the suspect was in the establishment a week prior handing out fliers in support of Palestine, but had no leads until Matthews posted her now-viral video of the encounter last week.
“The time I mistakenly thought the flag for Greek was for Israel and took the restaurant’s flag down OMG,” the dimwitted TikTokker titled her video, which shows her snatching the Greek flags, screaming “look at that s–t.”

“Free Palestine, bitch!” she said loudly, asking confused-looking staff inside: “What you looking at?”
“You know there’s a genocide,” she barked at the cashier inside Efi’s, which bills itself as the “friendliest Greek restaurant in town.”

Police had no leads until Matthews posted her now viral video.

“I don’t stand for Zionism in Montclair!” she said proudly — while holding up a fistful of ripped-down Greek flags.
Two staff members eventually came out, looking confused and embarrassed for the hysterical hater — until one gently pointed out that the white-and-blue flags represent Greece – not Israel.
“What? Really? Oh, I thought it was Israel — my bad,” she responded.

“Oh s–t … it looked like Israel.”
Mihalis confirmed to the Post last week that the bizarre attack was not a skit, insisting her staff was “taken aback” when it happened.
“This was not planned nor was it calculated in any way,” she said.

He claim to Fame is shaking her cans and apparently, being stupid. If that isn't a little snapshot of an Awful Lot Of That Right Now I don't know what is.

They make actual books and stuff like that which can help scrub the stupid away.

Jaguar goes woke: Fury as car brand scraps logo, goes EV-only and says it's prepared to lose 85% of traditional customers​

The car firm, which is just over 100 years old, unveiled a bold rebrand yesterday that ditched most of its classic iconography, including the 'growler' badge featuring a roaring big cat that was front and centre of its most recent models. In an advertisement that featured precisely no cars and a techno music soundtrack, the firm said it would 'create exuberant', 'live vivid', 'delete ordinary' and 'break moulds' - but so far all it has done is stoke fury from its traditional audience. The firm's managing director has admitted that those who are likely angered by the rebrand are no longer the target market as it seeks to attract a new, younger audience with an all-electric range of brand new models.
