Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva refused to shake the hand of Lin Yu-Ting, who has male XY Chromosomes.

That Bulgarian Lady clearly has her doubts for a reason.
The International Olympic Committee and the International Boxing Federation should publicize their clear rules and tests to save the pure sport idea and avoid anything else outside of the pure sport.
I remember the ancient Hellenic idea of ​​the Olympics. As the Patron of fitness and fighting, Hermes would lay down pretty CLEAR RULES to protect EVERYONE if he were the Patron of the Olympics today…

The rules are clear. Some people just don't like them.

Seems like a good idea to review them after the Olympics. But the way a bloodhungry crowd that hasn't watched a second of sport in their lifetime has jumped on this I personally find quite distasteful.

Civilisation and Barbarism.

I wonder what the contemporary World would be like today if barbarism had not affected too many destinies sometime in the 8th century…

4. My betting attention is on certain sports (like javelin) with a tradition of surprises, where the favourites are in the end losing.

I assume that you have specialized in this kind of sport from the era of Jan Železný to the present day.

It all started with the 2004 Olympics. These were the first Olympics that became a betting event.
So I started looking for events that favour big upsets and one of them was javelin. Unknown athletes coming out of nowhere in the end winning medals.

Allowing biological males to compete in women's sports, winning easily Gold medals with out even losing a single point in the tournament, sends the wrong signal to all countries.

It means they can send males to fight against women and get ALL (not only Gold) medals.

In these Olympics we noticed 2 biological males. In the next Olympics we will see dozens. Mark my words. If this disgrace continues, after 2-3 Olympics we will see only men competing in every sport, winning all medals.

Woke culture is something to study. How is it possible that millions of people see as normal what IS NOT NORMAL? We have all studied writing rules at school, which now seem to be invalid because they are not "inclusive." I wonder what my language and literature teacher would think about it right now.

We have all studied genotypes and phenotypes at school. And we all did exercises with Mendel's peas to see how chromosomes come together and form pairs. Now it seems that all human knowledge accumulated over the last millennia is being questioned by who knows who and I cannot understand what the interests are behind all this. I was thinking about Carmelo, my biology teacher when I was a child. What would he think?

About the opening ceremony. It seems incredible that it is the Ayatollah Khamenei who comes out in defense of Christian civilization and not Christian civilizations themselves.

I accept that you consider yourself an atheist. This is a personal matter. But your heritage is Christian. You have been baptized, and brought up in a Christian civilization. Nobody asks you to go to church every Sunday. But at least don't make fun of it. Respect is all that is asked.

Of course I am a fascist for saying this.

Richard Dawkins, probably the most important alive evolutionary biologist made the following post in X.
After that Facebook deleted his account. Not X.

X-META.png

And here is an investment idea that came to me after Richard Dawkins' post.

It is noticed that every company that went woke, faced significant problems in the future. Metaverse will not be an exception.
If you are invested in Metaverse, think again. This stock will be crashed by reality.

Of course, this is not a financial advise.

Well, honestly, I don't think you really know your history on this. Intersex people have been around for ages on the Olympics. IOC discarded chromosome testing in the nineties, because they kept finding people with "unexpected" chromosomes that had no proven benefit from those chromosomes, for example because of testosterone insensitity. Imagine being told by the IOC you're not a woman, but actually a man for absolutely no reason whatsoever. There are quite a few cases of this and really, these people had no idea. There was no reason for them, or the rest of the world, they needed to know. Not saying that's the case with this boxing duo, probably not but we have no clue. Only speculation.

And then the next Olympics that "we will see dozens". I don't agree. Normally it's the sporting bodies that make up the rules on who gets to participate where, and for a lot of sports these rules are pretty strict especially those sports where the difference are the biggest (athletics, cycling etc). If the boxing union IBA wouldn't have been taken over by Russians (whom the IOC don't like), the IBA would have organized this tournament and their rules would have been used. The IOC in this particular case however had to set up its own unit to make sure the Olympics boxing happened at all. In four years most likely boxing will be off the schedule completely because of the row between IOC and IBA (and if you seen any of the IBA press conferences you can understand why IOC has a problem with them). But anyway, in Paris and LA most sports won't be regulated the IOC. So I'll be happy to mark your words, but I don't buy it.

And more generally, I'm surprised to see people all over the internet advertising themselves as "anti-woke" but seem to be just as gullible to manipulation and fake news as people that describe themselves as "woke". You are being used, think for yourself and don't write down what others are telling you. You're falling into the exact same trap as the people you say you oppose. Anyway, my 2 cents.
