Terfs just gotta keep on terfing

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/terfs-just-gotta-keep-on-terfing/

Terfs just gotta keep on terfing

It’s been like Terf Xmas this past week. Nonsensical terfisms buzzed around the internet like flies around a cowpat and even former children’s writer, JoKe Superterf got in on the action. Those terfs just gotta keep on terfing.

Shits and Giggles

Here in Australia, the Tickle vs Giggle court case kept headline writers busy trying to make cliches look fresh and original. For the life of me, I couldn’t work Shits and Giggles into a header. But I thought it fitted the way supporters of Giggle for Girls spend their days either giggling or throwing shit at Roxanne Tickle.

Bridie Nolan is the barrister representing Giggle for Girls and CEO Sall Grover in the Federal Court. She claimed this week that the respondents wished no indignity upon Roxanne Tickle or others who express gender identity.

Yet, a supporter and now friend of Sall Grover sells ‘Sweaty Balls’ candles featuring an unflattering caricature of Roxanne Tickle. Funds from the sales go towards Giggle for Girls and Grover’s legal costs.

On X, other supporters call Roxy ugly. They also deadname her. They call her a pervert, a misogynist and a stalker and cackle deliriously at tired old cross-dresser jokes we’ve all heard a million times.

No indignity? No indignity my fat arse!

Competitive Hot Dog Eating

Meanwhile, other terfs remain focused on excluding trans women from competitive sport.

Which sport this time?

As the subheading probably telegraphed, competitive hot dog eating. Terfing can get a little crazy. We all know that. But now a group called She Won has listed competitive hot dog eating among the pursuits where the achievements of female athletes “were displaced by males in women’s sporting events and other types of competitions expressly for women.”

The website lists three women beaten by Michelle Lesco during the 2021 Nathan’s Famous International Hot-Dog-Eating Contest. But there’s something problematic about that listing — other than the inherent discrimination.

Michelle Lesco is a cisgender woman. Michelle says the idea she is transgender originated with Sam Newman mocking her feminity a few years ago. But terfs are desperate to compile great long lists of trans women displacing cis women in sporting competitions. So who cares if a few cisgender women go under the bus along with the hated trans women?

All for the cause.

Terfing is as terfing does!

JoKe Rowling

Then there’s that former children’s writer. She must have been feeling ignored. Money can’t buy me love, sang the Beatles. Anyway, JoKe popped up to comment on the UK’s Cass Review into medical care provided to children with gender dysphoria. We’re not even going to bother with that. Scientifically unsound.

We’d rather listen to experts in the field.

People like the Head of the Trans Health Research group at The University of Melbourne, Associate Professor Ada Cheung.

Professor Cheung said, “The Cass report goes against the consensus of professional medical associations around the world.”

Or Transcend Australia CEO Jeremy Wiggins.

“Families deserve to be provided with all the available evidence about medical treatment, which the Cass Review has failed to do by excluding a significant amount of global research.”

But back to JoKe.

One of her followers suggested on X that a couple of high profile Harry Potter stars might apologise to her for their past support of trans women.

“Just waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology… safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them.”

But JoKe was in no mood for forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn’t make headlines.

“Not safe, I’m afraid. Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces.”

Save their apologies? They haven’t apologised. JoKe, like other terfs, appears to live in an echo chamber. One day maybe, terfs will return to the real world where the rest of us understand we all have to live together. We won’t hold our breath (Is that a sport? What’s the governing body’s policy on inclusion?)

ViolMelbourne anti-trans rally

Alex Antic’s trans prohibition bill blocked by Senate.

Greens blast ‘shameful’ anti-trans event at Parliament House.

Anti-trans abuse against Aussies ‘escalating rapidly,’ report finds.

4th of July @ Nathan’s Famous hot dogs

On the Fourth of July, the eyes of the nation will fixate on a tiny peninsula in Brooklyn to watch just how much salt and meat trimmings the human digestive system can handle before it shuts down.

We’re talking, of course, about Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island, a Fourth of July tradition that dates back to 1916.

That year, 24-year-old Jewish immigrant Nathan Handwerker stopped slicing bread at a restaurant to invent the next best thing: a hot dog stand at the corner of Stillwell and Surf Avenues that served up fast, cheap, and savory finger food.

Fast forward to today, and Nathan’s Famous is a publicly traded corporation with franchises all over the world. Not only is the original shop in Coney Island still standing, but it’s a lot bigger and sells a variety of delights (cheeseburgers, lobster rolls, frog’s legs) you can bring with you on a stroll along the boardwalk.

Meanwhile, the hot dog contest held at Nathan’s has ballooned into a full-blown television event: ESPN has owned the broadcasting rights for the past 20 years.

You can even place wagers on it, though don’t expect to make much money if you bet on Joey Chestnut or Miki Sudo to win. These two gastronomically talented athletes dominate the men’s and women’s divisions, and last year Chestnut won by 15 dogs while (expertly) subduing a protester who rushed the stage during the event.—NF

Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest in pictures

Joey ”Jaws” Chestnut gulped, chomped and powered his way to a 10th title on Tuesday, continuing his record-setting reign as the chowing champion at the annual Nathan’s Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest.

Shoving water-soaked buns and wriggling franks into his mouth on a hot, sunny day on the Coney Island boardwalk, he downed 72 dogs and buns in 10 minutes to beat his own record and hoist the Mustard Belt for a 10th time. Chestnut, who hails from San Jose, Calif., bested up-and-comer Carmen Cincotti, of Mays Landing, N.J., who ate 62 franks and buns on his 24th birthday.

Miki Sudo notched a fourth straight win in the women’s competition. The Las Vegas woman ate 41 hot dogs and buns to beat Michelle Lesco, of Tucson, Ariz., who downed 32 franks and buns. (AP)

In the race to scarf down as many hot dogs as possible in 10 minutes, competitive eaters may have a limit: 83 franks, buns and all.

That’s according to an analysis of nearly 40 years of the storied Nathan’s Famous Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest. Started in the 1970s in New York City, the contest now is a televised international event. The current record of 75 hot dogs — set in July — is an improvement over the competition’s early days, where winners were crowned after eating a measly dozen or so dogs.

James Smoliga, a physiologist at High Point University in North Carolina, was watching the hot dog eating contest in 2019 when an idea struck him: Could he apply the mathematical equations used to estimate the limits of athletic performance to feats of gluttony?

Smoliga dug into the hot dog record books. Based on data from 152 competitors over 39 years, he calculated an upper hot dog limit of about 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes. That translates to a consumption rate of about 832 grams per minute (and more than 23,000 calories total), Smoliga reports online July 15 in Biology Letters.

Whether or not competitive eaters ever reach that limit, the scale of improvement “completely dwarfs other athletic achievements,” Smoliga says. Record performances in sports like track and field have improved about 40 percent since record keeping began, whereas hot dog eating prowess has improved approximately 700 percent.

________________________________________________________________

This graph shows the active consumption rates, measured in hot dogs swallowed per minute, of winners of the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. Circles represent 10-minute competitions, squares represent 12-minute competitions and the curve (black line) represents the mathematical equation that models the change in rates over time. Physiologist James Smoliga extrapolated a maximum rate of about 8.3 hot dogs per minute, or 83 hot dogs for 10-minute competitions, based on how individual performances deviated from the curve.

J.M. SMOLIGA/BIOLOGY LETTERS 2020

________________________________________________________________

Humans even hold their own, pound for pound, against other meat-eating animals. When normalized for body mass, competitive hot dog eaters have a consumption rate that bests that of grizzly bears and coyotes, Smoliga reports, though wolves lead the pack.

Eating large quantities of food quickly can be a useful strategy for carnivores when food is scarce. And Smoliga says humans’ capacity for a relatively high consumption rate may have proved useful at some point in our evolutionary past. But nowadays, inhaling six or seven hot dogs a minute for 10 minutes mostly leads to digestive problems, and if you’re lucky, the coveted Mustard Belt of champions.

How much can a human eat?

Whether colloquial or competitive, the limits of human consumption have perplexed audiences for decades. From local restaurants’ challenges to national competitions, stomach capacity is an unanswered (but repeatedly tested) worldwide question. Although competitive eating contests have been around since 1916, records keep going up. In the absence of empirical evidence, some scientists are turning to theoretical models to answer this question.

While watching hotdog eating contests, Dr. James Smoliga, a veterinarian and exercise scientist at High Point University, became inspired. Dr. Smoliga went on to derive an equation to predict the maximum number of hotdogs that could be consumed over a period of 10 minutes. The equation relies on a mathematical analysis of past competition results and limits on human performance. Although purely theoretical, Dr. Smoliga is quite confident in the equation’s abilities:

The answer is 83 [hotdogs]. – Dr. James Smoliga

So far, the equation is performing well. At Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, competitors have come close, but never reached, Dr. Smoliga’s prediction. This fourth of July, Joey Chestnut broke his own record for hotdog eating, downing 75 hotdogs (adorned with buns) in ten minutes, just eight dogs short of the predicted max.

An organism’s eating capacity depends on its active consumption rate (ARC), the mass of food consumed in a given feeding time. Humans, for example, are predicted to eat a maximum of 832 grams per minute— that’s faster than grizzly bears (which eat 798 grams per minute) and cayotes (who consume just 192 grams of meat per minute). Gray wolves however, have us beat. Adults can consume 1,119 grams of food per minute. If wolves participated in a hotdog eating contest, the average adult would eat 112 hotdogs in 10 minutes.

Many researchers attribute these extraordinary eating feats to stomach plasticity. Observations suggest that successful speed eaters quickly expand their stomachs to form huge, loose sacs. Once expanded, these flexible stomachs are capable of holding vast amounts of food without emptying into the intestines— a key difference between competitive and noncompetitive eaters.

Noncompetitive eaters often feel full faster and with less food volume, factors likely due to the filling of the stomach and consequent movement of food from the stomach into the intestines. In contrast, competitive eaters can often eat more each year, surpassing personal records without traditional satiation. It is unclear if this performance curve is due to changes in the stomach muscles, which may lose their ability to contract over time, or in body composition. Extra fat tissue in the abdomen may prevent the stomach from expanding, pushing inwards on the stomach. Recent winners have been thinner, beating previous records by their plump competitors.

Irrespective of weight, scientists and doctors warn that professional eaters are more likely to develop morbid obesity, profound gastroparesis, intractable nausea and vomiting, and even the need for a gastrectomy.

Despite its growing popularity, competitive speed eating is a potentially self-destructive form of behavior. – Levine et al. 2007

Prior to pursuing feats of incredible eating, gastroenterologists recommend talking with your doctor and support staff. While gouging your weight in food may sound exciting, knowing the risks is an essential component for an informed decision.

What Is Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest?

Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest is an annual competitive eating competition that takes place every Independence Day in Coney Island at the Nathan’s Famous Corporation’s original restaurant.

This has been a highly popular and anticipated event over the years, as Coney Island is world-famous in terms of its summer recreational activities.

The origin story of this competition varies depending on the storyteller. One of the more popular tales has been told by former Nathan’s promoter Mortimer Matz. He claimed the first competition was held in July 1916 when he set up a hot dog eating contest among four employees to settle an argument on who was the most patriotic.

Let’s fast-forward several decades to the 1990s and 2000s. During this time, the Nathan’s Contest was dominated by Japanese contestants, most notably Takeru Kobayashi, who achieved six consecutive wins from 2001 to 2006. The world watched Kobayashi’s first win in 2001 as he downed 50 hot dogs and buns, destroying the old record of 25.5.

2011 saw the inauguration of Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest for Women. Previously, men and women had competed against each other with the exception of an all-women Memorial Day competition in 1975. Sonya Thomas became the first winner of this competition, putting away 40 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes and walking away with a prize of $10,000.

Over the years, awards and prizes for this competition have varied. Nowadays, the winner of the men’s division is awarded the coveted international mustard-yellow belt, while the winner of the women’s division is awarded a bejeweled pink belt. The belts stay in possession of the current champions.

Let’s Take a Look at the Reigning Champions

Joey Chestnut

Joey is an American competitive eater who currently resides in San Jose, California. Standing at 6’1” and weighing 220 pounds, Chestnut has won Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest every year since 2007, with the exception of 2015 where he was defeated by Matt Stonie, a then-23-year-old competitive eater and YouTuber from San Jose, California.

Chestnut’s initial win at the 92nd Annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2007 was against six-time defending champion Takeru Kobayashi. Chestnut ate 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes, a new world record.

Joey Chestnut’s accomplishments in the field of competitive eating and the world records he holds could be a separate article that would go on for pages and pages.

As of 2020, Chestnut’s 13 victories at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest make him the “winningest” athlete of a single event in modern history. This places him over wins for Bill Russell in the NBA, Henri Richard in the NHL, and Yogi Berra in the MLB.

Miki Sudo

Miki is an American competitive eater who currently resides in Connecticut but was born in New York, New York. She is a seven-time consecutive winner of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest from 2014 to 2020.

In her first win, she unseated Sonya Thomas, who had been the previous winner since the inception of the women’s competition in 2011.

Much like Joey Chestnut, Sudo is the winner of many eating competitions including the U.S. National Buffalo Wing Competition, World Kimchi Competition, and Chicago’s RIBMANIA.

She is ranked 5th in the world with the Major Eating League and holds the women’s world record in eating kimchi, ice cream, and, obviously, hot dogs. Her record is quite impressive and would take considerable time to discuss in detail.

Why Should I Bet on the 2021 Nathan’s Contest?

You might be asking yourself, “Why should I bet on this event?” One of the best reasons I can give, especially in the men’s division, is Joey Chestnut’s record.

He has won 13 near-consecutive Nathan’s competitions since 2007 with exception of his 2015 defeat by Matt Stonie. Chestnut is an almost unstoppable force and the odds for his victory this year remain super high.

Likewise, Miki Sudo has an impressive record in the Nathan’s Contest. She is the seven-time champion from 2014 to 2020. She defeated Sonya Thomas in 2014 who had been the three-time winner of the women’s division since 2011.

These contenders have had long-standing reputations of being fun to watch. This event is not only exciting, but also, there’s an entire list of bets for you to wager on.

What Are the Odds?

The odds for both competitors are even as far as over/unders. The odds for Chestnut to consume over 74.5 hot dogs are the same for him consuming under 74.5. Likewise, the odds are the same for Sudo consuming over and under 45.5.

As far as betting is concerned for over/under odds, this is a “pick ‘em bet.” It could go either way for Chestnut and Sudo. One might break their previous record, while the other won’t. Both could break their old records or they could both fall short. It really is up in the air for this element of the competition.

Betting Predictions for the 2021 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

My personal prediction is that Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo will successfully retain their respective mustard-yellow and pink belts at this year’s contest.

Having the advantage of winning the contest for multiple consecutive years, Chestnut and Sudo should reign victorious on Independence Day 2021.

It would be a huge feat to overcome the incumbent champions, but I suppose it’s not impossible. Who knows? Bodog fight wiki fandom.

Hot Dog Eating Contest

Maybe Matt Stonie could make a comeback this year against Chestnut and win by the skin of his teeth. Maybe Sonya Thomas could somehow ascend back to the heights of her three-year champion reign and score a victory over Sudo.

Hot Dog Eating Contest Record

At the end of the day, it is highly unlikely; it’s simply wishful thinking. I personally see Chestnut and Sudo absolutely destroying the competition this year.

Hot Dog Eating Contest Winner

As far as betting on Chestnut and Sudo to improve or fall short of their previous records, I would use your best judgment and proceed with caution as the odds are 50/50; it is anyone’s guess as to whether they can improve on their records from the previous year.

However, I would strongly recommend with confidence to bet on our incumbent champions to place first in their respective divisions at this year’s Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
