NYC to pay top Non Binary finisher

here's hoping the best men with no shot at winning elite prize money sign up for this. eventually, when this backfires, they will have to do separate non-binary men and non-binary women divisions. hahahahahaha

So more males are going to win prize money! Sorry ladies.

Women to men trans will also fail the drug test

You can identify as non-binary on race day. It’s a flexible concept.

Got a link to show that this is indeed what happened? Folks advocating for non-binary divisions/prizes insist that this doesn't occur.

Non-binary runners who are NOT vaccinated will have to wait till January 2023 to claim any monetary prizes from New York Road Runners. I’m not sure there are very many of them though.

This goes for the rest of the non-Covid jabbed as they will finally be allowed to participate again. “The science” is changing.

This sounds like my kind of race. Lie about being vaccinated and lie about being non-binary and scoop up the money. I wish I didn't give up running. I'd make some nice spare change.

I don't have information about Minnesota, but all the winners in the new non-binary category covered in this NY Times piece are clearly guys who look like a zillion other guys.

One wears baby blue nail lacquer and has a lot of tattoos. Another has long hair. But they're all obviously men - young, fit white men whose appearance is so ordinary that no one where I live would bat an eye at them.

The comments are worth reading.

Men should get paid more for being faster, now we have a 3rd category where that can happen. Of course those "men" aren't really the type I'd want winning money but the feminized woke society we live in demands it.

Then 2:20 men should sign up under non-binary women and take her lunch money. They/it/Rupual said they can be anything at anytime and change without notice.

Right out of Hiltz's mouth. "I just feel like a dude some days." It just didn't happen on a race day.

Is too late for Bruce Jenner to make a comeback?

I see no harm in having a separate category for non-binary folks, but as with many things in life, it gets tricky when there's money involved.

At the Brooklyn Marathon, the winners of all 3 divisions took home $5,000. The men's winner had to beat roughly 1,890 other men, while the women's winner beat roughly 990 other women. The non-binary winner had to beat 13 other runners (with 2nd place coming in at 3:36). Should that be worth the same as beating 1,890 other runners?

Having a subjectively decided-upon lesser award for the non-binary winner doesn't seem quite right. Perhaps split the overall winners' purse according to a formula based on number of finishers? 65.3% of the finishers were men, 34.2% were women, and 0.5% were non-binary.

Any better ideas for how to split it up? Any good justifications for having all 3 be equal?

When with Goth finally get the category we deserve??

Goth is now Non-binary Antifa. Get with the times !

So, an opportunity for THREE males to win.

Awesome.

I bet Goths would actually make pretty good runners. Male Goths are skinnier than skinniest skinny pants.

Wait until this non-binary bullsheet hits the wheelchair athletes.

I know this is a weird thing to say but we should profile their gender actual re-assignment dates and support policy that makes an athlete await a 2-year transition period. This is to prevent people from hopping the fence whilst stealing the headlines and money.
