They pronouns are racist. I want to call they what she wants be to call they, but it sounds like she is making fun of people who aren't native speakers with they pronouns.
Editor's note on 7/1/2024- This 3-year-old thread is getting a lot of clicks as lots of people are googling Nikki Hiltz after NBC published an article "Transgender runner Nikki Hiltz is headed to the Paris Olympics" on her making the Olympic team. The article did not explain that Hiltz's is a biological female. Hiltz also is also not on testosterone as World Athletics forbids that.
They pronouns are racist. I want to call they what she wants be to call they, but it sounds like she is making fun of people who aren't native speakers with they pronouns.
The classic liberal "if you aren't personally impacted you can't have an opinion" argument. Guess you poofs can't have an opinion on BLM then.
So we can see her compete in the men's 1500?
"Sometimes I wake up feeling like a powerful queen and other days I wake up feeling as if I’m just a guy being a dude, and other times I identify outside of the gender binary entirely." (quote)
If I understand this correctly, this is someone who doesn't know who they are from one day to the next. Is that what is to be celebrated here?
It looks as though in the quest for identity there are some who find it by losing it. With an apparent contradiction like that, they (I hope that's the right pronoun) aren't the only ones confused here.

Celebrated? Where's the party? Do I have to bring my own beer?

I mean honestly for all the complaining conservatives do about how everyone is sensitive, watching people react to a thread in which someone comes out as nonbinary, a thing that doesn't affect them in the least is...breathtaking.
^^^appleswan back posting under a new handle I think.
Anyway, I doubt Nikki is going to have much success with Mac Fleet’s coaching, so this doesn’t really matter from a competition standpoint.

She'll not make the Olympic team this year because of lack of focus on running and other women are more talented.
Here's a solution for all the gender confusion:
Straight Olympics for normal athletes.
Special Olympics for mentally challenged athletes.
Para Olympics for disabled athletes.
Freak Olympics for LGBTQ athletes.
What is wrong with you?? We can’t make posts with swears anymore on this site and yet someone can still say something like this.
Wasn't she out already. How many times can they come out?

But, of course, you're badly overstating this. Especially depending on where one lives and works. Failure to pay proper attention to others' current identification can and will have ramifications. So please don't tell everyone that they're free not to care, while likely having no problem with people being fried for not displaying sufficient attention/sympathy for the issue.
My spouse is a HS teacher. Just learned that students get to decide their gender identification and name without parental input or notification. So, if Susie wants to be called Bobby, she's Bobby (at school). If the teacher calls home, they HAVE to remember to call her Susie, because the parents might not know. Seriously.
A tragedy? No. But accurate to say that this stuff has no impact on those not concerned with it? Also no.

If these rules are applied to fun runs,TMADDDHASFNE will start in the 2nd wave.

Who are these teachers being fired? I found an article about a teacher in Virginia who was fired for refusing to acknowledge a student's gender because of religious beliefs.
They don't HAVE to remember. Unless they are deliberately refusing to acknowledge the student's gender they won't be fired. The teacher unions are stronger than you think.

She can run with the dudes if she/he/they want to. Nobody cares if you want to try your hand against stiffer competition. It’s the opposite that is blatantly unfair.
That's it in a nutshell!
I'm so confused. She was born female but wants to be a guy, or feels like one sometimes? Is she taking male hormones?
"they" is plural not singular; he, she or it is singular; dont let anyone tell ya differnt

In what culture are people with a penis capable and giving birth?
"giving birth" is not always associated with womanhood and femininity.
I will eat an airplane if you list one culture in which “giving birth” is not associated with womanhood and femininity. That is literally the most universal cultural association that exists. It’s in every religion, every culture you could possibly name. I’ll eat an airplane if you simply name one culture.
Nothing to say on this topic except maybe we need new vocabulary and not just fungible pronouns. Chude, Chick/dude
"Did you she that chude run" .That was no chude , she woke up feeling like a queen today.

Sometimes the "out" wears off before your craving for attention does. That is the beauty of having 113 different genders and sexual identities. You can keep coming out and satisfy your need to be in the spotlight.

This is how the Greek chic operates.
Rojo - you make sense.
There should be two competitive categories in sport:
1. Open (anyone)
2. No Y chromosomes
Seems like a fair solution. Biologically female trans allies can compete in open to make it feel inclusive. Someone like Nikki could then compete in either category depending on how they feel.
Do you keep youre opinions to yourself??
