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.
Miraculously, never feels like a guy being a dude on race day. Not once, ever
They are so consistently a woman on race day that one may begin to think it's a conscious choice.
Non binary means neither male, nor female.
zoomie and others, what is the problem here?
How Nikki identifies herself is how they feel (non-binary, bi whatever) and as far as I know isn't taking hormone therapy but living with the body they were born with. Why do you care what else is in Nikki's head or feelings? Why would anyone have an objection to Nikki competing as a biological female?
A biological male that is transitioning to a female competing as a female is problematic because of inherent competitive advantages. But why throw shade on Nikki who is still figuring things out for themselves ?
Iel is a neo-pronoun in the French language intended as an alternative to the gender-specific pronouns elle ("she") and il ("he"). It has been adopted by the Le Robert dictionary but is not officially accepted by the Académie...
Truly pathetic that so many snowflakes need to discuss the details of their sexuality and sexual thoughts with the entire world because they are not secure in who they are. Sex and sexuality used to be private and special between people and their partners.
Yeah, it's really strange that we never see spouses of heterosexual athletes in the stand cheering for their loves ones. I wonder where they are hiding. I also wonder why those athletes never mention their wives or husbands in post-race interviews while they thank almost everyone else. What's the big secret?
Not transgender - you can say/identify as someone other than a biological female, but that is an artificial construct. you are a biological female, who runs in women's races, but simply say you are something else. If you were transgender, you would run in Men’s races.
