They’re covering their behinds. If they didn’t pay non binary the same they would get bad PR for discrimination.

Just wait for it until Boston is forced to pay out an additional $353,000, not including $9,000 for Masters and whatever top Americans get. And they can't discriminate against the wheelchair athletes. Be prepared to see your entry fees increase.
It's coming ...
2023 Boston male and female
1st $150,000
2nd $75,000
3rd - $40,000

Non binary is almost always a dude saying he's a girl. Weak

Masters age and non-binary? That especially feels like people are just picking up a quick buck. I don't believe it for a second.

Try it this way, to be accurate but not sound hateful:
The non-binary winner tends to someone with XY chromosomes, who competed as a male at the high school and collegiate levels.
Then you can share they's best college times, which often would be close to women's world records, or at least would be Olympic qualifying times, but for they just yielded pretty decent college results in the men's fields.

I'm always confused that sex and gender don't depend on each other, until it comes to sports, then sex and gender are the exact same thing.
As best I can tell, the actual answer is that sex depends or doesn't depend on gender entirely to the extent that an activist's or ally's current argument in the debate they're having at the moment needs sex to depend or not depend on gender. I haven't yet found an activist who can keep their idea on this question straight. They all switch it up depending on what they think they need to prove to get whatever they're asking for at the moment.

Well, they did manage to avoid issue that bi-male won the women's category.

So by having only 1 of the 20 genders, they’re not discriminating? lemme guess it’s all part of the gaystopo?

Some marathons have a 5k or mile associated with them the night before.
I wonder if a dude wins the 5k as a dude and then wins the non-binary or women’s category the next day, would there be complaints?

The women were competing against the women. The non-binary runners were competing against non-,binary runners. It doesn't matter that some women ran faster and didn't get paid any more than it matters that some male runners run faster than females but don't get paid.
You are competing against the category you are in full stop

Does running as non binary prevent you from running as a man or woman at other races? It seems like it would be advantageous to run as nonbinary if your interest is money, then turn up at Swathmore twilight in a few weeks for a fast time. After all don't the woke believe you can identify as something different every single day.
I think the goal of nonbinary is to prevent men from taking money from women though. There is a lot of outrage about obviously fast dudes feeling like they are women. While the nonbinary purse wastes a lot of money on slow times, there are now grounds to not award money to a 241 dude in the womens race.
Non-binary has nothing to do with trans gender. One is identifying as the opposite gender as assigned at birth while the other means you don't identify as either. A trans female born male could win the female group (as only gender and not sex matters societally) while another binary person assigned male wins the binary category.
The person that asked why we have 2 sex categories and 1 gender was spot on to point out the ridiculousness of that. It should be 3 gender categories. All I care about is how you identify. Dress how you want, live how you want, and compete how you want. I'm all in on inclusivity.

Does anybody know the sex of all the non-binary "winners". Were any of them biologically female?

This is what will eventually kill this transgenderism push. When men start entering everything meant for women, en masse, and women get fed up. Sports, modeling, pageants, jobs, women's-only clubs, etc and all the women are pushed out.
It's all cute right now, because it's a rare man that suits up in women's garb to steal what is rightfully a woman's. It's one in a thousand right now, it's a novelty and the wokesters love to fight over it and make a point out of it. But when 95% of women's sports, jobs, pageants, modeling gigs, bathrooms, locker rooms, prize money, women's award, etc, are taken over by men in a woman's disguise, that's when people will get fed up and the fun will be over.
I'm not sure why women care. If a trans man wants to come into the men's bathroom, join a male only club, and so forth I welcome them with open arms. Makes no difference to me but then I'm not threatened sharing space with a transgender individual. Many of you people may have done it without even knowing

Any race with the fake “non binary” division will not get my money. So I really don’t care what these mental disabled people do with their money.

the 'winner' for sure was a male, and he has competed as a male for every other race he's done. But hey, $5000 is a lot of money.
