Interesting. I never thought about somebody like Lia Thomas competing as female while claiming to be male. I have a feeling that his/her support would disappear.
What an amazing race. I didn't see the posted times on the broadcast but I guess every runner set a personal best as well as some national records and, of course, a world's record. I don't know when we're ever going to see that again. Congrats to Nicki. Yes, yes, the great and oh-so-important pronoun debate, but maybe, just for the moment, we can give that a rest and enjoy a wonderful achievement by all the runners.
I, for one, am fed up with all the culture wars that are tearing this country to pieces. Do we real need / want all this BS? We just watched an amazing race and look at what we're talking about. What a waste.

Do foreign commentators refer to her as ‘they’ in their local languages?
Does they exist as a non binary language in other countries or is it just something decadent English speaking countries have decided to adopt whilst the empire crumbles around us?
Nikki is trans, you just don't know what the word means. A "transgender" is a person whose gender identity is not associated with the sex they were given at birth. A male that associates as female, a female that associates as male or a female that associates as neither male nor female (non-binary or gender fluid) is a transgendered.
You 100% are not very bright and should learn a few more words.
I live there. It's not an actual crime...aka good luck enforcing it. It's a BS liberal policy to get votes in the next election, nothing more. The poster is right, Cranny is the first American Woman as Nikki doesn't identify as a woman. What's wrong with that? That's exactly what she's saying to people, I'm not a woman. My post is true and it's not demeaning anyone, it's the reality of it.

Never forget that these definitions and teaches come from a pervert, John Money.
The John Money Experiment involved David Reimer, a twin boy raised as a girl following a botched circumcision. Money asserted gender was primarily learned, not innate. However, David struggled with his female identity and tra...
I'm presuming that Hiltz accepts that Hiltz's biological sex is female. I would then expect that Hiltz is delighted to be the fastest American biological female.
Gender is a construct and refers at least in part to how one identifies. As far as I understand Hiltz is fluid in this respect, identifying as one or other gender at different points in time.
One can argue whether a biological female identifying as a male is a delusion or not, but there is no paradox as regards to such a person contesting a race for biological females, but feeling at that moment like a male.
It's not complicated - at least in this case: one competes in the division to which you genetically/biologically belong, irrespective of how one feels or identifies at that time (for example a genetic female who feels like a guy at that moment). As far as the competition is concerned it's totally irrelevant what the competitors are identifying as.
Here a biological woman took place in a biological women's contest and set a regional record. Whether that person was identifying as a man, woman or thoroughbred racehorse at the time is irrelevant.
*I do realize where it gets more complicated is for the few unfortunate individuals whose biological sex is more ambiguous.
