dude, counting your downvotes and reposting the number is really cringe. I agree with you that there are a lot of absurd notions in this thread but the attention seeking from you right now is really really annoying. If you say something just to get a reaction no one is going to want to listen to you and you're helping nobody
I think there needs to be more nuance in this conversation instead of everything being so black and white. Nikki and other trans activists are up in arms about the notion that anyone would think trans women competing is unfair, they don't even want to have the conversation, calling it transphobic. But the fact of the matter is, sports were separated by sex for a reason, and trans women, while not being men, ARE biologically male.
If they are biologically male, then they are men. That is pretty black and white. Or, XY and XX if you prefer.. This is not transphobic, it is biology.

Attention seeking? In this ocean of ignorance? Wish me luck!!
I'm glad that I can provide some cringe, to break up the most excellent discourse.
So lemme ask this: How many trans women ran and how did they do?
Here's the thing. There absolutely has to be an avenue for trans women to compete. I think forcing them to compete and be counted as men is cruel in this circumstance. However, cis women shouldn't lose spots they previously had.
I don't have a solution that works but I'm thinking, trans women have their own category or increase the number of women who get to compete? IDK, I'm not a boston expert either.
Compete in ETC category but they must qualify by time as they started out at birth and not who they're now. No equivalent prize money for them either unless they also equal/better times of men in open field if they started off as men at birth. Fairness and equality goes both ways.
Again...the regressive left, which includes Nick Hiltz are COMPLETELY tone-deaf! This is why the Democratic Party is in a total tailspin with no plan or direction. Nick completely misses the point and fails to understand that no one really cares what she is, or who she thinks she is. Someone posted that if Cole Hocker toed the line with her at a race, what would Nick do? How would Nick feel if the Olympic Trials Women's 1500m final included newly transitioned athletes Cole Hocker, Hobbs Kessler, and Yared Nuguse? Looks as though Nick would be fighting for that coveted 4th place. Hmmm...I'm guessing someone would be throwing a hissy-fit because HER/HIS spot was taken by one of HER/HIS trans buddies. Also taken away would be that sweet LuLu Lemon/Nike bonus check for making the team...Uh Oh!!! All the sudden, Mr. Hiltz is not so happy and not so TRANS!!!, or maybe Nick can just drop out! that seems to be a good solution. Again, the regressive left doesn't give 2 sh^ts about anyone but themselves as per Nick's lame diatribe video where SHE/HIM clearly says that if you're not taking prize money who cares, or what's the difference between placing 900th or 901st, or you can just drop out! Oh, but if Nick's prize money is in jeopardy, or a spot on a national team is taken, that's a different story.
if you "identify" as a giraffe, are you a giraffe???
False equivalence. Gender is just a social construct. A specific species is not a social construct, it is a scientific reality.
Sex is a scientific reality but since the world should be decided by gender, not sex, for all non-medical categories and athlete should compete as their gender and not sex. No reason a male and female can't just compete head to head and let the best win.
There are actually many reasons why sport is sex separated. Males have several distinct physical advantages over women, or females if you prefer. They are well documented and you would do well to investigate this yourself.
Do you not think it's important to be well informed before making a statement like yours? Or do you believe your opinion is simply more important than physiological facts?
From 2004 until 2022 trans women were eligible to run Boston, New York, all major marathons world wide, 5 Olympic Games and 10 world championships and every Diamond League track race in those 18 years.
Can any of the bigoted haters tell me how many times a trans person won a major race in those freakin 18 years in any of those settings.
ZERO, they never have and facts are something bigots run anyway from.
No Boston wins no Olympic Medals, no World Championship Medals, No Dimond League Medals
In fact in those 18 years only one trans woman even was good enough to make one Olympic trials and that was the 2020 Olympics Trials Marathon. Her name was Megan Youngren and she finished 230th not in the top three.
If trans women are/were so superior and a threat to women's sports why have they not won a damn thing in 18 freakin years when they were eligible to compete in Road Racing, Marathoning, Olympics , World Cha[pionships, etc.
One thing bigots hate are facts! and they cannot answer that questions as to why trans women has never beaten other women in 18 years they were eligible to compete!
A trans person on full Hormone Replacement Therapy, including estrogen and anti-androgens and progesterone has no advantage and if they did someone would have won something in those 18 years of eligibility..
I mean you win the Olympics or world championships or major marathons and all the financial security that come with that, but none won!
So from bigots all you will hear and read are slurs, ridicule, hatred, but no facts because bigots are about as dumb as a rock :)

Have a nice day !

transgenderism might be 'wrong' but so is authoritarianism... if men want to pretend they are women that is fine however society should not be gaslit into believing they somehow have less rights than the rest of society because of how they choose to live their life and society certainly should not be on the hook for any of their associated medical procedures.
"Authoritarianism" is simply extending one's personal principles into law and culture. Perfectly justified and necessary.
And no it is not "fine" for a man to pretend to become a woman. It's disordered and thus should be restricted.
