The podcaster only has 612 subscribers. Obviously, Hiltz does not follow this person. Someone sent her this video where her name is mentioned and talked about for approximately one minute of a 51-minute interview and she flipped $hit and went after this woman. She should have just left it alone because her out of proportion response makes her look bad.
I support Nikki being Nikki, but one of these days she's going to line up in a race with a couple trans athletes. I live for that day.
I pointed out in another thread that I could take a track and field team of American High School boys to the next Olympics and take home every single medal in the women's category and also set new world records in every single event.

So lemme get this straight:
Nikki's short response to a 51min video which mentions Nikki and also spends a lot of (transphobic!) time on this subject, is "out of proportion".
I don't know if I like your statement because I don't know what it means. That's why I asked you in what way is Islam right about trans. Are you able to answer?
Lemme help you with this:
If you are 2SLGBTQ+ in certain countries, you go to jail and/or die.
Any questions?
I doubt the other poster would agree with those practices. But then again he wasn't able to say what he meant, so maybe he would support that.

When somebody says "Islam is right about trans" (I think that was the wording?) and nothing further, I tend to put 2 and 2 together. But hey - maybe the poster will enunciate.

She’ll never race against trans athletes. .1% of insured transgender athletes commence medical treatments and out of that tiny population, there’s no chance of one becoming an elite distance runner.
They're ineligible to compete in the Olympics so your high school boys cannot compete in college, the pros are the Olympics.
You don’t seem to be all that knowledgeable about the transgender athlete issue.
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.
i guess i just value freedom a lot more than you do
Interesting that Hiltz says if the woman was an elite runner then it would matter - acknowledging the issue.
Agreed, the stupidest possible take is "Nobody is doing this and winning against women except the ones I don't care about".
They always use the "oh big deal, you came 901st instead of 900th", tacitly acknowledging that being knocked down a position doesn't matter if you're not at the upper echelons and therefore, the same rules of fairness that Nikki benefits from in her races don't apply to ordinary runners. What if a woman was knocked down from 18th to 21st at Boston because of trans athletes? What if they were pushed out of the top 10 or podium? At some arbitrary point in performance, I'm sure even Nikki will say "ah ok, steady on, we can't have this male taking my women's first place for this road race". So who gets to decide where it doesn't matter anymore? 10th place? 20th place? 1000th place? Or, you know, it might just make more sense to keep it consistent and have everyone compete within their immutable binary sex category.

Age category places at normal, local races are where you see it and the women know they are meant to just say nothing and accept it or be accused of all sorts. To the apologists, no this is not theoretical.
Women say they can do anything a man can. I've heard this many times. If that is true then let them compete on equally footing in the classroom, the boardroom, and in the athletic field.
In regard to sports, where did you hear that? I’ve been a sports fan for many sports and I’ve never heard of such a thing.
"A woman can do anything as well as a man" includes sports. Anything is a term that encompasses every aspect of life.

Not sure you know what "enunciate" means. Think the word you were looking for is "elaborate."
This had me thinking. I am someone who believes that it is unfair for trans women to compete against cis women. I am also someone for whom this issue is not something that keeps me up at night.
I wouldn't drop out just because there are trans women racing. At the same time, because this is the Boston marathon, aren't trans women taking away spots from cis women?
If this were another marathon I wouldn't care in the slightest.
I feel bad for a random unknown participant getting lit up by the running community on social media. Whether it's JK Rowling or Nikki, I don't like it when people with platforms do this to others.
On the other hand you have to remember that 80% of people agree that trans women have an unfair advantage in sports to cis women. Maybe don't push the many liberal folk who agree by saying stupid things like "men in women's category"? They are trans women. We don't have to call them men to acknowledge the lack of fairness.
Commenting on a subject does not mean it keeps you up at night nor does it mean "rent free", that's nonsense.
Nikki is simply acting similar to a women's soccer player who was highly overrated, but knew that she could cash in on her lifestyle through social media accounts and endless interviews complaining about her plight. She yearns for the spotlight and needs to be heard/relevant at any cost.
As others have said, she's a lesbian and is one of 1000's in this country. If she was claiming that she's a man, then compete with them, stop yammering about it for attention.
Also as many others have said, calling her "they" is dealing in absurdities. She is now so important that she can change definitions of words.
She reads EVERYTHING on these boards and loves when her name is mentioned. Bottom line Nikki, why don't you just run and get attention for your accomplishments instead of the incessant need for attention on your sexuality, which reeks of insecurity. It's your business Niki, right? So why are you making it for everyone else? Live your life and stop trying to look for a pat on the bat as if you are a Crusader for Justice....you are gay, no one cares.
