New Women's American Record in the Mile

Hiltz did an interview a while ago where they (whatever) said they are gender fluid. Sometimes they wake up in the morning feeling like a "dude" and other times like a "powerful queen" and other times non-binary. So just by an extraordinary coincidence every morning on a day they're due to compete they wake up feeling like a woman.

This is the laziest reply ever. Guarantee my post is hundred percent true. Sorry if your “enlightened” bubble is so small that you can’t possibly understand that not everyone knows every detail about other single person in the world. Don’t be so close minded.

A hundred genders? What are you talking about?

We’re only talking about it because Nikki has been so adamant and angry when people consider Nikki to be a woman and use female pronouns. Nikki created this debate, not anyone else.

Are there openly gay runners who whenever they run we’ll make a big deal about their performance furthering the cause of gay people?

So long as people are in their biological categories, their gender seems irregardless to their sport. Not that they can’t or shouldn’t mention it, but not sure it means anything and needs to be the focus of every performance.

Contradictory.

Nothing difficult. I legit just congratulated her.

Two quick points to show how moronic your post is.

first in the scheme of global athletics, hiltse is a nothing. I don’t live in North America and I don’t follow tier 2 runners very often. That does not mean that I don’t closely follow a lot of athletics for the last 40 years.

Second I can also be an avid fan of times and placings without knowing anything about the personal lives of athletes.

So, perhaps you should rethink your smug, but ridiculously wrong, comment.

I would pump the brakes on this one. Florida in particular is making it very difficult to to live life as an alternative gender.

You’re implying that athletes should compete in gender categories according to how they identify. Should a non-binary male compete in the female category because they feel like a woman that day? Of course not. We segregate athletics by sex, and Nikki is adhering to those rules. Gtfo w/ this rubbish

There is no difference between having "preferred pronouns" and having "preferred adjectives".

One should not be able to "identify" as superior, and than ask announcers, "out of respect" to refer to them as superior, and then get upset when announcers don't refer to them as superior, without the rest of the world mocking them. Which is what should be happening to Hiltz and others like her who definitionally are asking for special accommodations.

Hiktz competes in the women's category in running. She can say that she is male or nonbinary or female or whatever. How does Florida stop a female from saying they are male or nonbinary?

Someone like Nikki -could- have a legit TUE for some kind of androgen.

And it would be none of our business.

Mainstream TV commentators don't have the responsibility to explain transgender and non-binary, they could easily get it wrong and misinform millions.

They are also having meets and broadcasting into countries that frequently execute LGBT, highlighting someone without their knowledge or consent could get them murdered by the government.

But for those who genuinely want to understand, the key is the other part in that they are non-binary.

Transgender doesn't mean non-binary, they are not interchangeable words.

Many people completely transition to binary, some remain non-binary.

A great example of transgender but not non-binary is 2016 TeamUSA's Chris Mosier

Chris would seem to almost certainly have had a TUE for some kind of androgen, again not our business as it would obviously be WADA approved to be on TeamUSA, not some kind of sketchy doping.

NSFW? Not any more nude than all the dudes constantly running around with their shirts off.

Bodies We Want 2016

Chris Mosier is a history maker. The duathlete is the first known out transgender athlete to qualify for a U.S. national team and now the first transgender athlete to appear in the Body Issue. Here's more from his shoot.

If nonbinary is not physical, how does someone completely transition to binary?

If you are concerned for the safety of the athletes, the announcers shouldn't be singling one out with a different pronoun.

Interesting how someone can wake up one morning, not "identify" as a woman, but later the same day suddenly "identify" as one, because there's an award plus endorsements to be collected.

How Many Genders Are There? Gender Identity List

@SexDiversity

Alphabetical list of gender identities and terms people use when identifying themselves and talking about gender.

Open link

There are 107 genders, there is a difference between gender, a social construct, and biology, a genetic construct.

sport is typically split on biology as women are not as physical strong or powerful as men due to their biology due to various factors.

Completing in athletics as a gender you align with can mean you have a biological advantage or disadvantage over others they are competing against.

Nikki Hiltz set the American record in the mile in the non-binary category. Since NH doesn't identify as a woman how, can NH claim any gender specific record?
