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.
Not sure you know what "enunciate" means. Think the word you were looking for is "elaborate."
Clear Pronunciation: Enunciating involves paying careful attention to the sounds of words and saying them in a way that is easy to understand. Expressing Ideas Clearly: Enunciate can also refer to expressing an idea, a plan, or a principle in a way that is precise and easy to grasp. Making Known Publicly: It can also mean announcing or proclaiming something officially or formally.
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.
And you know that she spends her time reading these boards how?

Bingo! This post nails it. What a sad existence, yearning for the approval of others.

It's nearing a 0 IQ for her to say this takes nothing away from women while in the same breath mentioning women couldn't race in the past.
Women won't be able to race in the future if she has her way. If trans women can qualify, the end result over a long enough timeframe would be having zero biological women in the field. Women once again couldn't race because all the spots are taken by men.
Nobody on her side of this argument is intelligent. It's an emotional argument with no care for cause and effect consequences. No logical merit. They can't be dumber if they tried. Literally denying reality. I'm so over people like this.
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".
Hiltz is just following the cardinal rule of LRC: anyone who is slower than me is a hobby jogger who does not care about time or place. So Hiltz is making fun of those hobby joggers as people who are only interested in visiting new places and meeting people.
Natalie Daniels did not get the memo. She finished in 2:50:04. One hour 24 minutes and 42 seconds faster than the trans runner she is attacking, Riya Young, who finished in 4:14:46. By the LRC's cardinal standard, Young is a hobby jogger who does not care about time and place, and so is the person who lost her qualifying spot to young.

Yeah, all the cultural warriors on this board who are constantly triggered by Hiltz and their pronoun are being played by Hiltz.
But that's good for Hiltz and also good for brojos because it generates more page view counts. Brojos should thank Hiltz for stirring the pot and triggering the cultural warriors.

The accurate definition of hobby jogger is anyone who isn't a successful professional runner.
Don't get why LRC has to always do its thing when this stuff got brought up. I really don't see what the issue is here/how it affects anyone upset at all. Nikki brings up a few really simple, yet convincing points. The first is that as an amateur marathoner running Boston it's all about getting the best out of yourself. Getting worked up over something like this doesn't seem worth it imo. I've been consistent in threads like this in that it's up to governing bodies to set rules at the top of sport. This has nothing to do with the elite fields. So what somebody gets into the race. So many good runners aren't hitting the cutoff times. People are getting in who qualified on super downhill courses. How many transgender runners actually entered? Probably very few. Maybe you want to argue that their standards should be different. Ok, but do we need to apply policy to a small # of people. Folks need to be rational on all sides of the conversation. The person hosting the run felt so angry that they were going to drop out of the race or not run? Then do it. There are tons of other great races out there. We went through how many years of women not being able to run the Boston Marathon? Are we going to lock transgender runners out now? Maybe this will progress in the coming years & some guidelines will be put in place. Not worth it to get worked up over it & act like there's some big takeover going on. Nobody cares except you if you finished 20,000 & 19,999 overall. There's a lot that athletes can do to make gains. Time should be spent there instead of on stuff like this.
Hiltz is a hypocrite. She conveniently competes in the women's category because she knows she would be nothing anywhere else. She also knows that she is, has been and always will be female. She spouts off because she hasn't put any skin in the game.

Ironic that you refer to her as "nearing 0 IQ" while you make one of the dumbest statements ever seen on this board.
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.
As noted by others, Hiltz is mentally ill. Her response is merely more proof of that.

I'm starting to think you are that Nico hater Jesus freak, but this is your constant gig now.

Every other elite female runner would be nothing anywhere else, if they didn’t run in the women’s division. Racing at a high level is putting her skin in the game. What is it you expect from an athlete?

It's an objectively true statement. Just like how if men were allowed in the WNBA there would be zero women at the pro level. Stop allowing men to enter women's races. The long-term outcome is an eradication of women's sports. It's just two men's divisions. Seek therapy because you're coping to the max if you think my statement was dumb in any way.

Also, if you are a trans parent you have failed your child. Don't let your failure seep into other people's lives and ruin theirs as well. You need serious help. You are dealing with the ultimate defense mechanism - You need to be right or else you've destroyed your child's entire existence.
