Not surprised. 🙄
Not surprised that the males came first.
Cut the crap.
#sex over gender
Only two divisions XX and XY
Does the non-binary winner get the same prize money as the male/female?
It extends deeper than just the top-5. And the second place finisher is just becoming a road whore. I seem to see his name in every race that gives money to the non-binary category. He has got to be making several thousand per year in race winnings.
Total finishers
Male: 13,590; female: 11,724; non-binary: 75.
Yes, let's have equal prize money, because beating 74 people is exactly the same as beating 13,589 or 11,723.
Your post will probably be deleted because you refer to this person as his/he.
Happened to me when I used he for a MTF transgender.
So first you guys complain that NB athletes should have their own category, and then when they get one, you complain because you don’t like the winner?

Never once have I said NB should have their own category. Only two divisions , XX and XY. Keep with that and I won't complain if the winner of the XY is running in a dress. That will never happen.
Is there no end to this stupidity?
Whatever a kids name is is what they are, just that simple. Your parents named you Mike so guess what?
Prize money should be far less due to the competition you choose to race in. If you want bigger prizes you should be required to race against the male/female you were born at birth. Facts don't care about your feelings.

So if I name my boy Samantha, he can compete in the women's division?
I am pretty sure the 'winner' did it as either a joke to make a point and to collect some cash. Everyone should do this. Flood the category at least until they stop offering equal prize money. Any it can be a trans at their will. Nikki says some days she just feels like a dude. Just not on a race day.
The 'guy' who won ran 1:07 at NYC half this year. This was a training run for him. If you Google him, he is not one of them. Good for him for taking advantage of identity arbitrage.

Any guesstimate on their ethnic background?
Any Blacks or Latinos?
Or is this another cause for mostly white men to act "oppressed" while maintaining their historical / cultural / structural, if not their actual athletic, superiority?

Lol, getting confused between non binary and DSD
i really can’t think of anybody who would want that non binary category, yet it exists
it’s so difficult to be a pro runner or triathlete (look at Ari Klau or Trevor Foley for example). if there is actually extra budget money for prize money, you would want that to go to one of the pros (not a virtue signalling category). We don’t really care what he/her/they perceive themselves to be

I would say that odds are that he is actually non binary
I would say that probably 90%+ of the population is non binary
I have watched figure skating before (and enjoyed it), I have watched Sex and the City before…. I am not in the military…. I don’t know how to fix a car…
Can I really say that I am a real man?
An argument could be made.
I’m sure that I could make an argument for the winner of the non binary division
2nd place is the woke Columbia student who ran a 1:51 and 2:28 (1k). He, excuse me "they", has collected tens of thousands in winnings from this category.
1st looks normal though
