The acceptance of this “nonbinary, anyone can be a woman” delusion as reality is a serious mindf$ck, word salad, nonsense and energy suck that a few mega rich help sustain to keep the sheep in the pasture. If the nonexistent to reality nonbinary category grows at events, Hiltz should be forced to compete in that farce getting her ass trounced by HS boys AND never allowed in the women’s field again, Open events for her only from now on.

It should be said on repeat: sports are about bodies competing and M/F are the only 2 types of bodies humans have; a man, no matter what he feels, can NEVER become a woman (somehow trans have known this for time eternal until about 20 years ago).

Nikki is harming women and girls, and it's truly sad and pathetic. She once was someone who girls could look up to. There are many young athletes who are gay, and not 'Barbie' level feminine. A woman is an adult female human. There's no 'personality requirement' to being one.

But instead she renounces every girl like her because she is so misogynist she thinks she must be a half-man 'in her mind' for having sentient thoughts about something other than makeup, and because she likes wearing a loose jersey instead of a crop-top sometimes. There is nothing more sexist than the grift she is selling. She makes it all about her and how "not like tHe oTher GiRls" she feels she is, ironically putting women and girls in the gender box more than anyone. You see SHE'S not like us! She's complicated and special and we're just..WOMEN.

At best, she promotes a stupid ideology that is based on lies and 'belief' in nonsensical concepts, much like nearly all religion. At worst, she promotes surgeries and hormones (as she did in her NYT interview) that are objectively toxic and mutilative. The good news is that more and more, people see through it. People are waking up to the fact that 'trans' and 'gender' ideology are not facets of gay rights, but harmful, regressive parasites of the movement that are slowly killing it.

If New York Road Runners is a representative sample / pioneer of what happens when you have three categories of prize money, then we absolutely will go from 50/50 male-female prize purse split to 2:1. Because equity! And inclusion!

There's a guy in town who writes for the local paper whose first name is Dike. But years ago he covered sports for a bigger paper or a wire service or some such thing. He covered tennis and was at a post match press conference with Navratilova. She was going to take his question until he introduced himself using his first name and she stalked off the podium. But I've always admired her anyway.

Hiltz kind of makes me think of Schroedinger's Cat, could be one way, could be another way. Or maybe she's like a vampire. No one's ever conclusively decided if they're dead or not. I do think that there's something dishonest and/or hypocritical about denying that you're a woman while competing as one and getting paid for it. I'd say the same if she was competing as a male while denying being one.
