Transgender runner Nikki Hiltz is headed to the Paris Olympics

Transgender and nonbinary middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz ran the second fastest time ever of any American in the women’s 1500-meter race at the U.S. Olympic Trials Sunday, qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Hiltz, who uses they/them pronouns, charged ahead of Elle St. Pierre and Emily Mackay in the final stretch of the race, finishing with a time of 3:55:33, a trials record. All of the top eight finishers set a new personal best time, according to OutSports. Paris will mark Hiltz’s Olympic debut.

In a post-race interview with NBC Sports, Hiltz, 29, said the race had significance beyond their personal accomplishment.

“This is bigger than just me. It’s the last day of Pride Month. ... I wanted to run this one for my community,” they said. “All the LGBT folks, yeah, you guys brought me home that last hundred [meters]. I could just feel the love and support.”

Hiltz said Elle St. Pierre, who finished third and was the top-finishing American in the Tokyo Olympics women’s 1500, pushed them and the other runners to go faster. St. Pierre was in the lead for most of the race, finishing the first lap in 61 seconds.

“Elle St. Pierre has elevated women’s distance running. I saw the time, and I didn’t think that was possible,” Hiltz told NBC Sports. “We all had to rise because of her. … Awesome team we’re sending to Paris.”

Pierre and the second-place finisher, Emily Mackay, also qualified for the Paris Olympics Sunday.

Hiltz wrote in a social media post Monday that a childhood dream of theirs came true when they qualified for the Paris Olympics.

Transgender AND non-binary. In other words. A cheater.

She's not cheating. She's a biological female lesbian running on the women's team.

She's "transgender" only in that she identifies as "non-binary" rather than female.

All the more reason these silly labels are nothing more than a joke.

Look, she goes as a transgender female, which means fake female, so I will assume “they” knows/know best.

No. She's a "transgender non-binary" who is actually a biological female lesbian competing as a female on the women's team.

Stupid, I know.

In just under 5 days (NOW) the top Luke 17 image jumped to:

112,836-107,557 - up 5,279 new people (at least)

The lower one jumped over that same <4 days time to:

110,192-104,771 - up 5,321 new people (overlap though with above)

That’s how many new people were reached in a span of about 64 hours - hopefully that will spread to many, many more around the world

It should not be allowed to compete regardless. If IT can’t figure out it is a female it is not qualified to do anything reasonable. I don’t care about its feelings or pronouns or any of its stupid BS made up identities. These people need a hard dose of “IIDGAF. “

NBC will no doubt shove her in everyone’s face.

Just watch.
