EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Nikki Hiltz is shining in two lanes these days. On the track, it's as a 1,500-meter runner who just earned a trip to the Paris Games. Away from it, the transgender and nonbinary runner serves as role model for the queer community. Hiltz competes in the female category. Hiltz ran a personal best and meet-record time of 3 minutes, 55.33 seconds at U.S. track trials last weekend to win the event and earn a spot at Paris. They also organize a 5K race to support LGBTQ+ organizations. Hiltz is the American record holder in the women's mile.

How can you be “transgender” and “non-binary” simultaneously?
“Transgender” means you have chosen one of the two “sex” categories available to you.
“Non-binary” means you have rejected both “sex” categories available to you.
Must be a Schroedinger’s Cat kind of thing.
“Another mentally ill male”
Do a bit of research before commenting.
Mentally Ill, or perhaps MAKING A POINT.
She’s a woman/lesbian who dresses like man.
I won’t be watching. Not even for a minute.
Take your own advice.
No, she is a biological female lesbian who pretends to be a male.
This is a non story since lesbians dominate the womens's sports in the olympics anyway.
No. She's a biological female lesbian competing as a female on the female team.
Her "transgenderism" is only that she identifies as non-binary.
It's just all so stupid and silly at this point.
“Take your own advice.”
I did, you clearly didn’t.
I’m dreading when the time comes when we have to worry about everyone else’s dangling participles.
I’m old enough to remember when the Soviets and other Eastern Bloc nations, particularly the East Germans, used to field “amped up” women who were overloaded with male hormones to improve their performance.
They were tossed out and performance enhancing drugs were banned and tested for. Now, we seem to accept the cheating.
Now it’s not “maled up” women, it is men pretending to be women that are crushing the real women that come to compete fairly.
There is a war against real women.
“””Another mentally ill male denies female athletes their shot.”””
You are incorrect. Nikki is a biological woman.
That being said, she has muscles like a young man.
So is Nikki being blood tested for testosterone use?????
If I understand this correctly, she is a woman who claims she’s neither male nor female, even though she obviously is, like every other mammal.
Yeah, pretty much.
Non-binary is really the laziest alternative gender identity there is. You don't have to do anything. You don't need drugs or surgery. You don't need to change your name. You don't need to change your wardrobe. You can still be sexually attracted to whoever you were before. All you need to do is declare yourself non-binary and you're now part of the Alphabet Club.
Well, this and dye your hair green.
And just to think of the way that the IOC treated South African runner Caster Semenya a few years back, by comparison.
In Caster’s case, it’s because she has a genuine, medical, hormonally-intersex condition, but they still, nevertheless banned her from competition unless she was on testosterone suppressors.
Now, just a few years later, it seems, anything goes...
All of this time and effort wasted on girl swimming, track, etc. Can’t we just go straight to roller-ball, or is this like working through the playoffs to get to the finals?
It’s a girl! Why are they calling her “trans”? It just confuses people who think it is another guy stealing glory. “Non-binary” just shows a mental disorder.
Like “queer,” it has no definition.
Actually Nikki is a girl who plays pretend. SHE is very much a legitimate women’s champion at 1500m.
