as a non-binary track athlete, nikki has made me feel really seen🫶 hope to see them have some great outdoor races🔥
I have been so moved by commentators' consistent and thoughtful use of their pronouns. blown away, honestly. so glad you feel seen!
I'm a trans guy and they inspire me as well 🏳️⚧️ 🏃
This is Nikki’s year as they go into the Olympic Trials in Eugene. All the best of luck 👏
Best of luck Nicki this was a great episode can’t wait for the next one ..
So cool. A great person and story.
Really? Hate much?
Amazing athlete!
CCS represent! 🫶🏼
Her smile is infectious, i immediately wanted to see her do good
Fancy that, a non-binary trans person who has cancelled themselves out and is now a question mark. What has this world come to?
Thank you for this honest and inspiring video.
You are a true hero athlete!
Wishing her well, maybe surprisingly well at the Olympics!
Them.
🙌
EPIC
Would someone please explain to me how Nikki is trans? I think she means that she is "trans" because she is biologically a female and calls herself non-binary? That does not make sense to me. Non-binary is not a sex. There are only two sexes, that is what BI-nary means. So, if you are non-binary you do not consider yourself female or male gender? I'm confused. Regardless, she is a female in regards to her sex, even if she does not consider it her gender. Could someone please explain, or correct me if necessary?
sex is "binary" (although intersex people also exist) gender is a social construct and someone's gender identity might not fit within the traditional gender binary that many society's (including ours) have historically had
@@elwens I already know all that and make that clear in my original post. Your reply does not explain why Nikki thinks she is trans?
@@PracticalPerry because they don't identify with the gender that they were assigned at birth.

@@PracticalPerrybecause their sexual identity doesn’t match with their sex registered at birth, they are trans. They are non-binary, and use they/ them pronouns.
I am truly happy for Nikki's success. It has come through hard work and commitment and they are very talented. But OMG, enough with all the woke buzz words. So many unnecessary labels. There have been masculine presenting women in Athletics for 100 years. It's nothing new. The need to point out how first and special they are is so much a part of the problem. Nikki is special because they are a fantastic athlete and not because of any gender dysmorphia they might be dealing with.
Another issue with language - the T in LGBT has always represented transsexuals, not trans gender. For the original members of this community, queer was a slur, not a label co-opted by those "playing with" gender, of "trying on" gender roles. I wish they all would stop for a minute and think about others already in those spaces.
Mental illness is rampant in the running community. I hope she gets the help she needs.
She is amazing
*they. They literally talked about it in the beginning of the video. They are non-binary and use they/them pronouns.
Looks like a she, claims to be a man but also claims to be neither. Makes a whole lot of sense.
She's saying 'like' about things she could be more like, affirmative and like, precise with.
Linguistic discrimination is still discrimination. Maybe take an intro to linguistics course to help your bias?
*They. What a weird thing to comment. This is a common linguistic device in current times, like it or not.
love this!
