Although world athletics just banned them, I wonder if Hiltz would feel the same way if a biological male claiming to be female placed 3rd in this years trials and she placed 4th, taking her spot.

About 42,000 U.S. children ages 6 to 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2021, nearly triple the number in 2017, a unique data analysis for Reuters found.
NPR used the story of a 13-year-old reportedly on puberty blockers to criticize Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for opposing "gender-affirming" surgeries for children.
From Reuters (not a right wing source at ALL): "The Komodo analysis of insurance claims found 56 genital surgeries among patients ages 13 to 17 with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis from 2019 to 2021. Among teens, “top surgery” to remove breasts is more common. In the three years ending in 2021, at least 776 mastectomies were performed in the United States on patients ages 13 to 17 with a gender dysphoria diagnosis, according to Komodo’s data analysis of insurance claims. This tally does not include procedures that were paid for out of pocket."

So over 120,000 patients in ages between 13 and 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria from 2017 to 2021 (24,000 / yr) . 56 had bottom surgery (18.7 / yr) and 776 had top surgery from 2019 to 2021 (259 / yr). That's 0.08% and 1.08% respectively. In fact, more than 80% did not receive either puberty blocker or cross hormone, and this ratio has increased over the five years under the survey.

Yes.
Of the 24,000 gender dysphoria diagnoses each year, less than 6% are given puberty blockers and about 1% had surgery.
Thanks to whoever posted the Reuters article! It completely debunks the idea they give out puberty blockers to anyone who asks.

An adult shedding tears over a child I have never seen as a bad thing!
But is that really what happened here?
This thread started because Nikki Hiltz said in a podcast that during a regular session with a psychotherapist, Hiltz “broke down in tears and sobbed" whilst discussing the booing some spectators at Hayward Field engaged in the previous week when a male teenager - who ostensibly claims to have a trans gender identity like Hiltz does - won an Oregon HS state track title in the girls' 200 and came in 2nd in the girls’ 400. The crowd booed when the male athlete crossed the finish line well ahead of the female competitors on the track in heats and the finals - and also when the teenage male winner walked past a bunch of female athletes he trounced on the track as he took top place on the podium to be crowned the 2024 girls’ state champion in the 200.
Here’s a transcript of what Hiltz said in the podcast:
“The week before was the Oregon (HS) state meet. There was a trans girl named Aayden [Gallagher] competing [in the girls division], and she won the 200, was second in 400… I saw a video of Hayward Field booing this trans person.
"That was really really hard to see because I very much associate Hayward Field as a very safe space, a very sacred space. And like I had THE best moment of my entire life there. And like I’m so proud of how far the sport has come to make space for me. And like I was feeling guilt coz I’m a very digestible trans person, you know. And I feel, it just broke my heart.
“I just never thought I would see Hayward in that light. Like I never thought people in this sport were capable of that. And like it was just really hard, I just kind of thought I’m kind of scared to go out there now. I know there are people who love and support me, but I now have a tainted view of the stadium, and I don’t love that.
“Obviously I didn’t want to make it about me, but I just hate that there’s transphobia. Like it was a literal child just competing and it was just like really completely so inappropriate… So like I obviously cried… I think I had been painting things with rose colored glasses.
“It really hit me deep down [where] it’s like your self-belief, deep down where’s there’s anxiety and fears. It’s just like hitting on my big fears. I really hope that in this sport I can be respected, but there’s this big fear that I won’t be - that I’ll be rejected.“
Is this really the story of a "an adult shedding tears over a child" like you say? And doing so out of compassion, kindness and the goodness of her heart? Or is it a case of a rather self-absorbed adult using an incident involving a teenager who's a total stranger to her as an excuse to turn the spotlight on herself and her own "identity," feel sorry for herself, portray herself as a much put-upon victim, kvetch that she now feels "unsafe" in Hayward Field and ill at ease in the sport of athletics, and shed tears of self-pity?
Nikki claims to be non binary,and trans,but as an lgbtq person,i can tell you,its not possible to be both non binary,and trans. They are two very different things,and many trans people do not accept non binary people as one of them . Perhaps if nikki decides to transition,take male hormone medication and become a transgender male, then she will be trans . Until then,she's dreaming. Also i think your latter comments are the correct ones .
It is not a disease. The main reason many Democrats refuse to support our stance is because people like you alienate them with blatant Transphobia and bigotry. Though I agree that this has undone decades of work to get women's sports as a separate division. Something I will note was supported by the left and viciously opposed by the right the whole time it was being fought for.
What part of opposing the poisoning of terribly confused people with onslaughts of opposite sex hormones and barrages of same-sex hormone suppressors and cutting off their healthy body parts constitutes "Transphobia and bigotry?"
You said "what part of our posts are transphobic" than proceeded to post a transphobic post.
Im pretty sure she would hate it. If DSD athletes,and trans athletes came out,and dominated, nikki would not be so supportive.
And yet that hasn't happened. Outside of one single case. There has NEVER been a transwoman in a professional running event. Maybe, we can see the difference between that and adults bullying children.
Thats because they dont allow it. In the time being trans hasn't been dangerous for you and your family it has been banned to compete professionally outside of your given sex.

Exactly. All this faux concern for the integrity of women's sports when it reality, there has never been a trans professional athlete in any race in the history of the sport.
There were always rumors of athletes competing as a different sex back before they started checking.
