I just wanted to offer an alternative to the first article, since you were confused by the wording. I would agree that "transgender" and "non-binary" seem juxaposed to one another. I can definetly see non-binary identification as a potantial steeping stone to someone realizing their transgender identity, or not. Personally, I have no idea what Hiltz means by that terminology for it's worth. And as i said,didn't take it as an insult,and it's all good,just wanted to clarify that i'm not automatically a fox news person just because i have that viewpoint. See,this is the problem though i and[more relavantly] many other people in America itself don't understand what people like Hiltz mean when they say things like that,[and it doesn't seem like we're meant to understand] when you ask or even try question it,your automatically branded as a transphobe or a bigot[which of course is even more insuffurable when the person telling you this isn't even trans]and told that your now just supposed to accept that this is how that person feels and no other explanation is needed at all.Then There have been people in Canada[i don't know about America] who have lost their kids because they didn't want to use they/them, for them when the kid ''came out'' or have been fired because they didn't use the prounouns at work,i just don't think that's how things should be,in democratic societys and i don't think that conversation should be shutdown with ''Bigot'' or ''transphobe''[obviously you haven't been doing that to Josh or me here,but that's what other people do when they hear criticism for this] or even ''Homophobe'' when people question actions from people of that community[I'm gay,and i must say,i have zero in common with western gays and the fact that gays here want to mirror them horrifies me]Ok,this time for real that's it,i just wanted to respond to YOU saying you don't know what hiltz means.

heywoodu 13,562 Posted March 4 #417 Share Posted March 4 Oh nice, a whole back and forth about a person who prefers to be called 'they' instead of 'her'. Even the 'what is a lock?' discussion was more useful Jinzha, Josh and AsensioWillemsen 3 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely plenty of charisma in athletics, as she pulled off a rather unique 60m hurdles / triple jump double on the same day, finishing 6th in both.
