    Those are kind of fun

    The winds were really bad. Like, you probably shouldn't shoot a gun in these kind of gusts bad. Maybe Soldier Hollow was more protected or less affected? I don't know enough about the weather dynamics there.

    Yeah, results system is up: https://results.accra2023ag.com/wrs/eng/zz/engzz_general-general-schedule.htm It's the same one used by Rabat 2019. It probably means no, or very limited, PDF results

    Hopefully the weather is better this weekend. It was not nice in the Western half of the country the last few days.

    I was speaking more culturally/psychologically about gender identity.
  10. Olympian1010
    Genuinely didn't mean it to be an insult by the way. 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.
  11. Olympian1010
    Well, that's different concept in my opinion then. I've never met anyone who does seriously.
  12. Olympian1010
    Those aren't the same thing as being transgender or non-binary though. They aren't identifying as "non-human," or random objects. Nor, are they commiting identity theft. They're saying they culturally, or in some cases physically, identify with one gender or neither gender.
  13. Olympian1010
    I think non-binary has more to do with people not identifying with commonly proclaimed masculine or feminine traits. It could also mean someone doesn't want their biology being considered when talked about (ie, essentially idenfiying as "general human"). I realize that aspect of that may be more difficult in the context of sport. Nonetheless, I don't feel like someone not wanting be connected to prescripted ideas of gender is that bad, honestly.
  14. Olympian1010
    That phrasing is a commonly accepted way of describing people's birth gender in the United States. If you don't like the way that source worded it, here's a quote from a story Fox News wrote about them: "Hiltz, a biological female who identifies as transgender non-binary, said it was a win for the trans community."

    Honestly, I don't remember there being a huge push from within the sport to improve the standard/format of equestrain until it was clear the IOC wanted the discipline out of the sport. Maybe there were some efforts I can't remember (I didn't really follow international sports in-depth until 2017/2018), so perhaps someone can speak more on the topic.
  16. Olympian1010
    Confusion over their gender aside, it's nice to see them getting some top results at the international level. They've been a popular runner on the domestic scene for a while, so I think a lot of people who bee happy to them qualify for the Olympics.
  17. Olympian1010
    I'd advise fact checking such things before making arguements against athletes... "Hiltz was assigned female at birth but doesn’t identify with either binary gender, rather identifying as nonbinary and using they/them pronouns."
