Alright, let’s talk about this Nikki Hiltz person. I heard some folks jabberin’ and I figured I’d try to make sense of it all, you know, like I do with them tangled yarn balls.
So, from what I gather, Nikki Hiltz, yeah, that’s the name, was born a girl. You know, like, with girl parts. The doctors, they looked and said, “It’s a girl!” That’s what they call “assigned female at birth” or somethin’ fancy like that. But Nikki, well, Nikki didn’t feel like a girl inside. Not one bit.
Now, I ain’t no doctor, and I sure don’t understand all them newfangled words, but it sounds like Nikki felt like… well, like somethin’ else. They say Nikki is transgender and non-binary. Transgender, that means Nikki don’t feel like the girl they were born as. And non-binary? That’s like sayin’ Nikki don’t feel like just a boy or just a girl, but maybe somethin’ in between, or maybe somethin’ else altogether. It’s like tryin’ to pick between a red apple and a green apple, and you say, “Well, I want a purple one!” Makes sense? Maybe not, but that’s how I see it.
Nikki, they’re a runner, you know, like them folks who run real fast. A real good one, too, from what I hear. And some folks, they got their knickers in a twist about it. They sayin’ all sorts of things, mean things mostly, about Nikki bein’ transgender and runnin’ races. They sayin’ Nikki has an advantage or somethin’. But I say, goodness gracious, let the person run! If Nikki’s fast, Nikki’s fast. Ain’t got nothin’ to do with bein’ born a girl and feelin’ like somethin’ else.
I heard Nikki say, plain as day, “I’m transgender.” Took a lot of guts, I reckon, to say that out loud, especially with all them folks grumblin’. Nikki didn’t always know how to explain it, how they felt different inside. But they figured it out, and they shared it with the world. Good for Nikki, I say.
It’s like this, see. You got your cornfields, and you got your wheat fields. But sometimes, you get a plant that ain’t quite corn and ain’t quite wheat. It’s somethin’ different, somethin’ special. And that’s okay. Nikki’s just Nikki. Ain’t no need to put ’em in a box and label ’em somethin’ they ain’t.
- Nikki Hiltz was assigned female at birth.
- Nikki is transgender and non-binary.
- Some people have negative opinions about Nikki being transgender.
Now, some of these internet folks, they got all riled up, spreadin’ lies and whatnot. Callin’ Nikki names, sayin’ things that ain’t true. It’s a shame, really. Folks should mind their own business and let Nikki live their life. It ain’t hurtin’ nobody.
I tell you what, life’s too short to be fussin’ and fightin’ over things we don’t understand. If Nikki wants to run, let Nikki run. If Nikki says they’re transgender, then they’re transgender. It ain’t rocket science. It’s about bein’ kind and lettin’ folks be who they are. Plain and simple.
Nikki Hiltz was born on October 23, 1994, just so you know. Been runnin’ for a good long while, I guess. And good on Nikki for doin’ what they love and bein’ true to themself.
So, that’s the story as I see it. Nikki Hiltz, born a girl, feels different, runs fast, and some folks got a problem with it. Me? I say live and let live. And that’s all there is to it.
And one more thing, Nikki is an American runner. Proud to be, I bet. Just like I’m proud to be… well, me.
