Nikki Hiltz wants people to educate themselves on trans women in sports.
Team USA Olympian Nikki Hiltz on their journey to Paris 2024 OlympicsTeam USA middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz discusses their journey to the 2024 Paris Olympics and their LGBTQ+ advocacy after coming out as transgender and nonbinary.
ABC NEWS: I bet you've said that you didn't really set out to be an advocate for LGBTQ rights, but were forced into the spotlight after coming out as trans nonbinary. Why is that visibility so important to you? HILTZ: Yeah. I mean, it's just an ongoing conversation. For me, just a lot more inclusive language has been really helpful. You know, announcers, broadcasters using my correct pronouns, referring to, you know, people in my event as, "Here are the athletes competing in the women's 1500" instead of, "Here are the women 1500 runners."
HILTZ: I would encourage people to educate themselves. You know, the guidelines that are in place now, a trans woman can't compete until they've taken, I think it's a year or more of HRT, which is hormone replacement therapy. And, you know, it's, I think it's a fair guideline. And, yeah, I think there's a lot of ignorance right now.
