American Olympic runner Nikki Hiltz, who identifies as transgender nonbinary, reacts to Supreme Court ruling

Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany discusses the Supreme Court decision involving transgender athletes on 'Outnumbered.'

Nikki Hiltz, an American Olympic runner who identifies as transgender nonbinary, reacted to the Supreme Court ruling on transgender athletes on Saturday.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of West Virginia and Idaho on Tuesday against trans athletes who sued to gain access to girls' sports. The states were backed by the law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), while the trans athletes were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Cooley Legal.

In the highly anticipated rulings in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, the high court upheld state laws requiring student-athletes to compete on sports teams that correspond with their biological sex at birth rather than their gender identity.

Hiltz competed in the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, winning the mile race with a 4:17.49.

"I wasn’t surprised, but I was obviously still disappointed," Hiltz said of the ruling, via The Athletic. "For me, I want to show that trans people can be in sport, be affirmed in their gender. We’re not these big, scary things."

Hiltz added, "It’s a really weird time in our country for a lot of different communities, mine specifically."
