Natalie Daniels Paid the Price for Truth — But Staying Silent Costs More

Why Do These Men Keep Inserting Themselves Into Women’s Sports?

Natalie Daniels ran the Boston Marathon just months after giving birth — clocking in at 2:50. She’s what most would call a badass. But apparently, standing up for women now gets you kicked out of your local running club. Her crime? Daring to say what most people are too afraid to: men don’t belong in women’s sports.

That’s it. That’s the whole controversy. She stated a biological fact. And for that, she was punished.

A decade ago, if a woman ran a sub-three-hour Boston Marathon only six months after giving birth, she was pretty much guaranteed a fawning spread in a fitness magazine.

But last week, only days after running the vaunted race in 2:50:04, new mom Natalie Daniels was booted from her running club in the DC metro area.

The reason? She spoke up about fairness in women’s sports.

So let’s stop dancing around the polite fiction. Why are these so-called “trans women” — biological men — so hell-bent on inserting themselves into women’s sports? Over and over and over again. Is it about acceptance? No. Is it about identity? Doubtful. It’s about domination. It’s about erasing boundaries, taking what doesn’t belong to them, and daring anyone to push back.

The Boston Marathon is effectively erasing the female category by allowing men to run in it.

Thank you, Natalie Daniels, for speaking up.

What Is Really Happening Here?

And here’s the more disturbing question: why are so many people — including feminists — okay with it?

Where are the pink-hat warriors now? Where are the “believe women” banners and the “my body, my choice” screeds when actual women are being told to sit down and shut up in their own sports, their own locker rooms, their own races?

Silence.

It’s almost like they’ve handed over their megaphones to the men in dresses who now get to dictate what “womanhood” means. Because standing up for biological women might get them labeled transphobic. And heaven forbid anyone risk being unpopular on Instagram.

The Real Truth

We need more people speaking up — even if you think this isn’t your fight. Spoiler: it is. Think about your future. Think about your kids’ future.

Because one day, you might find yourself in a care facility, vulnerable, and surrounded by men pretending to be women — and no one allowed to question it.

Still think it doesn’t affect you? Go look up autogynephilia. Then tell me again this is just about “identity.”

I know, people are afraid of this idea, but it is true, and it is happening. And people need to start educating themselves on this topic. Go read ReduXX and follow Kellie-Jay Keen – start with her Terf Talk Tuesday playlist.

A trans-identified male in Giessen, Germany, has been sentenced to 10 months probation after repeatedly exposing his genitals in public, soliciting migrant children for sexual abuse, and spraying them with his urine. During the hearing, the public prosecutor assigned to his case argued that the crimes were simply an attempt by the man to “affirm her femininity,” to which the judge agreed. – ReduXX

Autogynephilia is defined as a male’s propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of himself as female. Autogynephilia explains the desire for sex reassignment of some male-to-female (MTF) transsexuals. It can be conceptualized as both a paraphilia and a sexual orientation.

Do Not Be Afraid, We Need Your Voice

Speak up, it is okay to be portrayed as “rude” for telling a man he is not welcome in women’s spaces. And yes, you may even get kicked out of organizations like Natalie Daniels did. Here is an interview with XX-XY Athletics:

Mob Rule: Olympian Hiltz Piles On for Speaking Truth

Here’s yet more proof that they’re desperate to silence anyone who speaks the truth. Natalie Daniels was targeted by another runner — Nikki Hiltz — who identifies as transgender and non-binary. Hiltz, an Olympic athlete and biological female who still competes in the women’s category, decided to go after Daniels publicly on Instagram.

Sidenote:

Yes, it’s confusing — because it’s meant to be. Nikki Hiltz is a biological female who identifies as “trans” and “non-binary” (neither of which are real, by the way), yet she still competes in the women’s category. Why? Because she knows the science too. If she truly identified as trans, why isn’t she racing against men? Simple — she knows she wouldn’t win.

---

The backstory: Daniels had reached out to XX-XY Athletics and said she’d proudly wear a special Boston Marathon singlet if they made one. She posted about it on Instagram. That was enough to trigger Hiltz, who not only jumped in to mock Daniels but also unleashed her online mob. What followed was a flood of hate-filled comments attacking Daniels for simply standing up for fairness in women’s sports. This is how they operate — intimidation, pile-ons, and trying to shut you up by force.

Mocked, Doxxed, and Targeted for Telling the Truth

She was inspired to reach out to XX-XY, an apparel company that was founded on keeping women’s sports female.

“I said, ‘Hey, if you guys came up with a Boston special singlet, I would wear it proudly,’” Daniels recalled. She also agreed to do an interview with the brand, published on YouTube, in which she discussed her common sense views about biology and fair competition.

She thought maybe 100 people would see it. But things exploded when Olympic runner Nikki Hiltz — a biological woman who identifies as trans and nonbinary and who competes in the female category — made a snarky rebuttal video that went viral.

Olympic runner Nikki Hiltz, who identifies as a trans and nonbinary, blasted Daniels for speaking up about fairness in women’s sports.

“I thought the whole point of a marathon was to get the best out of yourself. And can I have fun along the way … ” Hiltz says in the video, posted on Tiktok. “Are you mad because, instead of 900th [place], you’re going to take 901 because a trans woman maybe beats you?”

Daniels, who actually came in 110th in the women’s division in Boston, feels Hiltz was diminishing amateur runners: “She was saying competition doesn’t matter and integrity in your sport doesn’t matter.”

Daniels’ Instagram quickly filled up with harassing comments and strangers started liking data from her Strava app, which shows running locations, to “intimidate” her.

More

And then there is the running club Natalie Daniels was in and her male coach telling her to pretty much such up before deciding to throw her out altogether, even after she apologized and agreed to not post any more on her Instagram account.

 

On the Saturday before the race, her coach suggested she not wear the club’s uniform for her own safety.

He also asked her to make a “clarifying statement” to the club. Daniels said she told them she apologized if she had made people upset. But she did not apologize for her view that women’s sports should be for biological women.

She also agreed not to post anything else on Instagram about it. But she was active on X “because people were being nice. It was an emotional boost.”

Daniels declines to name the club because she doesn’t want people to target them. Instead, she wants “to show that speaking your mind about fairness will still come at a personal cost.”

Without Apology

Frankly, Natalie Daniels was way too gracious. She called this man “she,” refused to name the running club, and even apologized. Why? For telling the truth? No woman should ever feel the need to walk back a factual statement about biology.

And agreeing to stop posting about it on Instagram? Absolutely not. That’s how they silence you — by shaming you into retreat. Don’t let them. You have every right to speak up, and even more reason to keep going.

So this isn’t just about keeping sports fair for women, it is a whole bigger picture that needs to be kept in mind.

Here’s the truth no one wants to say: this movement isn’t about inclusion — it’s about submission.

Women are expected to shut up, step aside, and clap while men redefine their identity, take their trophies, and rewrite the record books.

It’s not progress. It’s theft — biological, social, and cultural.

And it’s happening because not enough people are brave enough to ask the obvious:
Why do these men want so badly to beat women at something? What exactly are they trying to prove?

Until we start asking that — out loud, without apology — this will keep happening. And if you think it won’t hit your daughter’s swim team, your niece’s soccer league, or your local gym, you’re wrong. It already has.
