You should really try to use the correct pronouns

[chqnnel]

Why do people dislike this he's telling the truth this is disgusting

[LeahPlayzMinecraft]

First thing that ticks me off about the video in the first 15seconds: HIM PRONOUNSIf someone is FTM they are to most likely want he/him pronouns, I mean, it's logical isn't it?

[EdAlex]

what about people who are born disabled? Why did the Lord want them to be disabled??

[judestone]

the misgendering makes me wildly uncomfortable tbh ew

[lex]

Wow there are some hateful people in this comment section. Biological sex has nothing to do with gender identity. Try to be a decent person and use the correct pronouns at least to be kind, polite and respectful. I was raised to treat others as I want them to treat me and I treat people with respect. Misgendering someone is rude, hateful and disgusting. How would you like it if someone purposely misgendered you? I mean is it really that hard to be respectful? Try to be a decent person.

The amount of misgendering in this video is atrocious.

[annewithrow]

Why the hate? What has Chris done to you? Let him be the best he can be.

[Adelynnh]

Excuse me but please say "he" if you're talking about someone who identifies as a man. For real...

[katharinegarcia]

is he serious he needs to cut it out and leave people alone

[jeffwestbrooke]

it used to be that psychology was how you felt and biology is the fact of who you are. It's dangerous when we start confusing the two. Once we start to bend this rule it becomes a convenience of our own righteousness. I will continue to pray for HER. We can't change whether we have an "x" or "y" chromosome no matter how you mutilate yourself or who you say you are. I don't doubt the confusion she felt through the years was painful but what would have been wrong with helping her to accept the person she is? if your child thinks they are a bird won't you talk with them before they jump out of a tree? How dare you judge what they think they are. Bending the rules gets out of control quickly.

Just think what Caitlyn Jenner could have done against women athletes in '76!

[eternalmiasma]

I know this is about a month old but to put my opinion on, as a transgneder person myself, I think that he has done an amazing thing and I'm so glad that we are getting more positive attention. As for being what God wants us to be, not to get into a "if God is real" argument I think that you should be what you want to be, and if he didn't want us to be this why the he would have stopped it. And for any trans people seeing this video just know, that being your own God is the meaning of life, chose your path and strive for greatness and comfort, just do it : )

[peepleal]

Please be respectful and use the right pronouns...

[ScootBoot]

I think your very disrespectful.  don't be rude call him a he,    you sound like your trying to make a point of it   and that's the kind o shit I put up with everyday, I think id recognize it.  when i heard about him on the radio I cried, ive never had a hero before, specialty not a sports hero,   it means a lot to me as another trans man that he is in the Olympics,   I was always too terrified of the other boys to join the sports teams, I like seeing someone like me do something I wasn't able to do.   even he doesn't win anything he's still my hero.

[Liizaardon]

Holy shit dude, fucked it up right out the gate
He/him, please and thanks goddamn

[avaridge]

Her her her her her.... call him by his proper pronouns man it’s not going to hurt you I promise

[daisyvineyard]

HE HIM NOT HER SHE. He is living his life. He's not living his life too walk on your toes. He just want to be happy like everyone else. So let him live his life in peace. Iam sure you don't like it when people point fingers at you and point out what your not and what you should be doing with your life. love is love.

Conservatives conserve, the world changes but you want the world will not change. Stay with your God all you want, just do not force others to live under the same rules of religious conduct.

Wonderful Nike campaign and you will have to swallow the changes that the world're going through, is much greater than the strength of your God ...

[becomingme]

Oh my gosh the least you could do is get the pronouns right!!
