It isn't really that hard, just a little google search could explain it for you. Nikki runs based on biology (sex) but identifies a different gender role.
Sex generally refers to an organism's biological sex, while gender usually refers to either social roles typically associated with the sex of a person (gender role) or personal identification of one's own gender based on their own personal sense of it (gender identity).
We all know this -- however it needs to be said that Nikki prefers that gender identity take preference over sex in sports competitions. Nikki is in favour of males who identify as women racing against females or biological women. That is the rub and it's fair to criticize her for this.
Okay... let's analyze that...
Since Trump is against LGBTQIAP2S+ and conservative people love trump then by nature they are bigots..i mean... that's the rub.
Logically you have to accept both or neither...
You can't parse.
This is your Rube Goldberg for conservatives.
Your move, Dumbo (I mean you're representing elephants...so I name it Dumbo)
She can thank Elle for that time. SHE did all the work to get her there. Can’t wait for them to stop referring to this team as women and instead only say athletes HA
Maybe Elle needs to learn how to race… not just run

This what we want right? IDGAF what you call yourself, but when you enter the sports arena you do so as your biological sex. Commentators can use whatever pronouns, it doesn't change the event on the track being run fairly.
No, you have to understand sex and gender. The main reason is that y'all HATED IT when it seemed like gender was the determinant of who would be admissible in women's competitions, but now that it's determined more by biology, you're carping that there are people there who don't identify as women. Maybe you want a LADIES category with mandatory ponytails, I dunno.
Christine Mboma is a woman. She was born without male genitalia. She was raised as a woman her entire life, and she has been called a girl or woman since the day of her birth. Until some time in the 20th century no one, including her, would have had the tools to determine that her sex is not entirely female. However World Athletics determined that her natural testosterone levels and other physical traits made it unfair for her to compete against women. That doesn't make her not a woman, it makes her ineligible to compete in the women's category.
Nikki Hiltz does not consider themself a woman, however their body has the characteristics of someone who is eligible to compete in the Women's category. Live with it. World Athletics does not discern or decide what sex or gender someone is, just what category of race they run.

Idiot. she ran a legit (from the front) 3:57 to make a second Olympic event after having run two 5k races, including a pressure-packed final (which she WON)). Pretty sure she knows how to race.
