Seeing the comments here, people are understandably confused: it needs to be clarified that, as far as I know, Nikki was born a woman. This is not a Lia Thomas situation. I am 100% against men « transitioning » into women’s sports, and thankfully this is not one of those cases. As far as I understand, Nikki doesn’t identify as either male or female, but she does not have the biological advantages of a man. She does not deserve the hate.

@@chloesmith5142 So? We don't get to simply redefine the rules and the world simply because it's inconvenient for us or we're "uncomfortable" with it. If I'm "uncomfortable" with the actions of the US government, I don't simply get to renounce my citizenship while retaining all the rights and benefits of that citizenship. I don't get to narcissistically demand the world never refer to me as "American", and must instead use some replacement word of my choosing (which may change at any moment), because being called "American" upsets my sensibilities. I also don't get to tell border agents that "I don't feel comfortable with my country so I refuse to use my US passport, you'll just have to take my personally issued documentation and accept my word at face value." This would be obvious nonsense. Conversely, if I'm not American, I don't simply get to "identify" as an American and instantly receive the rights & privileges of American citizenship. I want to make it clear I don't CARE what Nikki does or how Nikki feels. Nikki can do whatever Nikki likes. But people like Nikki are MAKING this an issue by demanding that the rest of us accommodate their whims on how to use language itself. If you compete in the women's category, you are a woman, and everyone will REFER to you as a woman. If you actively do not identify as a woman and you demand that the whole world refer to you as a non-woman, then you don't get to compete in the women's category. You cannot have it both ways. I'm so tired of people feeling entitled to demand that the entire world cater to their whims. Are we all supposed to walk around with notebooks, scribbling down reminders of precisely how every single person on Earth "identifies" and what personally-engineered language we're supposed to use for this or that person? It's all so much narcissistic entitlement under the guise of "inclusion".

For context, I do not agree with transwomen competing in the women’s category (Lia Thomas situation) as they undoubtedly have a biological advantage, even after hormone treatment. This has been scientifically proven. The pronouns that someone chooses to use (their gender identity) has no effect on the category that they compete in. Nikki is biologically a woman, therefore can compete in the woman’s category. Identifying as non-binary literally has no effect on that. I am not an American citizen so I have no opinion on that.
