From the article: "... The girls continued beating Nex until they [emphasis added] blacked out, the teen said ..."

When you start to pander to mentally ill/delusional people and adopt their self-defined pronouns, it really messes up rational reporting. In this example, the delusional/mentally ill victim used grammatically incorrect "they/them" pronouns, so the foregoing sentence is unclear as to who actually "blacked out."

Since I don't know if it was a boy or girl, I would have written "until it blacked out".

Exactly.
