Just change the name of the “men’s” categories to “open.” As far as I know they already are open, in theory, to anyone of either sex who can make the grade, so it would just be a change of nomenclature.
(Should trans-identified men then complain that that they can’t compete at that level, well, they and their defenders have already explained to us that sports aren’t fair and it’s not about winning, it’s about inclusion.)
Is “non-starter” his new word for no debate, or what. He seems very attached to it. I still can’t understand why trans athletes with such disregard and, let’s face it, hatred for women, want to be women. “Who in the world” indeed. If he can’t beat down women, there’s no fun in it for him. Failure as a man -> transition -> failure as a woman. I see no love of one’s fellow man (or woman) coming from this selfish scrub.
They don’t want an “open” category because it isn’t about being able to compete. It is about being validated. An open category invalidates their “authentic selves” because it tells them they aren’t real women, and that is not allowed.

Wait, doesn’t he have his home remodeling business with his partner.

Yes, I’d agree there are very few people “at his level.”
To be fair, it takes a lot of hard work to sink that low, and these days most people just aren’t willing to put the effort in.
He “a female body”? Words mean nothing any more.
How about racing against other men, then, Rhys?
“Except I’m female, so I have a female body.”
That there is just a flat lie.
Crazy times, where a man can say that out loud and not be ridiculed mercilessly and instantly dismissed as a liar.
Who would you race against, Rhys? Why there must be hundreds, if not thousands, of young men you could recruit and coach into trans “women” cycling.
@maddog1129 – I ridiculed him, but he blocked me, so fat lot of good that did, eh?
It’s the principle of the thing.
If you ridicule a tree in the forest, does anybody hear?
