We get it. You think sex and gender are the same thing, and have very narrow views on how they're defined and a woeful lack of acknowledgement that there's even a sliver of complexity here.

I don't see how "let's remove the 'women' category in this competition in the interest of fairness to trans people" is improving things for anyone...
