"I walked away, stunned but not brave. And feeling bad about it. What should I have said in this situation? What would you have said?"
It takes a certain amount of practice/training to be prepared to be rude to people by asking questions. Don't feel bad about it. (I'm a journalist, I've got years of practice.) But if you did feel like it, then I guess the first question would be "so if it's everyone competing against themself, you wouldn't mind giving the prizemoney to the cis women who passed you?" (No) "Well why not?" (Because it's about your category, nonbinary is my category) "But sports are segregated by sex, not gender, because it's your sex that confers physical advantages. You're very evidently male."
And so on. The aim is not to tell them what your opinion is (this is the mistake most people make), but to show up the contradictions and inconsistencies in *their* position.
Ha, I get you. I'm a journalist too, but with regard to gender ideology it's like questioning someone about their religion or their sexuality. It's something we're (or I'm as a woman) trained to avoid
I've just been calling them out for being mentally ill cheaters. Yeah, It's an asshole move but I'm noticing more and more assholes speaking up. Once people see a few alphas standing in the breach, the fence sitters who know what's right eventually join in.
The results are clear - equal top-3 awards with a 3rd sex-class with 1% as many runners is NOT competitive, but we can guess it will marginally improve once some bold nonconforming runners know there's easier prize money to be had.
