Inertial mass is equivalent to gravitational mass.
Therefore, mass does not change with velocity.

So, you admit relativity reduces to verbiage.

The mass m of a body is not constant.
It varies with the body's velocity, according to the equation:
    m = m0/ √ 1−v2/c2
where:
    v      is the magnitude of the velocity of the body
    c      is the speed of light in vacuum
    m0     is the rest mass of the body.
The value m is known as the relativistic mass of the body.
The factor 1/ √1−v2/c2 is known as the Lorentz factor.
