Oh, I agree!
How many of those women are there?
 From what I can tell, in most sports the answer is zero.
FWIW, a woman I know very well is an ultra marathoner. She's done at least one 100 mile solo race, dozens of shorter ultras, generally placed very well, often winning her age group, and had many, many friends in the ultra community.
Yesterday I asked her if trans competitors were a controversy in ultra running. She laughed out loud at the idea.
(P.S. I know our timid tricycle rider will pretend she doesn't exist, and I'll never convince him otherwise. I don't care.)
