It's the most popular event for speedrunning and has raised millions of dollars each year for over a decade. Sounds like they're doing just fine as is and, perhaps, fostering an inclusive environment which explicitly protects people demonized by society at large has only helped, not hurt.
"The organization's mission is to leverage high-level speedrunning gameplay from community events to support humanitarian efforts, having raised over $59 million to date."
"Charity Fundraising: The primary goal is to maximize donations for charity, notably Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation."
The word "humanitarian" seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Technically any goodwill effort could be considered humanitarian, since it affects humans. But clearly some efforts are more effective than others, and they have to choose which to amplify.
Meanwhile the gap is well known to be massive in typical events, e.g.:
* Compare https://worldpowerlifting.com/records/womens-world-records/ vs https://worldpowerlifting.com/records/mens-world-records/ (or for that matter, browse through https://exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards)
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_100_metres_world_recor... plateaued at numbers seen in men's competition over a century ago; a "sub-elite" female competitor sprints barely ahead of "intermediate recreational" men per https://marathonhandbook.com/average-100-meter-time/ . Griffith-Joyner's record-setting time would not have even qualified her to run with men since at least 2000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_metres_at_the_Olympics
* I often hear it suggested that women show an advantage in longer races, but even at standard marathon length this is not borne out in results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Boston_Marathon
* National and international level competitive women's sports teams regularly get trounced by teenaged boys in exhibition e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDH_r7-GN4o widely reported on last year and https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-b... from 2017
* The entire history of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sexes_(tennis) requires quite a bit of creative interpretation to put women's tennis anywhere near the level of men's
That's just off the top of my head of anecdotes and examples I can recall being casually thrown around in these sorts of discussions.
There is more complexity than the binary in the expression of sex in humans.

Sports categories never had anything to do with gender.
The other difference of sexual development are different sexes
