"Girls and collegiate women have nothing to lose at this point by simply refusing to compete when they know a boy or a man is in the female-only race, game, or match they’re slated to take part in."
I don't think this is true. I have three daughters. Let's say I find out that one of them is on a team with or has to compete against boys (in addition to in circumstances where they don't have separate girls' teams - which annoyingly happens more often than you'd think.) None of my girls are especially athletic. First, they'd be mocked for not simply working harder or being more athletic so they could beat the boys. In our deep blue area, they'd likely be ostracized by teammates' parents or teammates. They might be named and shamed by the local paper. It could affect their ability to win scholarships or college admissions. They're very strong academically - speaking up about boys in sports gains them little but could hurt them in other areas. If they merely quite the sports team in question, probably no one would notice or care.
I agree with you 100% on this issue, but it's a big ask for middle and high school kids to stand up for themselves, and I think it's ridiculous that grown-ups - other than a few like yourself who speak up - are putting this on their plates. I guess that's why I appreciate that you DO speak up.
For adults, the stakes can be high, too. At my office last week, I noticed they had a video screen cycling through short bios and photos of transgender "pioneers and heroes." The woke-speak is everywhere. If I were to lose my job over speaking up about this stuff, I'd likely find it hard to get another in my very small industry. (Everyone knows everyone - kind of like running journalism I guess.)
