The simplest solution is stop gendering individual competition. Run everyone together and sort the results by gender later if that's your prerogative.
Doesn't this still result in the same issue, though? If cis men tend to sprint faster (for example) because of an inherent physiological advantage, there's a need to rank women's results separately regardless of whether they ran alongside, and at that point you still have to decide whether you include trans women in that group, rank trans women (or all trans competitors) in their own grouping, or exclude them from grouping, and all of these feel unfair in one way or another.
No. if there's no body to decide it then it's your own choice and bigots are just going to do their bigoted shit you just wouldn't need to care about it at all.
