If I register as a woman and beat the female BQ standard by 10min, what are the chances that I run Boston next year?

Wow! I wonder why nobody ever thought of this, or something similar, before? And then repeatedly posted the brilliant idea over and over?

I have no intention of actually doing this, but I am genuinely interested in any applicable rules and precedents. (I am aware of rules out there that say something to the effect of I would have to be on hormone therapy for a year[?] before being allowed to compete, but I believe that is only at the professional/Olympic level... I am interested to know if anything similar applies to Hobby Runners.)

Maybe this thread will even inspire someone else to try it...

I have posted this in other threads and have stated over and over it's possible. The minute they say I can't do it I threaten to sue them and they get blasted in the media as homophobes and I'm hailed a hero and they have to let me run. But wait I'm a man and I don't want to bitch out and go that route.

Tell them you identify as a butch lesbian. I dare them to challenge me on it. If not, sue the hell out them for homophobe PTSD and get free legal help from all the civil rights groups.

Thanks for the bump. Your snarky comment aside, my question is about logistics, not possibilities. It is easy to say "I dare them to deny me; I will sue." What I want to know is: are there similar guidelines that govern us Hobby Runners and transgender elites?

"dare them to challenge me"? Oops! Replying to your own post again?

Someone missed their hormone treatment.

Since I'm attracted to Lauren Southern, and he's a man... that must make me gay. It stands to reason that I can now check off the LGBTQ box on any government or university job application, where being a member of a minority group increases your odds of being hired.

Hooray!

Dude if you're going to troll your own thread, at least come up with an insult that kind of makes sense.
