That seems incredibly confusing. I wonder what the women in the race knew and when?
This isn't complicated. There isn't any non-binary category for Golden Tickets. if you want one, you have to claim it according to your sex. If you want to register for Western States, you register by sex, not gender.
Javelina Jundred has a gender category for non-binary, but that's moot as far as Western States qualification goes. It's no different than if the Best Costume winner finished 2nd. They're different awards.
