I don't think I'd feel at all comfortable running in a "woman's" race. Let women and men have their own races if they so choose - races are generally funded privately and it should be their right to include or exclude anyone they like.
I don't think there are many who would agree that the Special Olympics should be inclusive to anyone who wants to participate with or without a handicap.
