That’s the issue in a nutshell; for some reason, you seem to genuinely believe that this post is somehow all about you, and your opinion; as if your perspective is somehow more valid than anyone else’s here.
But unless you are actually the ‘gentleman’ in question, it’s really not.
is it time for this?
I think there might be some other bad actors apart from that group.
I can understand why those who are labelled TERF’s might cast a jaundiced eye on situations like this:

or this:

or this:

Clearly the first example is just fraud. But the second and third examples aren’t so neat. How is the woman being asked to do the Brazillian on this person to know whether this is a genuine request or something more like an assault or a lawsuit fishing expedition? Should she be required to work around this person’s penis either way if it makes her uncomfortable?
Should cis women really be content to concede that what used to be called “women’s sport” will henceforth be dominated by persons who grew up with testorsterone?
I think there are some good arguments for exclusion – or at least very cautious inclusion in a few of these circumstances.
