There's nothing stopping any non trans male rider from entering the same category and winning too. Perhaps there needs to be some kind of performance criteria for the categories going forward.

I thought that's exactly what the Thunder and Lightning categories are? Cis men can't enter Lightning.

Ah maybe you're right then. I thought it was just guidelined as one is for cis men and those who feel their performance aligns most with cis men and the other for cis women and those who feel their performance aligns most with cis women
Aka if a cis man felt he was closer matched with cis women he could enter that one (not that anyone has done this)

There's still and A and B race for each category, they're mainly so you can race against your peers without a rigid cis gender structure. If someone doesn't see themselves as male we're not going to tell them they actually are for the purposes of the race.
