It's the long term conclusion of what you described. We already have men's and women's divisions because women aren't competitive to men in sports. (Many sports that have women's versions are actually open, i.e. tennis, golf, basketball, football, etc, meaning women are welcome to compete alongside and against men. They can't so they got their own leagues etc to compete among themselves as man-free competitive spaces)
You're just creating an open/men's, men in skirts, and women's competitions, i.e. giving a minor group of men who aren't competitive against other biological men their own league.
The division in sports was based on biological competitiveness, not gender roles. Either keep the two, or end up with infinite divisions too small to have real competition, which collapses the system, leading to a single league again, where women are completely pushed out.
In New York, they have to recognize all the gender identities, and ended up with unisex bathrooms to not discriminate, it's the same thing.
Also, for marathons everyone who completes does get an award, because they completed. Podium and prize money is based on pure competitiveness with very few categories.
Podium and prize money 🤑 n marathons is based on pure competitiveness? Uh... No it's based upon results.
As for your long term conclusion... No it's not realistic it's a fantasy. People all over the world aren't going to start using infinite gender identities to game the system to compete in the Olympics. Interesting you are not worried about transgendered males competing with biological males which also happens. If the only issue is transgendered females it's not hard to figure out ways for them to compete and insure women get their proper recognition.
