It's not just gliding. FAI World Aerobatics Championships (power) has a Men's winner and a Women's winner.
Women and men should obviously compete in the same championship and the only sexists must be the various organisers of those events.
If I was female I would refuse competing in a separate class for women. This has happened before in other sports. Annika Sorenstam (Golf), Judith Polgar (Chess) etc.
