So why can't you bid 2♣ anyway?

mainly because I don't like getting passed in 2♣ when partner holds

In "normal" methods, the 2♣ rebid can be, among other shapes, 6-4 or 5-5. It's possible for responder to choose the wrong suit when he is 2-3. Somehow we all seem to survive. I'm sure you would too.

What is your rebid and why?

I am systemically screwed by this hand so have to choose between 3♦ and 3♣ I would probably elect 3♦

I understand you use 2C as a gadget, but can't this hand be incorporated into it as a possibility?

The problem I have is I use 1♦ ...2♣ rebid with all minimal xy45 and xy54 hands

Well, there's an argument for a 1♠ rebid. Discussed as possibly a 3-card suit when 5+ diamonds, 4+ clubs, and wrong for 2♣.

Why not: 1C - 1H - 2D?
