Not really

What advantage? Hormone replacement therapy does a number on that so-called advantage. Trust me on this one. I've gone through it.

I don't think that sports are pointless, but I thought I thought this topic was pointless until others made a huge deal out of it. I didn't bring it up. I just responded.

I get that you think it boils down to "life's not fair so who cares how someone gets an advantage" but that is simply ridiculous. I bet you don't take that view in any other area?
Except this doesn't compare at all. Players will get kicked out for trying to use steroid enhancements for sure. Transitioning from male to female with hormone replacement is the exact opposite. Are you expecting them to compete with men at this point? Or should transgender people never be allowed to compete in anything athletic?
