Of course, it is possible that hormones are the only advantage, but there seems to be more to it than that, considering the other posts in here by people equally as adamant as you are that there are important size, build and bone structure issues involved. Your word isn't enough to refute that. It's still being debated in the scientific community, which says a lot more than any non-expert could.
Which to me suggests that there is no single advantage trans women have that cisgendered women can't also have because of other causes. So why single out transsexuals?
I think you might have identified the cause about it being the perception of advantage.
A similar argument where you hear this, is in race. White folks object to "Black scholarships" and the "NAACP" and things of that nature, because some black people have the same advantages of some white folks. Barack Obama is president after all! So why single out white people!? (I do not agree with that either)
