There -is- controversy..but not about the clinical data. It's a social controversy.
There -is- ongoing study, and that ongoing study has continued to fail to quantify any trans advantage, just as previous studies failed to quantify a trans advantage.
The links that I was recently discussing were provided by Alpha, so you already have them. The references on those links are extensive. Maybe peruse those?
(It would probably be more accurate to say that I think that there isn't any fence for you to sit on, at least not clinically, biologically, or rationally. What are we talking about, at this point, if not phantom advantages?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
