We already answered the question with athletes who look and feel female, have enlarged breasts , vaginas, and clitorises, but also y chromosomes and consequently no uteruses or eggs. No sperm or penises either come to that. Most of them found out they were xy after sports testing not before. Yet they were not allowed to compete as women. Why? Because the rule was genetic. But gonads and breasts aside these women had the height and musculature of men so the rule does not seem horribly unfair provided they are allowed to compete as men.
Like weight in boxing and wrestling sex is a good proxy to divide people into competitive categories. We use some others such as age. Junior and senior leagues are still a thing. So are handicapped leagues. I'd like to see a short league of basket ball.
So, let the transgender play, and use whatever pro noun or bathroom they prefer, but let physiology determine league in which they play.
