My point is that a tiny physiological advantage cannot be written off with competitive competition. It's too, well, competitive! 

They're "written off" constantly between cis gender competitors.  Is it a small advantage, btw..and is that small advantage larger or greater than the effect of transitioning?

Khem, to be clear on your position here:

You're claiming that you were a competitive track athlete, and that you think advantages, such as a few seconds in a sprint race, are written off constantly between competitors?

That's not going to happen. Avoiding a specific position that he'd actually have to defend with evidence is one of his trademarks.

Should we stop African American men playing basket ball with Caucasian men because the African americans seem to have an overwhelming advantage?

Discuss.

Except...African American men don't seem to have an overwhelming advantage.

No. Sports are devided up by sex, not race.

Do you think men and women should compete together because blacks and whites compete together?

If your answer is no, then you agree that sex plays a major role in someone's performance in sports.

there's no big testosterone difference between races, not even close to the gap between male v female. if there is a gap in athleticism (as big as m v f) then one race would dominate all sports, which isn't the case. for example tennis , cricket, baseball, basketball. all have different races as most outstanding performers, it just depends on genetics, interest, practice etc

Following that line of race and gender, should we do away with separate gender athletic competitions and have black men play basketball against white women despite that black men would have an overwhelming advantage over white women?

Absolutely. Doing otherwise would be racist and sexist.

I was thinking about this in the sense that it's interesting to think why any sports are segregated in anyway.

Why is it a thing to segregate men because men are on average better at certain sports than women, and heavier fighters have an advantage in combat sports, age groups, but it's not a done thing to segregate height in basketball, races in running or swimming.

The reason of segregation at all seems to be in order to create more champions, more high earners and I'd guess create more events that people want to see and pay for.

So as for a reason as to not segregating races I can only imagine the reason for that and other segregations are that it wouldn't generate much pay per view interest.
People aren't really interested in seeing the fastest running white guy or the black guy who's best at swimming. They just want to pay for best man, woman and then further segregation by age groups.

Additionally races aren't as easy to organize as age, gender and weight, that would be a factor.

I'm saying people want to see sports segregated male and female but there's obviously a huge disparity in popularity between male and female events in a lot of sports.
