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.

If only your side of the debate had some definitive scientific basis for your assertions . Aside saying it's "common sense" Because it sure as hell isn't to the researchers studying it . I guess they're all just dumb or SJW who want to be non PC (sarcasm )

The lengths some people will go through to break records in volleyball!! And not even mens or international volleball!! Local league and female league. Wonder if it was worth it?
In my opinion Chad32 had is spot on, tier the sport and allow both genders to play and reach the top based on ability. But then again that won't work for sports like rugby or american football (basically any physical contact sport). Humanity isn't quite liberal and brain damaged enough for females and males to compete together at that level. Not quite ready for that much equality yet. Gotta achieve that equality in moderation. Baby steps.
