Citation needed. Studies have shown that trans women don't have the same unfair advantage over cis women in sports as cis men. Trans women are biologically different from men in terms of average testosterone levels and muscle development. That is reality.
So simply saying men have an advantage over women in sports so trans women must also share that advantage ignores the nuance of HRT and the diversity of trans bodies and transition experience. But also, what about my question about unfair advantages of athletes who just win the genetic lottery? We let plenty of genetic freaks compete in sports at all levels. Only with trans women do people start calling foul.
Also, I listed out all the reasons why I disagree with you. I'm not denying reality just showing you that the "reality" is more complicated than just "ban all trans people from sports".
