I am not aware of any gender specific softball leagues in TV. Neighborhood softball on Saturdays is often coed.
TV 'men's' leagues are comprised of Divisions with teams within. There are a finite number of players on each team. Typically 12.
Managers traft players based on criteria such as ability and statistics. Other factors of a personal nature come into play. Such as friends, golf or poker buddies. Whatever.
The result is that not everyone who signs up gets on a team. They can substitute or elect to move down to a lower division that must accept them, for one season only.
It can be a cold experience for some players to be 'rejected'.
Point being does a physically gifted transgender qualify to knock of a woman in a 'women's' league? I'm sure it's all kumbaya until someone gets booted off.

There may be ramifications with the local baseball leagues but think of the larger landscape which includes titles, record setting, scholarships, Olympic berths for women. Individual rights end when they infringe on other’s rights. Biological women who are heterosexual have no choice to compete with any one other than females. Transgenders have a choice.
