It still begs the question: what to "do" about it? I mean I totally get the basketball leagues situation. A man who transitions to a woman, could possibly be a foot taller than the tallest woman in the league. It can certainly be an advantage. But is it enough of an advantage that the league should actually care about it? I'm not convinced it is. But I believe it's a valid question that deserves an answer, for anyone who actually gives a crap about professional basketball.
I don't care about competitive sports at all. None of them. So I have no horse in this race. (I do like riding horses. I just don't race them because - I don't care about competitive sports.)

Abnormalities aside, here is the simplified answer. An x chromosome is female, xx is a woman. Y chromosome is the male. Presence of a y is a man. On average men are biger, stronger, faster then women. A so-called transgender woman is not a woman if the y chromosome is present.
Surgical alteration is artificial enhancement to give the physical appearance of what one wishes to look like, but it does not alter ones genetic code.
You may not care about competition in sports, but all of life is competitive. Sports, education, business science, health, politics, everything. Sports ia just the visable tip of the iceberg. If truth, real fairness, honesty fails here due to agenda driven PC, it will fail everywhere. Not everyone deserves respect. Truth deserves respect. Honesty deserves respect. And fairness deserves respect.
