Since this is a relatively new phenomena, one would not expect to see that many trans athletes competing on an olympic level... Yet...

And I agree, I doubt you'll see it in women's gymnastics and a few other highly specialized sports.

But... If nothing is done, Lea Thomas will swim in the Olympics and beat many women. You will see it in women's basketball, ice skating, skiing, biathlon, cycling, track & field, etc, etc, etc...
