The discrimination you point out is in place today - we call it protecting women's sports.
What happens in someone's brain, the gender that feels comfortable to them or the sex of those they feel attracted to, doesn't determine their physical characteristics. It is the physical characteristics of a biological male that makes it harmful to allow them to compete in a women's sport. That seems to me to be a pretty fair dividing line.
Handle other edge cases as they come up. Today, the issue is trans-women. Today, biological women are being harmed when biological men are allowed to compete in women's sports. Solve today's problem today.

Prezactly! I can only think of a handful of women who tried to compete with men. They all failed...
Annika Sorenstam
Michelle Wei
Babe Didrikson Zaharias and a few others...
Women Playing Men in Golf
And then, there are these women... NONE of them played close to a top tier level...
