Science disagrees. There are rigorous standards for hormonal levels of trans participants that are set by the IOC - many, in fact, feel that they are an extremely conservative overreach to more than ensure that it's NOT unfair competition. The 101 version is that hormonal transition results in loss of physiological benefits (bone density and musculature) that are associated with previous exposure to male hormones.
