You might be surprised, but I agree with you.
Your gender category should be the one assigned at birth. If you spent a lifetime bathed in (for example) testosterone, your bone structure is going to be more massive, and your upper body strength greater (in general). When you transition, even when treated with estrogen, much of that remains. I understand it does diminish somewhat. But it's still -IMO- an unfair advantage if you enter women's events.
If they are going to do it, there probably should be a third category for "trans-women". Then they are all on the same footing (formerly male, now female), with all the same hormonal history.
