The one issue I have is athletic competitions with transwomen who transitioned AFTER puberty. I think that gives them an unfair advantage because they developed as male, and so (in general) are faster and stronger. Trans-surgery doesn't change that.
This x1000. People who say, "A man who transitions just loses all the strength once the hormones kick in" lack a fundamental understanding of the full differences between trained male and female athletes. A man who's been powerlifting for decades and decides to transition is going to have huge advantages in bone density, heart/lung capacity and connective tissue over a female that's been trained for a similar length of time.
Off the top of my head, there may need to be a separate category for transpersons, just to level the playing field.
Either go man/woman/open or have it woman/open.
