Sometimes the hand we are dealt prevents us from achieving our dreams and goals. Shortest guy currently in the NBA is 5'11". If you're 5'10" or under (70% of men on earth), you are never going to play in the NBA.
Maybe if you are MtoF trans you are not going to be able to play in women's leagues. I agree it isn't fair to the trans athlete. I don't know how to make it fair to them.

If short men are self-sorted out of competition by their physiology and that’s normal and OK, why do we care if weaker/less talented cis women are self-sorted out of competition by their physiology?
Isn’t it fair to say that if you are a cis girl and you can’t compete with a trans girl, then sorry, but sometimes the hand you are dealt prevents you from achieving your dreams. It’s not like every trans female athlete in every sport has completely dominated and taken every record already. Women’s sports are still entirely dominated by cis women. So why should we care about fairness for the women who not-only can’t compete with the best cis women, but can’t compete with even average trans women either?
