When it comes to elite sports and the reasoning behind protected classes governing bodies can deal with this from a standpoint of inclusivity. Most have gone to HRT + testosterone threshold but the testosterone threshold also can exclude Cis athletes and for some reason people object when that happens.
Whether someone is better than your daughter because she is genetically gifted with superior female chromosomes or male chromosomes doesn’t matter.

I don't think we reached the same conclusion with what I said at all. I'm also still skeptical that this is a problem that doesn't exist and I'm particularly skeptical that this isn't something that will become bigger as time goes on. Also, hand waving it away does not help a trans kid plan an athletic future.
