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 think setting medical-based limits in elite sports is reasonable. Which, as you said, will police out some cis gender athletes from their selected categories, but that is just the hand you’re dealt and life is not fair.
