Any expert can tell you that if you've gone through male puberty, you have a huge advantage physically against any person who has not. That doesn't mean that all who have gone through male puberty will be better at sports than the best biological women. But it will be more obvious in very physically demanding sports, like for example boxing. Studies show that going through gender-affirming hormone therapy lessens that advantage over time and many countries have a two year ban until trans athletes are eligible for competition.
Whether or not those who have gone through male puberty should be able to compete in women's sports is a discussion worth having. Sports should be about fair competition. The cost is excluding a vulnerable group of women. It's unfortunate that the discussion always turn into pro or anti trans by seemingly fundamentalist sides.
