So I think the competitive side can be dealt with at the risk of excluding some biologically female athletes who happen to have testosterone levels above the limit.

While I admire the concept, hormone levels are far from the only biological difference in an athletic environment (there are plenty of articles that speak to it more eloquently than I could). And that means we get rid of men's and women's competition and replace them with "above hormone level X" and "below hormone level X". I'm out. That's absurd.
"We are proud to introduce the 2020 Under X Hormone Olympic boxing champion!" No chance.
