Given enough time, with enough estrogen shots And testosterone suppression, that advantage disappears. We know that as a fact. What we don't know is the exact numbers and thresholds.

If this is all about physical advantage rather than the politics or sociology of gender, that's the only part that matters. It's a question of how much testosterone over what period of time should be alowed in women's sports, not whether transgendered women should be able to compete in women's sports per se.

Iow, biology is a science unto itself and it's not a field where you can establish facts by thinking about them. You'll need to get your hands dirty and obtain actual facts and numbers. As far as I know there is no established, reliable fact on that question right now.
