Should I be banned from women’s sports? I mean I’ve been through a male puberty which according to your criteria would seem to make it an immediate no, but I’m also 5’6 and for various reasons likely have a lower than average bone density. Would I be competing with an ‘unfair advantage’?
At a competitive, high level. Yes. Recreational sports? Children’s sports? Just for fun sports? Of course not.
Professional? Yes. You should not be allowed to compete in the women’s division, due to the fact that you went through puberty as a male. In my opinion.
No, that’s not the question. And I think all of you are missing that point.
The question is what are the rules? And the rules are you need to be born a female and have had gone through puberty as a female to be eligible to compete in a females division of sports, because that’s what the rules are. For everyone.

You can’t just appeal to the rules in defence of those same rules
