I heard a study before which said that trans women on average had lower testosterone than cis women, so the advantages that a trans woman has over them is rather slim, maybe even nonexistant.
I sadly do not have the link to this study as I heard this info a while ago.
Though I came across a whole lot more studies saying that trans women athletes have higher testosterone levels. Makes sense if they experienced male puberty before and didn’t prevent it using puberty blockers (since the majority of testosterone is created during puberty). Assuming they DID use puberty blockers, they should not have a significant competitive advantage.
