    And purely from a competitiveness standpoint, one could argue that a trans girl who hasn’t started any hormone therapy or anything of the sort is, in effect, as physically capable as her male classmates.

    Good thing that has never fucking happened. Every single league that allows trans women to compete with cis women has always required sufficient time on HRT to erase any advantages a male puberty might have brought.
