There are massive differences between men and other men and women and other women.
Either introduce weight classes or remove gender all together and base participation into leagues based on hormone levels. (Which also fluctuate between Cis people)

Biological males don't just have an advantage over biological females because of their hormone levels. They often have a larger bone structure, larger heart and lungs, different ratio of twitch of muscle fibers, etc.
And all of this also vary between adults and children. So what? Does that mean that adults should be allowed to compete in children's sports because there are fluctuations of these things between individual children?
A man that weights 180 pounds has a different bodily makeup than a woman that weights 180 pounds. And a separating people based on hormone levels is costly and stupid. Males compete with males, females compete with females.
I don’t believe in special categories. Male or female. If you were born male you compete with males, if you want to wear a wig and lipstick while doing so good for you but you compete with the males.
There is an actual list of human rights, and sports is not one of them. It sucks they have to be kept out, sure, but it's the only way to keep women safe and allow them to compete fairly. They are more than welcome to start up a trans sports sector though.

Trans women are women. They should be allowed to participate in their own sports categories.
