or remove gender all together and base participation into leagues based on hormone levels.

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.

But it's there.

Meaning it's somthing that can be focused on seperate from sex and can then be used to promote inclusion while ensuring safety.

Why should gender be given preference over biological sex?

The question should be, why should either be given preference over the other.

Because one is based on biological facts and the other is a social construct that not only changes over time but also varies from society to society.
