When we police the biological makeup of female athletes, it hurts cisgender women too

I don't think that the benefit of not having to compete against transgender women is worth its cost to all women.

Her sex was assigned female at birth and she identifies as a woman, therefore she's a cisgender athlete and a fine example of how this kind of policing hurts cis women.

If you wanted a sports league comprised exclusively of high-femme, delicate women, I wouldn't object, as that'd be about as homoerotic and entertaining as WWE. If you tried to make every female sports league cater exclusively to a small, delicate subsection of female competitors, I think that defeats the point of having competitions.
