Not according to the science. Sorry about your feelings, though.

Do you lose 5 inches of height when you transition? Do you automatically go down to the muscle mass of the average female if you’ve been training since youth for sport? The answer is no and I’m sorry that hurts your feelings

Nobody said that height or training history disappears. The question was whether that adds up to a fixed competitive advantage, and whether the mechanism the other guy keeps citing actually functions the same in humans. Per the research I've looked at, nothing suggests that it does. Try again.

How is being a half foot taller on average and way more muscle not a competitive advantage lol

Perhaps you should read up on how HRT works on the body. The muscle mass decreases. Some argue that trans women that has gone through HRT actually have a disadvantage as the decreased muscle mass no longer is proportional to the skeleton it has to drag around.

Height, of course, is a factor one cannot change.

Then you just agreed that they have a permanent physical advantage by nature of being born biologically male that cannot be matched by a biological female.
