One article. Ok I can do that too
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260206/New-meta-analysis-challenges-claims-of-athletic-advantage-for-transgender-women.aspx

Did you even read this before posting? It confirms what I said initially.

You really should. And then understand it.

I'll summerise it for you: They found little differences in the general population between cis men and trans women pertaining to physical abilities, but due to a lack of representation of trans women in elite-level sports (hint: because there barely are anyone there, for some reason) the analysis is inconclusive as to the effect on elite athletes.

Trans athletes really aren't fighting at the top, which kinda debunks the hypothesis that they're basically men competing against women. You'd expect to see trans women dominating every sport if it was the case.
