@maggieburkart907 1) At the adult level, hormone therapy is usually insufficient to compensate for the advantage of having been biologically male. Hormones do not change your height, the size of your hands, the width of your chest, the size of your head, the shape of your hips, etc. It's also unclear that hormones compensate for previous exposure to high levels of testosterone or 'muscle memory' advantages
For example, a man who abused testosterone (steroids) for many years and then quit, may experience a reduction in testosterone levels, however he will retain a long term advantage over men who did not abuse steroids and may have a higher testosterone level than him due to additional myonuclei created during the period of heightened test levels in his past.
2) I think the argument is that at the school level scholarships and other opportunities are tied to athletic performance. For example, a student athlete is much more likely to be accepted into an ivy league college.
To be clear, I am not advocating for excluding trans people from participating with their identified gender. And I do believe that most of the people trying to stop this are either bigoted or using this topic as a wedge issue to push forward their own radical regressive agendas.
However, past all the politics there are some serious issues that need to be considered and discussed.
