From this study:

https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-abstract/105/3/e805/5651219?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false

"One year of gender-affirming treatment resulted in robust increases in muscle mass and strength in TM, but modest changes in TW. These findings add new knowledge on the magnitude of changes in muscle function, size, and composition with cross-hormone therapy, which could be relevant when evaluating the transgender eligibility rules for athletic competitions."

That's scientific evidence that after testosterone trans men remain at a disadvantage in men's sports and after estrogen trans women maintain a biological advantage in women's sports. Granted, it's only one data point, but since all you've offered is anecdotes and vitriol it's a pretty big blow to your credibility.

Now is a good time to stop insulting people and start looking for peer reviewed studies that support your position. Maybe the one I read is an outlier. Maybe not. I don't know enough to take a position and insult anyone who questions it, but I like to understand things so I'll keep looking.
