There is no good evidence that transgender women who have been on GAHT for two years have any physical advantages over cisgender women. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/3/198
And here are two sources which state differently;

https://www.dw.com/en/do-trans-women-have-an-unfair-athletic-advantage/a-58583988
Who is correct?
The first link does not conclude what you state. From the conclusion, “The exclusion of trans individuals also insults the skill and athleticism of both cis and trans athletes. While sex differences do develop following puberty, many of the sex differences are reduced, if not erased, over time by gender affirming hormone therapy.”
The use of the words many, reduced and over time are all doing some heavy lifting if you want to use that statement to support the comment I replied to.
So, what about the second link?
And to be clear, I was just trying to point out that one link doesn't give a consensus of accepted thought and there appears not to be that consensus.
