Trans women have been able to compete in the correct categories in the Olympics for several of the games now. I think like one trans woman has, in the weightlifting category in the 2020 games, and she didn't place.

Trans women in sports is not common. That's why a trans swimmer coming in like 3rd in one of the six races she's competing in that day is a weeks-long conservative hate-fest. That's why an individual trans person competing at all is sometimes newsworthy. Often, when suits are filed against school districts because transgender athletes are competing in their proper categories, the suits are filed against like 3 people (and one time they were just using the court system to be shitty to one literal child). Some suits are even dropped, because everyone they're targeting graduates.

The idea of cis men pretending to be trans women to dominate women's sports is a manufactured reason to demonize a handful of specific transgender people and build animosity towards trans people in general.
