The biological differences between men and women are too vast to ever have them compete fairly in a competition based solely off of athletic ability. There should be a separate group for trans gender athletes and those who choose to compete against them.

Some transgender athletes take surgeries to change themselves to where it would be fair to compete with cisgender athletes. While it may not be fair if they don't do that, they should have the right to compete against them if they wish, and we shouldn't restrict that ability just because of their gender.

“fair to compete with cisgender athletes”
Technically not, as biologically male swimmers have outpaced the biologically females in the female leagues every time. I mean, if a woman can keep pace with the men, it's one thing. But the other way around, historically and statistically, doesn't work. Perhaps there's a better solution for this, I.E. a third and fourth category for trans males and trans females to level the playing field a little bit?
The sooner we stop denying facts, the faster we can move to equity.
