The biological differences between men and women are too vast to ever have them compete fairly in a…
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.

Based on statistical evidence transgender athletes still have male bone density as well as lung capacity which cannot be effect by hormones. Other things such as height and limb length can give these athletes power over biological female athletes. It’s not anything against this community to say that sports should be considered fair between all competitors

Bone density and lung capacity might not be significantly altered by hormone therapy, it's also important to remember that not all advantages in sports are strictly physical. Strategy, skill, and mental toughness play key roles as well. For instance, the legendary basketball player, Muggsy Bogues, stood at just 5'3" but excelled in a sport dominated by much taller players.
Moreover, sports have always had individuals with genetic advantages. For example, swimmer Michael Phelps' wingspan is longer than his height, a trait that gives him an edge in the pool. Should we disallow him from competing because of this advantage?

“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.
