There are many studies you can point to for either argument, though to go study vs study is to get nowhere; ask yourself why you would think women have to have a division in the first place.
Ask yourself, now, why you believe a transperson, someone who likely has undergone hormonal procedures, should not be included in the division of their gender.
I encourage you to say as you think. Lets not tiptoe around the blatant sexism and phobia rooted in the opposition to this belief. This is, at the end of the day, an issue with the way which things in the sports world are handled and classified rather than an issue with individuals.

They should not be allowed to play in opposite leagues. For example a big muscular testoterone blasted sigma male became transgender and then played girls basketball it would be a joke and they would dominate. No trans should mix or be alive.

Transitioning from one gender to another involves hormone therapy, which significantly alters the body's physical characteristics. A male-to-female transgender athlete undergoes estrogen therapy, reducing muscle mass and strength, and bringing them to a level comparable to cisgender women athletes. It's not as simple as a "big muscular testosterone blasted sigma male" playing girls basketball.
Moreover, the statement "no trans should mix or be alive" is quite harsh and promotes intolerance. Remember, every individual has the right to live and express their identity freely. We should promote discussions that foster understanding and acceptance, and avoid promoting hatred or discrimination.
