I do not understand the obsession with genitals. Clearly if someone is harassing another person - regardless of what genitalia they have - that conduct should never be acceptable. Persons with penises can harass other persons with penises, and people without them. Same for those with vaginas. Whichever locker room someone is in, is not going to change predatory behavior. People can always choose to change in private stalls if they so choose.
This said I do have a problem with persons who were born with XY chromosomes competing against people of XX chromosomes. You cannot tell me it would be a fair match between Katie Ledecky and Michael Phelps if he transitions into Michaela Phelps, for example. No. Full stop.

In your first paragraph, you’re asking logic of the illogical, which is why your search will be probably be fruitless. People obsessed with genitalia under the guise of “protecting the kids” are fucked in the head.
Your second paragraph links at least three separate discussions and advances three off-putting conclusions
-
you seem to hand-wavingly suggest that transition hormones or chemicals would clearly confer an athletic advantage: [citation needed]
-
you suggest someone would transition solely or principally the purpose of competing in a sport. Putting aside how offensive this could be to all concerned, how do you propose to test someone’s authenticity of transition? It’s rhetorical, you’re not qualified, and neither is anyone’s coach or judging official
-
asking a sporting event or organization to dole out fairness on society’s behalf is too much. It’s a helluva corrupt forum.
