    If this was true then cis women would be forced to compete with trans men

    That’s only not happening because trans men are physically unable to compete with cis men (on average). If there were a sport where cis women had a physical advantage over cis men, and trans men tried to join the cis men league, we’d be having the same discussion.

      Wow, I didn’t expect you to make this so easy for me.

      To prove your argument, name one example of a trans man who was required to participate in women’s sports without controversy.

      As counter-argument, here’s a trans man that was forced to compete in women’s wrestling and won two state championships because he wasn’t allowed to compete with men: https://www.thepinknews.com/2021/06/01/trans-wrestling-mack-beggs-texas-sport-changing-the-game-hulu/

      And here’s another article focusing on trans men competing against cis men in sports:
