Do you think it’s unfair for transgender women to compete in the olympics alongside other women, despite the current restrictions imposed on them? Why or why not?

But that's not it.

If you have two athletes in the same weight class box but one is a man and the other a woman then the man has a huge advantage due to hormones.

If you have two athletes in the same weight class box but one is a woman on steroids and the other is not on steroids then the woman on gear has a huge advantage because of hormones.

If you take a person that has had all of the benefits of going through puberty as a male, and make them fight a biological woman the fight will be massively unfair even if the athletes current hormone levels are in the "female range" they still have all the benefits of denser bones etc etc. Just look at how that Australian Trans athlete destroyed competition in female weightlifting a couple of years back.
