In the real world, it doesn't even cause a real fairness issue. The Olympics started allowing trans competitors in the 90s, but there's never been a trans medal winner. If there was a real advantage, then you'd expect the best person at some sports in some counties to be trans, so there to be trans athletes competing, and their advantage to put them on the podium. You'd also potentially expect some countries to pad their team with trans people to get more medals. This hasn't happened.
