I understand a transgender's pain and transition. I know two women that are transitioning and becoming men. One of them has even had her mastectomies and is waiting for surgery to create a penis.
I don't understand letting two physically stronger transgender sprinters compete against highschool girls
I also don't like that some random guy can now say that that he identifies as a female and goes in and showers and dresses in a woman's dressing room
This is an interesting quandry only in the sense that there should be an easy answer to this which is to continue to divide people by biological advantage.
The quandry is that in the realm of political correctness, women sports authorities are all nervous to stand up and state the obvious....lest they be publically condemned and quite possibly protested until they're out of a job.
This is nothing negative against trans people but just the spirit of competitive fairness that established those guidelines in the first place.
People may mentally feel they are the other gender, seek surgery to change that, identify etc. which frankly is their business and I fully support them.
That does not change how they were physically endowed at birth.

Agree. Biological males, even those taking hormones to suppress testosterone, still have a big physical advantage over girls. The results of the race speak to it.
I was involved in a sport in my younger days, and I was pretty good at it. I started at 8, and by the time I was 14, I was usually coming in second or third more times than not. It would have been terribly unfair if, at age 14, I all of a sudden had to compete with biological boys (who quicky would have beaten me).
Very unfair to girls who have trained for years to suddenly have to face this unfair competition.
