There's essentially no sports where women can compete on the same level as men. The differences go beyond strength.

For a man and woman the same weight: Men have stronger bones, much higher oxygen capacity, faster reaction time, better motion tracking, higher fatigue tolerance, better aerobic endurance, higher pain threshold.

An interesting development would be co-ed professional sports with teams that have a fixed number of men and women. I think this is the best we could hope for as far as equality in sports

But you end up back in the same position. You have a 5 person team requirement, 3 men and 2 women. Where do you put trans?
In the gender that the transitioning person identifies with.
