Trans athletes at the Olympics are causing disruptions at an industrial scale?

There's been exactly one trans woman in the Olympics, Laurel Hubbards, competing for New Zealand. She won zero medals.

I'm advocating for "there is zero documented evidence this is a problem, the IOC should use their time and energy solving actual problems like doping."

All three medallists in the women's 800m at the 2016 Rio Olympics were male. This was highly controversial, as having three male athletes take gold, silver and bronze in what should have been a celebration of female athletic excellence wasn't exactly a desirable outcome.

Although the headline of the linked article focuses on males with a transgender identity, the purpose of the IOC's new policy is to exclude all male physiological advantage from the female category, including cases like the above.

I'm aware, but those women aren't trans. They have disorders of sexual development, were assigned female at birth.

Laurel Hubbard is trans, was assigned male at birth, and competed under hormone therapy. (Which studies have shown reduces or eliminates the biological male advantage for trans women.)

We can discuss DSD AFAB athletes as well, but I was focused on trans athletes.
