transwomen who are taking female hormones/estrogen experience a decrease in muscle mass, among other things,

Just because they experience a decrease does not automatically mean the decrease is sufficient to even the metaphorical playing field. For example, the International Association of Athletics Federations currently requires female competitors with high testosterone to get their serum T levels below 5 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) for at least six months prior to competition. However, most AFAB competitors have testosterone levels ranging from 1.12 to 1.79 nmol/L. So the regulations currently allow transwomen competitors to have serum T levels approximately three times as high as the average AFAB competitor.

The real question is: does having three times the testosterone in one's system truly give said person a measurable advantage over their competitors? Right now, the answer to that question is inconclusive.

Males also, on average, have larger hearts and lungs that females, and that remains true for transwomen who have transitioned. But again, more needs to be done to determine whether such factors give one competitor a measurable advantage over the others.

Do you have ANY data at all that says transwomen competitors DO have higher serum T levels on average, or do they in fact follow exactly the same rules and regulations as the cis women when it comes to hormone levels and therefore it's not an issue?

But yes, the answer is inconclusive, and already women (cis and trans) are punished for it, so what's the point of arguing it?
