Oops, you gave it away! Turns out if you make this move you either admit:
That you think people who are biologically male have an advantage in mental only competition
That you want to punish transgender people for transitioning by taking away what they've earned and preventing them from participating in the future.
How completely and utterly shocking, that the trans people in sports "fairness" debate was just a badly put together costume for sexism and transphobia. I tell you, I'm more shocked about this than anything. Definitely.
Well, sometimes it is a physical competition. You can break your leg if you do a hard enough move!
