Thanks for answering... Personally my thought is that anyone should be allowed to compete in any sport they qualify for... Just add more league levels. Don't have to name them in a hierarchical way. Sort of like heavy weight vs feather weight... The competition is still going to be good because you've divided athletes by ability level, not something as arbitrary as sex or gender assigned at birth. If a woman or trans person can somehow compete with men (assigned at birth) in the NFL, I wanna see that shit. Sure you'd probably just end up with a league full of women, less talented men, and trans people, but at least they'd all be competitive in that league. Shit, maybe if there were some trans women or less skilled men in the "women's" leagues people might actually watch them. Idk... I'm definitely talking out of turn; personally I think organized sports are as bad for society as organized religion.

It's gets super convoluted at that point. Men and women who have switched genders by way of hormones is an easy solution. You can have the same league levels as we do now, not have to make up a whole bunch of new ones, and you keep women's sports for assigned at birth

To be clear, mens sports are usually open sports, they started being called men sports when women had to open up their own, but I think anyone can partake. They don't, because they lose, and it makes it not fun. So open categories aren't an answer. But a hormone competitions are a great one. :)
