There are all sorts of things that individuals have that give them a competitive advantage that we don't disqualify them for. There are biological women with conditions that causes elevated testosterone. There are athletes with conditions that reduces the amount of oxygen their bodies need, which allows them to have longer stamina. Unless we were to eliminate people with those conditions from competition, I don't see a justifiable reason for disqualifying a trans person undergoing hormone therapy from competition.

Athletics are divided up by sex.  It's based purely on physical traits.  It can't be both ways.  If gender and sex are different, then gender is irrelevant here.
