You understand that the reason for that design difference is testosterone, right?

This is why the NCAA rules require the hormone therapy.

They should all just compete against each other where all the elite women will lose to all the elite men. I don't think anyone wants that to happen. If you are going to have sperate sports for men and women you have o have some way to draw the line.
And we do, which is the rules like the NCAA. If you live life as a man, you compete with the men. You live life as a woman, you compete with the women. If you are trans, then you must have been on hormone therapy for at least a year to compete in your gender's field of competition. Seems like a pretty clear line.
