Take all the hormone pills you want, lower the testosterone levels and  even post-op these traits never disappear;

Men naturally have a larger bone structure, higher bone density, stronger connective tissue and higher muscle density than women.

This is purely a biological stance. 
In all other areas of life, yes protection is important. Such as work, marriage etc. No issues with any of that. 

Hormone therapy for trans women has shown to decrease bone density and increase fat mass, so it's false to say that hormone therapy does not change those traits. Scientists have also argued that retaining a larger bone structure while decreasing muscle density can be a disadvantage in many sports. 

There's no scientific consensus and results will always vary based on the individual and the sport, but if we're just looking at the rule, especially given the recent SCOTUS ruling, discrimination on the basis of gender identity is sex based discrimination. The idea that allowing trans athletes is sex based discrimination against cis women is a far bigger leap.
