Sport is a primarily a social activity. Handicapping based on past performance seems like a practical way that trans women can be included in competitive women's sport. If trans women are competing against cis women with the same level of ability, how is that unfair?

I don't think everyone view as mainly a social activity. Proffessional athletes surely would disagre, for example. But anyway, how could you prove what level of handicap is too little or too much? It seems it'd be quite difficult to come to an agreement that will satisfy all parties. There is no lack of trans males who protest the request to lower their levels of testosterone. So, why would they agree to even more handicaps?
