There is no difference between cis girls and trans girls athletically if they take hormone blockers and hrt. Why shouldn’t they get to play?

There are huge differences, hormones are just small part of them. With same weight and height transwomen would have bigger lunghs size, heart size, faster metabolism, different pelvic structure, different walking muscles and bones positions, faster blood and muscle oxynization, bigger percentage of muscles, wider muscle fibers, and so on. Hormones are just small part of it, and even with it - testosterone chances are irreversable. Of course, transwomen are starting to lose some advantages with hormones and cross-sex hormones, but they still have huge advantages over females. Every single modern research with big sample size and which is peer reviewed is showing this. Don't deny biology - this looks ridiculous.

Sources for your insistence that males who eat estrogen are identical to girls.

I’m asking for sources that they do, not making any assertion to back up.

But here’s one to start you off since I’m nice.

good old simple Wikipedia so you can peruse sources at your leisure

The newest ones, specifically were testing transwomen and not just "males":

And there were more, like World's Rugby research, USA Military multiple researches, and so on.

That if you need specifically transwomen. In general there a lot of researches about differences in people born male and people born female in general.

And lets not forget small details like - every year up to 500 boys pre-18 are beating all-time female recrods in running.
