they temporarily retain a advantage over cis women. It's a sucky situation for everyone.

Uh, no males who ID as trans do not "temporarily retain an advantage" over females. They retain many permanent advantages. The physical advantages male people have over female people that matter in sports can't be reversed or eliminated no matter how much estrogen they take and no matter how low they get their testosterone. The male advantages remain even if they remove their testicles entirely.

I really don't know how to resolve this issue. An outright ban would be devastating to the many trans athletes who compete on a level playing field

Please provide evidence - links to scientific research - showing that male "trans athletes" who have invaded female sports "compete on a level playing field."

No one is saying ban TIMs from sports. They are perfectly free to participate and compete - with and against members of their own sex.

Also, please on this sub don't call girls and women "cis." Many of us consider it an extremely offensive slur. Thanks.
