I was curious about this and looked it up, and on a quick glance it looked like archery was not equal and male categories had stronger world records.

For cultural reasons. There is no technical reason a man should have an advantage over a woman in Archery. Its just the effect of it being male-dominated for so long. I thought about mentioning that but figured it was too much.

Anyway the whole conversation is pointless because A) there are already measures in place for your concerns that work fine, B) a transgender woman whos never been through a testosterone puberty would have no advantage so the youth sport thing is nonsense, C) advantages only exist at a very high level with some people in some sports so obviously blanket bans make no sense and D) there are almost no transgender athletes at those levels to begin with. Also lets not forget that this began with literal genital inspections. Not exactly relevant to performance is it?
