That's the title of the Washington Post article. Isn't your problem with them?

The Biden administration on Thursday proposed new regulations that would allow schools to bar transgender athletes from participating in competitive high school and college sports, but disallow blanket banson the athletes that have been approved across the country.

so basically

To be clear, the legislation proposed would prevent/reverse statewide bans on trans athletes competing on the team of their choice. Instead, it requires schools that want to limit trans athletes to one team or the other to justify this with an objective like competitive integrity. This means you can't ban trans women from playing on the girls' team in a league that places everyone on a team and has them play regardless of skill level, for example, but a school could enact such a ban for a team that plays in a competitive league, under the grounds that increased testosterone levels would be an unfair advantage. (But then that same argument would not fly for making a trans man play with girls.)

With no legislation passed here, existing laws in red states would just force trans students to play with people of their birth sex regardless of other factors.

It reminds me a bit of DADT. Not a great law but better than what we were currently doing at the time.

if there is an inherent competitive edge of trans athletes who identify as female why not let them compete with males?

They should get rid of the gendered sports teams. Separate but equal is not equal.
