Why not? If someone has transitioned or is transitioning, they are on hormones to help them make that transition physically from point A to point B. For M to F, that translates to less testosterone and more estrogen as well as anti-androgens.

Here is a link about the Feminization Regimen that may help clear up some questions.

At that time, the penis and testicles would be irrelevant to the competition at hand. Meaning, they give the person no advantage. That's what I assume you are having an issue with; a perceived advantage that the transitioned/ing person would have. Correct?

If anything, they could be a hindrance to the person, given that the outside would still not match the inside and that can really take a toll. We are all affected by physical things on a mental and emotional level. Everyone. That's even more so for athletes, especially high performance and high level ones.
