Anyone, at any age, should be able to choose their own hormone profile. The medical control should be informed consent. This is not something that is appropriately controlled by having a set of particular disorders with particular prescriptive therapies, though that is the current (bad; failing) standard of care.

I wish all involved would perceive that trans peoples' sporting category is going to be a case by case basis for the foreseeable future.

I am a beginning kendo player who transitioned well after puberty. I have a longer reach than almost all cis women. My endurance sucks but that's due to being out of shape. I use a men's weight sword and if I ever compete for kicks, I will be in the men's division. It is an obvious choice and there are far more important hills to die on, like making sure I have a place to change while respecting the modesty of all involved.

I am sure a pre-puberty or early-puberty transitioning trans woman will eventually fit very neatly into the women's division. Me not pitching a fit about the facts of my case, helps their case when it comes up.
