You're stating conclusions without providing any reasons. Simply saying, "it's wrong because it's wrong" isn't an argument. Again, there is no scientific proof *as of yet* that transitioning males after a year have an advantage.
But can they lift more weight than their male counterparts? No.There's not even compelling evidence that simply being 'stronger' or having 'more testosterone' (Something that isn't even true for male to every female, it's an overlapping graph) makes you better at sport, even most sports. There are various other body composition things that may actually benefit more traditionally female athletes. "Male" and "Female" or just not clearly separate enough categories to really justify banning people who don't match at birth.
This study found women weightlifters actually had more fast-twitch muscles for instance.
"Researchers at Cal State Fullerton conducted an interesting study. When assessing muscle fibers taken from 21 weightlifters who were divided into three groups: World/Olympic class females (6) National Class Females (9) National Class males (6) and what they found was the women had far more fast-twitch muscles than seen in male weightlifters. The elite female weightlifters had a higher concentration of fast-twitch muscle fibers than ever recorded for any elite athlete, man or woman, in any sport."
