Yeah, he's doing that and you're right about his case not being as controversial for obvious reason. No woman transitioning into men is going to be dominating any male category and I think that's also shows how the sex differences can't be breached by the hormone therapy.Yes, because he hasn't started on hormones yet. Obviously as soon as he does he won't be allowed anymore. When he does he'll start competing with men given that he's allowed, which is much less controversial for obvious reasons. Trans women would effectively be banned, not trans men.
So a man transitioning into a woman is going to be a problem even if he's not winning by this perception of her performing at a higher level thanks to her biology. Then a woman transitioning into a man is going to be handicapped even with the hormone therapy when competing against biological men. The former is a problem for the rest of the competition, the female athletes, and the latter is still and unfair situation but just for the transitioning athlete but isn't perceived as unfair for the competition itself.
