Well that's exactly the point. Having a basic understanding of biology will show that limiting testosterone is an inadequate solution, as it doesn't even take into account the cardiovascular, muscular, skeletal etc distinct differences. It's just a hormonal solution (and again, it doesn't take into account the years of testosterone production and metabolisation prior to someone transitioning), or the inherent physical differences between men and women that will exist post transition.Maybe, but that's for science to decide, not by some folks on a forum who claim it's "basic biology".
On top of that, there's debates among scientist about the fact that women could have a superior aerobic fitness so it shows that it's even less "basic biology" and the evidence that you're not qualified at all to claim the issue is simple.
As for the 'science to decide' - that's exactly what's happening and it's why the bodies governing sport are limiting trans participation until there is a better solution, as it is inadequate. Bodies such as World Athletics, World Aquatics, World Rugby, and the Cycling body (I forget the name), to name a few.
