Human biology is binary in terms of gametes.
Gametes are intrinsically linked to hormones and human development.
It makes sense to separate leagues in terms of natural, general groups like women/men.
Why not separate competitors by the physical abilities that matter in their sport, rather than by genitals? We already do this partially within some sports, such as with the different weight classes in boxing. And of course it is routine in school sports to separate athletes by age so that the smaller, less experienced kids don't get totally whomped on.
Besides dealing with the transgender issue, it would also provide more competitive and challenging and fun sports for many non-transgender kids that currently do not get that, either because they are on the smaller/lighter/weaker side of the boy's bell curve and can't get on the team (and would get creamed if they did), or because they are on the taller/heavier/stronger side of girl's bell curve and aren't really challenged on the current girl's team.
