At some point we need to stop and realise that some problems just don’t have a solution that is going to please everybody. In this case there is an option to annihilate hopes and dreams of either transgender athletes, or women. Both options suck, but the second one affects disproportionately more people.

How many minorities are you willing to apply this to? And in how many areas of life and society?

Very few, I'd even say that I have no other example in mind at the moment. I'm not saying that we should not strive to find the most equal way of solving all problems, just that some just don't have a good answer. These should go by the way of least damage.

Sounds like you are willing to apply it to non-trans women?
