Yeah, that’s why I hate it when trans people say: "I don’t care about sports. There are more important topics that we should focus on." Because what chuds are trying to do is basically taking the lead over the narrative. They are trying to play with society’s prejudices to establish false facts about trans people’s bodies in order to legitimize all kinds of discrimination. And sports are pretty much the easiest way for them to set a precendent that allows them to put their foot in the door.
If they can successfully convince the majority of the population that men’s and women’s bodies are fundamentally different and that hormones after puberty have basically no effect, they can, as you said, declare that trans women and men are never going to be "real/biological males/females", which allows them to take this whole argument further to other aspects of trans people’s lives like the whole bathroom hysteria, medical treatment, legal recognition, etc.
Yeah, they were able to do it because pretty much the entire media landscape went full "Der Stürmer" on trans people and let TERFs spread around their garbage while at the same time not letting trans people counter those accusations. Thus creating the impression that discriminating against trans people is just common sense, which lead to things like the HRT ban for trans teenagers and the failed GRA reform.
