Here is an animated video on how sex screening in sports would work to protect female competition. This is what should happen for all serious adult sports competition contexts where there is sufficient money to provide the needed funding. It is a simple, irrefutable, fact that people gain a set of physical advantages that have a significant degree of relevance for many sports competition contexts as a result of androgenization relative to people who have not undergone androgenization. Androgenization begins in the womb and continues through childhood but these advantages mostly manifest during puberty. Acknowledging that trans-women as a group are in some respects different from women who are not trans and that trans-men are collectively to some extent different from men who are not trans does not sanction invidious discrimination against trans people nor endorse any false, negative over-generalizations regarding trans people.
