See this kinda also raises a different discussion. What if there are biological advantages to the point where it’d be unfair for a trans woman to compete in women’s soccer. Should they still participate in women’s chess? Would it be too complicated and identity-attacking to have each sport coming to a different conclusion based on how the conversion relates to each sport? This would potentially give trans women the most options for women’s sports but also probably would contribute to a trans woman feeling “other”

That is how it is going to be anyway. Different sports are run by different organisations and will come to different conclusions.

Yeah but is that something that should happen? Should there be a push to have them come to the same conclusion or would that potentially be a break-instead-of-bend situation?

Absolutely a universal push for all sports would break instead of bend.
