Sure, just like trans presidents are presidents if they "identify" as presidents. They don't get to give the orders or have the bodyguard though, no matter how much they stamp their feet.

Sure I do. Sex is something real that can be tested, and gender is a thing that only exists in your imagination, like souls.
It seems to me like the problem is one of miscommunication. The word “woman” is being used by different people to mean different things.
One solution is to abandon the word in favor of more specific criteria. If people want an XX-chromosome league, then it sounds to me like an untapped entrepreneurial opportunity.
Such a league would have no records to start with. It would be a wide open field. A great opportunity for aspiring competitors.
I guess, although it's a little demeaning to start being described as an "XX-chromosome-haver" when perfectly good words already exist. A bit like how they are now trying to redefine us all as baby-makers or menstruators or whatever other nonsense.
It can definitely be annoying when language changes. For example, people sometimes use the word “literally” for emphasis. I have come to accept that “literally” now has multiple meanings depending on the literacy of the speaker.
Generally speaking, I find that “is” arguments are unprofitable. People will argue all day about whether some instance classifies as some or other category. E.g. “is a hotdog a sandwich?” or “is taxation theft?”. I have my own opinions, but arguing about it on the Internet is unlikely to yield results.
I find it expedient to simply set aside the contested word(s) and move on to solution-finding, personally.
