This exactly.
Imagine training since middle school to make the state championship, only to be smoked by a trans-female who was a middling male sprinter the year before.
CT is one of a dozen states that allows sports participation by identity. Others are more stringent, such as Texas which goes by sex on original birth certificate.
The track careers of those young women are by no means over, just temporarily hobbled until they get to the college ranks.
Personally, I would go identity and a hormone level test. Both must match readily accept norms to participate as a certain sex.
