Here are several thoughts I have. If you use hormone blocking drugs you need to start before puberty. What child at 10 or 11 year old can decide on gender, something they understand little to nothing about? There is a reason 11and 12 year olds can’t marry, can’t sign contracts, etc. I think this is a bit like the castrato, singers who were cantered before puberty except you are using chemicals instead of a knife, it is cruel. The other point is trans gender males who enter the trans state from male to female only lose 5% of muscle mass and the lung volumes are still above female ranges. It is recommended trans females be tested as males other wise pathological tests for males score as low normal for females. Babies in the uterus are prepped by nature for the sexual role they will play, other wise we would not be able to tell boy babies from female babies.

And transmen are winning against men. Oh no.

A Trans Man Steps Into The Ring – And Wins His Debut As A Professional Boxer
After an injury forced Patricio Manuel to withdraw from the women's Olympic boxing trials, the fighter faced a reckoning. He decided to start living publicly as a man — and rebuild his boxing career.

I have to disagree with you. I have seen plenty of women who could and have beat up men.
When it comes to the case you cited, Manuel was already distinguished enough in boxing that (s)he was an Olympic contender as a woman while his opponent (that he fought as a trans male) had 1 win in 8 matches. That isn't anything to brag about.
As for the argument about trans women having a biological advantage over cis women, that isn't in dispute.

MSG (Join to see) - I know plenty of transmen and women who can beat up men. Like I said, the big stinks only come up when transwomen win and never when they lose.

I agree. With Trans Men, facing a CIS man of similar size, weight, and training, the cis man is favored to win due to biology.
As for trans women, they are favored to win over cis women for the same reason. I can find plenty of news stories of trans women who beat cis women at sports events such as High School and relatively few where trans women did not win.
The news stories include cis women who were seriously injured during their sports events with trans women.
