I've heard the same argument from 'whataboutist' rightoids from Reddit when they started bitching about Lia Thomas and people blaming Katey Ledecky, a cis woman, for being trans. Also, this same group loves to bitch about Fallon Fox forget about Patricio Manuel, complain about Nyla Rose and twist the story about Mack Beggs.
If your niece loses then maybe you should teach her to lose gratefully rather than just jumping to blame someone else for her shortcomings no matter their gender, height, weight, natural talents, hormone levels, zodiac sign, etcetera

Should we just abolish women's sport then and have only open competition?

I play women's sports and we're fine. Thanks.

At an elite level? Where it's your source of income? Where you stand to inspire young girls?

If women's sport is opened to biological males, it is only a matter of time until the top level is entirely dominated by biological males. In most physical sports college men regularly beat women's world records. It's just simply not fair.

Yes.
I work like other people.
Coaching and community events.
It's like you don't see women who happen to be trans as women.
Maybe your elementary school understanding of this isn't the best.
