Ah ok, which is no surprise judging by the OP.

I'm fine with it too, but it's also important to not "hard couple" these two topics. They are related, but not strongly related in my book. You can support Trans rights and advocate for fairness in sports. The OP is making it an "all or nothing" proposition (and choosing nothing).
Anyway, on the fairness in sports side of things. This is where I think it will work itself out eventually. If trans women do have an advantage (let's just assume that is true), it will show itself out in sports (I believe there are cases where this has been shown already, but that's besides the point). I'm sure sports governing bodies will adjust, since this would present an unfair advantage to biological women.
As I said, adjustments will likely come, if the above is true. This is separate from rights, which I think... hopefully... most of us support.
I can think of 11780 reasons Trump shouldn't be president ever again.
