The fact that there are already multiple clear real-world examples of this across multiple sports, whilst in your own words, "there are so few trans people and such little participation from trans people in professional sport", is actually proof of what you're denying. If participation is low then the number of examples of trans competitors in upper tiers must be disproportionate to scale, and thus is evidence of biological advantage for some trans individuals, even if "most trans people" don't have that advantage. That's how professional competition works.

But there aren’t an abundance of trans women dominating women’s sports.

I mean, there has been one trans Olympic gold medalist, Quinn, who was born female.

Transgender women performed worse than cisgender women in tests measuring lung function

Transgender women had a higher percentage of fat mass, lower fat-free mass, and weaker handgrip strength compared to cisgender men

Transgender women’s bone density was found to be equivalent to that of cisgender women, which is linked to muscle strength

There were no meaningful differences found between the two groups’ hemoglobin profiles (a key factor in athletic performance)
