I read about the people in your first link in a trans-excluding feminist hate blog. It was really interesting stuff though completely hateful. Basically, female is getting narrowly defined by estrogen to the advantage of trans-women and the disadvantage of women with genetic quirks like the ones mentioned in that article.

Male has no analogous definition. We are not declaring men as having too much testosterone or too much estrogen to play. By defining female this way, trans-women that have been trans-women for two years are being allowed to play in women's sports. I didn't think much of this until I saw that this rule is being applied in mixed martial arts where a trans-gender woman has severally injured her most recent opponent. And this nonsense where a 6'4" 52-year-old trans-woman is allowed on a women's college basketball team.

There is also different bone density and different body fat ratio for men and women.
