Here are a few sources talking about why that is not really grounded in science, it’s a nuanced issue and depending on the sport and the level of hormone therapy a trans person has gone through because that can determine things that you wouldn’t expect like muscle mass and even bone density/length. On top of that some cis women have naturally more testosterone than average, and we’re seeing some biological women’s eligibility in sports be questioned because of this trans panic. The answer is: it’s just not that simple. Hormones and chromosomes aren’t constant across biological males and females and they aren’t they aren’t a good basis for allowing/preventing certain people to play certain sports.
I generally haven’t kept up with the military since I got out, but women in “combat arms” MOSs were strictly forbidden, like infantry and artillery. Are you asserting that is no longer the case for the US or other militaries?
… that hasn’t been the case since Obama’s second term.

Your argument works if they do not allow any women into the military, which I believe is not the case.
