The article makes the distinction between transgender athletes being on two years on supression or less. While you are right that there is a developmental advantage (which is why men are tested out of competition too), I am sure you don't have the experience of being without natural testosterone for a prolonged period either (I do due to testicular tumours: 6 months until I started TRT): you might not lose muscles outright, but even for those that remain, they put too much stress on your joints and the rest of your body (a couple of tennis sessions, and I had plantar fasciitis, only recovering shortly after starting TRT). I don't think I'd ever be able to fairly compete with men regardless of being a pretty strong, sporty male beforehand. (Without TRT ofc: testosterone replacement therapy mostly covers that, though it could also be used to my advantage if I train hard 1-3 weeks after administration when it's at peak levels which are above the normal range until it goes down to the low end at 10-11 weeks, but that also means that I've got 4 weeks when training wouldn't be very effective)
