Excuse me for being cynical, but unfortunately I can’t really see these studies changing anything.
There’s no scientific basis to the “trans women have an unfair biological advantage” argument, and its supporters know that. Their arguments are purely hypotheticals and fearmongering.
If you showed this to a Republican lawmaker, they’d whine about it being “a ploy by the cultural Marxists” or something and go back to fucking over minorities.

The studies summarised in this one largely predate the current wave of transphobia, so yeah, that’s a safe bet :\
