But why would they make such a distinction? If it's a contest for women, all women should be allowed to compete. What does it matter if they are trans or cis?

In this case it's ok (IMO), trans or not, they should be able to participate. But a hill I'm willing to die on is that when it comes to sports, only trans women who got blockers before puberty should be able to participate.

I think (and I'm cis so, shrug) this is a reasonable idea until further testing.

Though we also have evidence from Lia Thomas being about average for prior (cisgender) winners of that event that show even after they don't have a competitive advantage.
