Research on this topic has definitively shown that trans athletes do worse in female sports than cis athletes. So. Kind of a close question.
Do you have a source?
With absolutely no research just the one right wing woman swimmer who lost to a trans woman swimmer she "lost" by placing fifth to the fourth place trans woman.
So they both lost to three faster women.
Conservatives playing the victim so hard that they have to extra lose
No trans woman has won an Olympic medal in the women’s category. The closest thing has been Canadian soccer player Quinn, who won as part of the team, rather than solo.
(And they won because our women's team slaps. Get gud, world.)
Tbf, trans women are only a small percentage of all athletes in the women's category. So it's not so weird that none has won yet.
No woman has won an olympic medal in men's category either. That's just a terrible metric.

That sound like bullshit
I mean a 2 second google search lead me to finding out that no trans woman has won an Olympic medal in the women’s category. The closest thing has been Canadian soccer player Quinn, who won as part of the team, rather than solo.
