You can see this any time a trans woman dares to participate in a combat sport. Bigots have dialed in the art of posing dramatically for the camera when they get popped one by a trans woman, even though cis women give each other the exact same injuries all the time due to the fact they are willingly participating in a combat sport. An injury isn't magically worse because someone whose genitals you made assumptions about gave it to you.

And as the inverse of this, trans men in combat sports often have their cis men competitors refuse to fight them under the guise of 'not hitting women'. Even though trans men have also gone through testosterone based puberty, the thing that according to them also makes trans women fit only for the men's competitions.

This whole shitshow not making any logical sense isn't an accident, it's a cultural/political choice and not one based in reason or science. The point is 'don't be trans', anyone arguing otherwise is a rube or a con artist.
