Now that Laurel Hubbard has failed to win at the Olympics, I guess all the bad-faith nonsense about transgender athletes dominating women's sport will be entirely revised? Right?

Well, I agree with you there. I just think that the fact that she lost doesn't prove the opposite either. I have never heard of Hubbard, but I do know that you can't prove something like that from a single, isolated example.

We could argue, however, that the fact that she is the first trans athlete ever to compete at the Olympics since it was made possible in 2004 says something about whether it is "unfair" or not

That's just a terribly deceptive argument. The discussion is not about any advantage, but an unfair advantage. If we cared about ~any~ advantage we'd be excluding people for all sorts of reasons
