Well, getting into the Olympics *before* the 2 year mark after transition would be of some benefit. According to Janet Furman Bowman, her first race as a female was her fastest one as a female. Ever. There was still a bit of advantage so soon after transition, but it was fading away.
Which is why there is a 2 year requirement for the Olympics. If you've been transitioned for 2 years AND qualified, you are fine for the Olympics.
(I'm still in shock over the picture of Tammy Thomas. How long was she doping? Since she was a teenager?)
