I can’t read all of the article because it’s behind a paywall or whatever, but I would suggest reading some stuff by Erin Reed (Erin in the Morning), specifically this piece which is relevant to your claim. (Note the article was written by a guest and not Erin herself, if you want to)
As with anything that loud transphobes like to scream about, it’s wildly exaggerated. Unfortunately, because they’re so loud, most people see the exaggeration as truth.
I would also look into this study/literature review. It’s been a while since I’ve read it, and it’s late here, so I can’t attest to how good of a study it is. However, the authors do conclude that there’s no real evidence of trans women having any considerable advantage over cis women.

Care to point us to some sources saying they’re breaking world records? I’m having trouble corroborating that.
