People love to claim that trans/nb players have a "biological advantage," but KRU lost to G2, MIBR srN & Jelly didn't dominate against GX, and FLY evv & Starbound lost to XIP.
Only Florescent gets hate because SR is so successful, and she's a good player. You can't say that she's only good because she's trans when other trans/nb players don't see the same level of success as her.

Trans Unfair Advantage

You have to factor in the amount of male vs female CS players and how far they push themselves. All the CS kid prodigies spawn with atleast 10k hrs by age 16, meanwhile most female CS pros have yet to hit that amount at ages 23-24. They need to push themselves harder at an earlier age to get better results, and also look to play outside of fe only teams, but that seems easier said than done, as the only name that comes to mind is GFi, and shes close to 40 by now.
If you accept the premise of GC, which is that certain 'genders' are marginalized and therefore require separate competition, then living a considerable portion of your life as a non-marginalized gender would be an unfair advantage.
But the reality is that GC is just a t4 league and flor is better than t4. Nothing to do with an inherent advantage.
I'm not too sure if there is science-based evidence that female esports players are worse than male esports players but I hate it when people say I support X team because they have no trans players. That is the literal definition of Transphobia. It's like saying I support X NBA team because they have less black players. Like why is this normal??
To determine if there’s a biological advantage you need to look at the representation of trans players relative to the overall population of bio women within Valorant.
It's like if you had said that people above 5 foot 3 are generally better at valorant than compared with people under 5 foot 3, this is a stupid argument if you're just looking at who is seen doing well in gc. 5 foot 3 people may be proportionally better as if only 5% of val pop is below 5 foot 3 but in pro play 10% of players are below 5 foot 3 then there is a potential chance for there to be biological advantages.
I don't necessarily disagree with you but your generalising the success of all trans people off cherry picked data and you have a lack of understanding of proportional statistics.
