"with the clear implication that male-to-female transgendered athletes should be able to compete as females."
They should. In fact, they have, for over 40 years.

It’s easy to forget that a full four decades before Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner, long before a television show like Pose would be Emmy-nominated, this self-assured and companionable doctor, Renée Richards, is believed to have been the first transgender woman to play a pro sport.

Richards made history when she walked out on to the court of the Forest Hills stadium to play in the 1977 US Open. She was the first transgender woman to play in a professional tennis tournament.

"Should transgendered athletes be able to compete as the gender they "identify" themselves as, or should they be forced to only compete as the gender they were born with?"

Identify as? That one, but it's more like what they transition to. A male can't just say "I'm competing as a female". He has to prove he's worthy by first donating his balls to the cause, in exchange for taking a bunch of female hormones.
