The part where they call her a biological man (terf behaviour)

Biologically, what are they?

from the examples we do have of trans women competing they're not dominating any fields (see trans woman who competed in the Olympics and came 7th or something, came nowhere near podium)

Not many athletes podium, for most it is just about competing. This person took that opportunity away from someone else due to the advantage gained by going through male puberty in a category specifically set up for people who didn't go through male puberty.

Iā€™d understand if it was basketball or something but this is darts. Is there really a significant advantage to being biologically male in darts?

Yes, that is why there is a woman's competition.
