Would it, though? I didnt get to read the full article, but it seems like the problem is they think she would have an advantage because of maybe being a trans woman who was a man before. So, because of gender. So, of thats correct and her past/present gender is/was the issue, wouldn't that mean that mixing the genders would actually get rid of the problem... And actually change the situation. Thats what I can gather from the little I was able to read...

Yes. The women wouldn't be playing in the NFL even as a third string. There will always be a male that is stronger due to simple biology. Doesn't mean that those women who would attempt to get in would be weak.

Depends more on the position they are playing then anything else. Yea you are not going to see a lot of women lineman or fullbacks. But receivers, quarterbacks, and kickers? I could see quite a few of them getting in.

I think youre greatly underestimating the physical differences between men and women and just how much of an impact those differences make in sports at the professional level. The most skilled and co-ordinated woman in the world would probably never make quarterback because even if she could spot receivers faster than anybody else and put the ball exactly where she wants to 100% of the time, the passes will be slower (and would constantly be picked off) and her overall range is going to be significantly less than what a male athlete could accomplish, so her team would be limited to shorter passes and plays which not only limits their potential, but makes them predictable as well.
Not to mention that she would probably have a lower bone density than male athletes and would likely face more serious injuries if she were to get hit, as quarterbacks tend to be.
(This is all without the real world implications of normalizing violence against women, which this would unfortunately do, even it is just in a sports setting).
