>Whether or not there are humane, ethical ways of sufficiently neutralizing that advantage is another question, and possibly even one that can be answered to the satisfaction of most people. But it's honestly myopic, sexist bullshit to try to act like it shouldn't be an issue of concern for female pro athletes.

And what's your stance on cis female pro athletes being targeted for their supposed unfair natural advantages over other cis women? Born and raised as women but banned because their testosterone levels are too high? Literally forced to take medically invasive tests and/or put on drugs to adjust their natural hormone levels to something "acceptable"? Do we care about those women or nah?

There's also an excellent video by YouTuber Shaun where he presents a study that posits some selectivity in our evolutionary history which could contribute to these so-called "inherent biological differences." This hypothesis is also presented in Heart of Maleness, a book by Raphaël Liogier and goes as follows — that women have received less nutrition and training than men for thousands of years, because men were usually the hunters and took most of the spoils for themselves. In Liogier's book, an additional facet arises in the form of how women have been objectified in history to conform to ideas of beauty and desirability. So there's that.

Shaun's video about the topic is called "Paul Joseph Watson is Wrong About: Sports" and is 18 minutes long, and Heart of Maleness is 100 pages. For the people in the comments who are interested in doing research, hah.
