Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play.

Note: I know very little about sports and being on a sports team, so please point out anything that doesn’t make sense.

    Shouldn’t a woman and a man with the same height, weight, and body-muscle percentage be basically identical in terms of athleticism or am I wrong?

      Nope, testosterone is a hell of a drug. There is a reason women dope with it.

          All a drug is a chemical substance when administered to a living organism, produces a biological effect.

          Hormones are just naturally produced chemical substance. As soon as you dope with it is becomes a drug.

      Skeletal structure and muscle connection make a huge difference in leverage and speed.

      To add to other replies I also think that its much harder for women to develop muscles. (Just what I think I observed, coukd be wrong)

        “Explosive upper body strength” specifically. Men have wider shoulders and more chest/back/shoulder muscles.

        Women have to work twice as hard for half the results.
