Sure there are individual differences, but males and females are different classes when it comes to athletic performance. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/4vcxd0/almost_all_men_are_stronger_than_almost_all_women/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x The average male is much stronger than the average female. It’s a bell curve, and these difference are more pronounced when you compare the extreme ends of the bell curves, where the athletes reside.

As of a year ago, there have only been 34 WNBA dunks ever (24 by Brittany Griner). Meanwhile, 5’7” Spud Webb dunked over 7’7” Manute Bol.

My mistake. I am familiar with that joke. I just know that I’ve seen a ton of people unironically and seriously saying that it’s ok for males to compete with females because Michael Phelps and LeBron James have physical advantages over other males, too.

ahh, yeah i can see that but was not my intention.. I think its a joke that guys can lose in their division and declare they are women to dominate.

im not aware of any rules that prevent woman from playing in a mens league, it just doesnt happen for obvious biological reasons lol.. cant help but notice these debates are never around trans men. lol

Yeah it’s never about trans men because it’s not about trans, it’s about male advantages. But I think trans men competing against cis women is an even bigger deal if they’re taking testosterone bc they’re literally roided up females. I think there should be a cis woman only league because they’re the only people who haven’t experienced male levels of testosterone which permanently changes the body
