Any difference in likelihood to do certain things are generally due to cultural rather than intrinsic differences.

Like they feel like they see men and women as teo separate groups of people with very clear bright lines of difference between every member and non-misogyny or non-misandry are just thinking those groups are equal to each other. For every common female trait or common male trait there are people of the Opposite Gender who feel that way or have that trait. It is just ineffective to make heavy assumptions about people based on first impressions

The belief that men and women are highly divergent categories is very common and the source of a lot of transphobia.

Thereā€™s an increasing body of evidence that trans women donā€™t have any kind of general advantage in sports. Those who went through androgenizing puberty tend to have differences in things like muscle mass, but itā€™s not all positive. Upper body strength tends to be higher, but they have less lower body strength and usually by a more significant degree. Thereā€™s also some interesting differences in lung capacity and blood oxygenation (trans women who went through androgenizing puberty have higher overall lung capacity, but overall lower blood oxygenation which is the thing that matters). So, itā€™s like there might be some advantages in very specific sports, but very minor overall on average while also having disadvantages in many of them.

Because Iā€™m going to split you into several pieces. At my delta
