      It’s been demonstrated within equality movements that statistical biological strength corresponding to sex does not always correspond to actual performance.

      Depends heavily on the sport and the quality of coaching. Direct contact sports - football in particular - present real risks to the players when there’s a big disparity in size and strength.

      But then there’s an argument that middle/high school contact sports shouldn’t be allowed to begin with, precisely because of the risk of injury.
