No female has natural testosterone levels in the normal male range. While there is a huge overlap in athletic ability between the sexes, the male world records are 10-40% higher than the female world records in almost every physical sport. That’s why we separate sports by sex.

Yeah Shackel was already one of those skeptic assholes who coined the term in a paper dunking on postmodernism
