I was going to say something similar. Testosterone levels don't make beliefs more likely...there are plenty of Female MAGA's.

I have very high natural testosterone; I sit adjacent to the general left right politics; preferring policy that has quality evidence to back it up. Scientifically oriented most of my political ideas land squarely on the "left"; because being good to people generally leads to better outcomes for everyone.

It seems pretty simple to me.

A changeling couple is....a couple. No more labels needed.

First assume the cow is spherical and traveling through a vacuum.

This is a pretty good take, except that the men's division is also protected. Performance enhancing drugs are not allowed, it is not a free-for-all open division.

I don't think anyone thinks the men's and woman's division should be combined because there is no good way to differentiate the difficult place in the middle; this is a classic heap paradox, just because the division between woman and not woman is difficult does not mean it doesn't exist.

Just one example from speed climbing men's WR = 4.74s, woman's WR = 6.06s; the men are 27.8% faster. No one is arguing that men are more dedicated and train more, that they have access to better nutrition or equipment. Men have a natural advantage; combining the divisions would simply mean that no women could possibly get into the top class competition. This maps across ALL sport.

Now imagine they’ve got stocky muscles, spikes, and they want to kill you.

You mean like a pissed off 3yo when you are trying to trim their finger nails.
