Yet there is this..

"Males have larger skeletal size and bone mass than females, despite comparable body size"
Males have larger skeletal size and bone mass than females, despite comparable body size - PubMed.

And..

On average, muscle mass in men was 36% greater than in women.
https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/jappl.2000.89.1.81#:~:text=Our findings indicate that there,36% greater than in women.

And..

Maturation of the airways and lungs continues through childhood and into adolescence during which time, for the most part, males continue to have larger lungs than females.

It's all about sex: male-female differences in lung development and disease.



Are there still phrenology people out there?

The mind can make believe many things. Why is that shocking?
Like religion, for example?

Okay. I give up. People may only be what their phsyical bodies are. You admit of no spirit, no soul that is separate from the physical body. Have it your way. I get sick of arguing with people who know everything and therefore have no need of compassion or empathy for others.

You do realize that Lia Thomas's best performances in women's categories are further off the women's records (held by cis women, BTW) than she was off the men's records when she competed in the men's categories, right?
So? The best females are frequently better than a lot of males. That's not the issue. The issue is whether she has an advantage other than that achievable through training and ability, an advantage gained from having transitiioned from one gender to another.

The question of whether she has an advantage at all isn't relevant to whether her advantage is unfair?

Every NCAA Division I athlete has advantages other than achievable through training and ability.
