I feel like we're being asked to account for the effect of a mysterious substance called Penisium. Well, if you've got some of that, bring it to the fuckin key and lets take a look?
I'm talking about in sports, in particular the UFC. The penis and balls are actually a disadvantage in themselves because they're a tender part of the body on the outside that easily get injured.
There's nothing mysterious about the other advantages a man has. It was in fact documented in the last article about transgender women, the doctor said that bone density and strength are an advantage in fighting, and that once a transgender woman has various hormone changes she will eventually have the same bone density and muscle mass as a woman, after it has decreased from what it used to be when the person had the body of a man, giving them less of an advantage than other men. You even wrote about this in your last post.

Quote:Presumably, any advantage conferred by testosterone or bone density would reflect itself in stats
It does, that's why men usually run faster, lift heavier, are taller, and with less body fat. It's also why boosting the body with steroids and growth hormones isn't allowed in most sports.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
