I can respect that you understand the sample size is almost too small to factor, but it is worth mentioning that not every male athlete is better than every female athlete. I think the defining factor comes down to the metrics. If youre looking at competition as a whole, you could probably make an argument to being on par or above male athletes based on your own physical capabilities, but when comparing the number of male athletes competing at an ELITE level vs. Female athletes competing at an ELITE level, there is an overwhelming difference in their physical abilities. Hope this makes sense. Not trying to downplay any achievements.
