      Nowhere in the rules says a woman with a penis can’t play basketball, in fact the rule book is very light on the mention of genitals at all!

          Kinda makes me think of some of the early feminist movements thinking that women would become as large and as strong as men if they where rased the same. Its on paper a fair and equal system but reality just happens to be anything but. Then again just about the same percentage of men as woman make it to that level (near enough to zero to be a rounding error).

            To be fair: Being “raised” differently does change a fair bit. I know a woman who’s a body builder. She’s way, way stronger than me. Male bodybuilders are still stronger than her, but she’s quite a bit stronger than the average man.

            But at professional sports level it all comes down to minute differences, and genetics clearly play a large factor in there.

            Most man are also not genetically fitting for most professional-level sports. I’d even go as far as to say that most professional athletes just fit their sport and are also not fitting for most other sports. A football player and a swimmer are just built very differently.
