If boys are faster than elite female athletes, should males compete in female athletics?

See how the best high school boys stack up against the best female Olympians and World Record holders in Track & Field and Swimming.

@mara_yamauchi @runthinkwrite Basically, they recognize women need a sex separated sport but it’s more important to include male biology into our sport even if it’s not fair because we shouldn’t assume it’s not fair even though the studies show it’s not fair because you’re women and it really doesn’t matter
