WRONG! This is a factual lie. You cannot see someone’s DNA. FURTHER, DNA is scientifically proven to be unfixed. There is vast variation in DNA among humans. XX and XY are scientifically proven NOT to be 100% absolute. Your Major Premise is fatally flawed, thereby invalidating your entire argument.

You assume falsely that biology is fixed. When biology is actually merely the outcome of chemicals configuring and reconfiguring in ever changing patterns. This is how babies are conceived, McFly!

This can be quantified very easily by analyzing the full spectrum of the population. Height, weight and muscle mass occur for both "male" and "female" bodies across a wide spectrum with significant overlap between "male" and "female". Ie, there are a significant percentage of "males" below 5'3", as well as, a significant percentage of "females" above 6'3". The same is true of weight and muscle mass.

Your attempt to associate innate abilities to DNA (or the way someone is born) is laughable at best. Your patriarchal socialization has corroded your brain and made you blind. Only a person who erroneously believes that "males are superior" would buy into the fake science that claims that DNA is the ultimate arbiter of what a human is or is not. The fact "females" and "males" are built this way or that is a construct of culture, nothing more. This can be quickly proven by looking at the variety of what different countries find attractive. Both "males" and "females" vary in size and look depending on the country. For instance in Brazil large glutes among "females" is highly prized, as well as, a very popular cosmetic procedure.

By asserting that DNA is a be-all-end-all of who a person is, you are actually demeaning the efforts of "female" athletes to break free of the very misogynist mindset that underpins your ridiculous argument. Since, your very same argument was used by other knuckle dragging "males" for millenia to assert that "females" weren’t capable of being strong, competitive or fierce, and therefore, should be barred from any physical activities.
