Everyone has the right to ‘boil down’ anything to whatever. But science says otherwise. XX or female is the default setting. If there is any deviation from the default, then there is a change or transformation. And the result is no longer female. It could be male. Or not. But it’s not ‘female’.

OP here. That's my point. In shooting for absolute equal, we're trying to take what is not binary - it's more of a biological spectrum (chromosomes, hormones, etc.) - and make it binary. Square peg, round hole, and so on. Putting equal aside (because it's not realistic) leaves "What is fair? To all?" and that's a different question. Not to make light or sound snarky (but to make a point), if we use equal as the goal, then what's to stop those who are height-challenged from demanding to play basketball?

  Women have periods, pregnancy and menopause. Our entire lives have been shaped by this journey we were meant to make. It’s our design. That’s what defines women. That’s our identity. The opposite binary and other uncategorised versions are not the default female. The genders are not equal. I lost my farm after 12 years because I was in ‘violation of farm management policy’ because I didn’t follow their list of 6 different PTO implement. As a female, I don’t have the upper body strength to operate and change all those PTO implements. I spent not a small amount to fabricate and fashion my own small implement that was originally imported from Italy. And yet.. even though my design was better..I was constantly compared to male farmers .. “why are you not following their methods and same equipment as the dudes? Well..because I have breasts, shorter arms and lesser upper body strength, you idiots!” And this was the State of California public agency that controlled my land access that I lost and subsequently lost my farm due to lack of land access. I am particularly depressed now because there is no way I expect a fair hearing ..the world has gone mad. Daft as a drunk duck, I am telling you.. and it’s just depressing. They have stolen 12 years of my life and my work(I was working on automating my farm equipment) because I am not a man. I don’t want to be equal to a man. I want to be myself. I empathize with those training for female sports. We can’t win anywhere. Soon we will only be relegated for one job..for the one thing only we can do..and what only we possess: wombs. I don’t even want to live in this world anymore.
