There is oodles of science that absolutely confirms this.
Almost all men are stronger than almost all women. It’s why high school boy’s sports teams routinely wipe the field with Olympic-level women’s teams. Like, they absolutely dominate the women’s teams. Even world-class female bodybuilders and strength athletes only moderately exceed the upper quartile of the male population. As in, not other bodybuilders and strength athletes, just normal men who have high-but-not-unusual levels of fitness.
And because the Venn diagram of when changes are best applied to the human body, and when subjects are old enough to give informed consent, are two separate circles with one hell of a gap between them, most FtM changes occur after the bulk of the musculature that provides adult strength has been developed.
As a progressive it absolutely sucks to admit that. But facts, evidence, and even reality have a very strong left-leaning bias.
