    eSports might be true because don’t men have more fast twitch muscles then women?

    Yes the 99.9% reaction time for men us 109 ms for women it is 121 ms. I mean as much as everyone might want to believe their are biological differences besides genatils.

      Even if that’s true, eSport isn’t always based on reflexes (e.g. card games) and I don’t know about a game that’s not mixed anyway.

      They don’t end up even having an advantage in physical sports, I doubt they would have an advantage in something where the difference between the sexes is originally significantly smaller. Transitioning is actually completely transformative. Once the transition is complete, there is very little remaining difference. And physical sports don’t let them compete until that point. It would probably be less important to not let them compete in e-sports during the transition since the starting difference is so minor, and I don’t think there are many e-sports that separate the sexes anyway.

      Being fast and having bad strategy is not an advantage over being slower and having good strategy.

      Most eSports are about strategy over speed. And when you’re talking a few milliseconds, that’s not especially an issue anyway.

      There are plenty of coed eSports teams that do just fine.
