There are certainly women who can compete with men on equal footing athletically. Not that many, and not that at the highest levels, but to start for a small high school team? Absolutely. If you think Brittney Griner wouldn't have been able to play varsity for just about every HS basketball
team in Kentucky, you're crazy. And there are certainly women tough enough to fight physically with men and win in contact sports; just watch women's boxing or MMA and you'll see some girls you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. So it's possible. Now the question of how fair it is under Title IX when there are sports designed specifically for girls for a girl to try and take a boy's spot, or what would happen in the reverse is more interesting. Let's say your school doesn't offer boys volleyball but your son happens to be a really good volleyball player and wants to play on the girls team since there is no boys team. I'm waiting to see that reverse challenge made one day legally and how it results...
