The adrenal glands in both sexes generate small amounts of testosterone. When a woman has a hard life physically—laboring on a farm etc—the glands generate a bit more so some male characteristics appear in a mild form. The presence of testosterone boosts muscle production when muscles are exercised.

The research seems to show that the hormone involved is not testosterone.

In my experience I would say that the islander women are an exception, I have no idea why. May be that the islander woman are typically sports crazy to start with.

Yes, Islanders are naturally fit and strong
In league and Union they are highly overrepresented in Aussie/Kiwi teams

Not an eye opener for me. I knew it before I started this Thread, hence the Thread.

Post-Menopausal Lesbians Flee America Over Concerns About Forced Pregnancies

LONDON — A pair of post-menopausal lesbians announced they had fled the United States over concerns about forced pregnancies. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi revealed that they had taken refuge in the serene English countryside where they could be free from being forced to carry babies to term.

"No one's forcing me to have a baby," Ellen said of her decision to leave the United States. "Okay, sure, I can't have one for biological reasons — and I'm a lesbian — but still. Hands off my uterus, Trump."

England, known for having stricter abortion laws than DeGeneres and Rossi's former home of California, had already helped make them feel safe because J.K. Rowling making Dumbledore gay has made everyone so understanding.

"I say, isn't that the Ellen chap from the tele?" local Englishman Theo Underhill was overheard asking his manservant as he spotted the lesbians out for a stroll. "By Jove, I believe it is! Can't get pregnant, you know. Lesbians, that is."

Portia de Rossi said it was hard to leave California as an actress who isn't getting any more work, but it was all worth it. "I'm just glad no one will force us to be pregnant ever again," she said. "Which is good, even though it's impossible."

At publishing time, DeGeneres and de Rossi's relationship was called into question for other reasons, including the fact that most people assumed Ellen was a ten-year-old boy whose middle-aged mother was being very inappropriate with him.

Doctors Report Startling Rise In Testicular Injuries Among Woman Athletes

"This new wave of testicular injuries to female athletes has really come out of nowhere," said Dr. Ryan Kitchen of Boston College's Institute of Sports Medicine. "Years ago, there were absolutely no reported testicular injuries that occurred during women's sporting events. If only we could determine what led to this sudden rise. Such a puzzle!"

Institutions around the world have also noticed the disturbing trend and are pouring research dollars into discovering the cause, which is almost certainly a complicated issue with no easy or obvious answers whatsoever.

I would say there are quite a few Aussie....What matters is how good they are at their chosen sport not their sexuality....What does it matter???

Huh

Well the Matilda's are mostly dykes.
They played like the blokes (Socceroos) and 'choked' like them as well.
The Matilda's never played a 'beautiful' game and it showed.

So you're objecting that they play a less "beautiful" game than the men do?

I find it interesting that the comparison is between women in sport, and men in sport. Wouldn't it be more illuminating to compare women in sport, with women generally? And of course men in sport, with men generally?

Now I just watched most of a day's play in men's Test cricket. I feel worse for it, due to the heavy load of advertising and channel 7 self-promotion. A few times "wife and family" was mentioned, but nothing approaching mention of a player's sexuality. I swear, a woman with tits could have squared up to bat, and none of the commentators would have said a word.

Could we please have the same respect for women playing sports? Their sexuality is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
