But in this case, we're not talking about '1%'. Generally, women can go to 35% muscle mass while men can go to 45%. I can imagine it's a world of difference between fighting someone who has 1% more more muscle than yourself, or 25%.
Who said anything about women fighting men??
Well that's an important part of the discussion: it's not as binary as you want to present it
Except the people who are opposed to Imane Khalief are not engaged in a good faith argument about gender not being binary and what a woman even is. They're trying to impose a binary by saying a woman has to conform to our standards.
Look at how they've targeted female rugby players and boxers who have 'less feminine' features in their conception by accusing them of secretly being trans women. It's all about appearances because these women dared to be strong while having strong facial bone definition
I think it's great that you want to oppose these people, but I think it's wrong to start using bad faith arguments ourselves to do it
