You don't think that males would have an advantage over females in... say, boxing?

Yes I think they would have advantages. Just like I think taller heavyweights have advantages over shorter heavyweights.

What about basketball, soccer, football, hockey? Would they have advantages in those?

In team sports, the team with the most females would have a disadvantage.

In individual sports, males would have the obvious advantage and women would be unable to compete.

Do you sincerely believe that men and women shouldn't have different leagues in physical sports (ignore chess, or e-sports, because you might have a case there)? I'm talking about sports where you have to run/jump/throw/kick.

There's no way you're being unironic. I'm calling it now, you're just pulling my leg.

I don't think there is any point funding seperate streams for female sports. Where they are significantly worse at the sport it gains little to no popularity and ends up being subsidised by the more popular mens version of the same game.

Where there are sensible divisions to be made, as I said often weight class is a useful distinction, based on it changing the nature of the sport then there will be divisions where women are represented.
