males competing against males are also at risk by taking a ball to the head :).
replyI think male female trans etc . can compete if analysed by sports branch basis. Male x female in contact sports like karate boxing taekwondo is not fair. However i think the difference is negligible in shooting, archerty, curling etc.
You believe that women are genetically more susceptible to concussions than men are?

reply“Women tend to have thinner skulls than men, along with smaller neck muscles, which can predispose female athletes to getting a concussion,” says Sarah Menacho, MD, a neurosurgeon and neurocritical care specialist at University of Utah Health. “Data shows that women are also more likely than men to report concussion-related symptoms, and these symptoms can persist for a longer time period prior to recovery than in male athletes.”
Huh, didn't know that.
replyYes. It's not a matter of belief, sex differences in concussion risk have been extensively studied.
