That's amazing! Almost double body weight is insane for a c+j if I remember what my former strength coach said, and he was talking to college athletes! Not a 12 year old!
And yeah, more women are lifting heavy and I love it, we're taking back our spot in the weight room which is great, but also the myth of male superiority in athletics is getting closer and closer to being busted. T does give a natural advantage but there also so many other natural and unnatural advantages to be had and taken advantage of. I've always been of the opinion that people should just play sports with those they enjoy playing with, whether because they're all similar in ability, or of completely different abilities but just enjoy playing together and appreciating each others strengths and efforts. Maybe I'm biased because when I used to do a lot of sports, my favorite experiences were always when it was mixed instead of segregated by gender. When I was biking, and my club would just do mixed rides and we'd pick which group we'd be in based on target average speed: unlimited, 30km/h, 25km/h, and <20km/h (no drop, aka the average speed of the group is the speed the slowest rider wants to do) and it was a really wonderful experience. And among the top 5 fastest riders in the club I think 2 or 3 were women.
