You’re getting into a separate issue of blocking puberty in children, which may would consider abuse.

Separate from that there are still measurable differences between sexes that you can’t just magically change with a pill or surgery.

Ever seen pre-puberty kids play against each other? The girls and boys perform about the same.

No, they are not when equated with the same developmental stage (girls' growth spurts start earlier).

Looking at the athletic measurements, boys are better/stronger/faster than girls by a noticeable 5-10%.

After the hormones finally kick in, this jumps to 40-100%.
