Given institutional sexism that prevented cis girls from being in rigorous motion by harping on the development of thick ankles and other physical "horrors" caused by sportswomanship, there is no uncompromised data set for what the cisgender female's body is actually capable of.
Any argument that doesn't take this into account when arguing against athletic integration is anti-intellectual on the basis of this alone.
Like, the reasons so many mysteries of the clitoris and vaginal orgasm remain unclear is because cismen in medicine have not prioritized them. That applies to the rest of our bodies, too.
I believe wholeheartedly that this article attests to what should be the standard for cis girl's abilities rather than a freak show-worthy anomaly. It's going to be hard for the gender critical set to pull the wool over the eyes of strong girls and women. https://www.newyorker.com/sports/sporting-scene/the-accidental-weight-lifting-world-record-holder
If anyone is doing long-term research on USAPL's junior competitors or cis girls in other strength sports, I would love to see the preliminary findings.
