He’ll, if the requirements were gender neutral, then every astronaut would be a woman based on weight alone.
Even biologically, men are woman if the anti-muellerian hormone is not surpressed during the fetal development.(Usually happens if the gene in males is missing or suppressed that)

Well, yeah. Any uterus on the battlefield is one that isn’t back home gestating the next generation of cannon fodder.
(It’s despicable, but I’m pretty sure that’s how these shit stains actually think.)
Also it might move around or fall out /s
Now I’m wondering if there’s a notable combat advantage for having a built in piss tube or not.
What endurance events are women better at?
Also, I was curious about the g-force thing, but any scientific studies I could find had conclusions that there aren’t any significant differences between men and women when it comes to withstanding g-forces.

Cold weather ultra marathon swimming? That’s really specific, not important for military use, (who is having to free swim for 10+ miles?) and I was having problems trying to find any specific records for cold water ultra marathon swimming. I could find ultra marathon records of swimming in general, but most of those were men.
We need more data, but ultra-marathons could be such events

I could see that being a case. Running for over 100 miles is just insane for anyone.
