This assumes much. That being a male makes one a better athlete. That the male form is the desired athletic build. That men acting as women is a problem but women acting like men is just fine.
Is it fair? Depends on the person, depends on the competition, depends on the training levels. I've seen women kick ass at a martial arts competition. Archery, shooting, curling...many sports don't differentiate between the male and female form. And of those that do, I can show you plenty of examples of a wide, wide range of ability from top athlete to last in place.
