I don't know how biology works in the Elder Scrolls, but in real life, (human) males tend to be naturally stronger due to higher levels of testosterone. HOWEVER, traditional societies would sometimes employ women into their military ranks due to their greater flexibility and agility (also, better peripheral vision). My suggestion would be to balance the sexes based on these factors (i.e males get a strength bonus while females get a bonus elsewhere [Perhaps, better starting skills in melee weapons to represent their natural affinity to them?]). Of course, you might also have to raise the minimal weapon strength requirements for some of the weapons (Women weren't really known to use swords and maces [though it WAS known to happen OCCASIONALLY], but rather, long, lightweight sticklike weapons.)
*Siiiiiigh* More triggered edgelords going nuts about anything vaguely gender-related that doesn't actively reinforce their ideology....
From a game-balancing perspective, this does alter the balancing a bit between the races. Per your stated methodology, most races will get +10 to an attribute (or in the case of female Orcs, across two) from this. Argonians, though, get +20 total across two. Not really sure whether this *really* matters, but it seems worth pointing out.
I really don’t understand what the problem of this Alt Right-Edgelords in this comment session is who think everybody who don’t agrees with their ideology is a SJW.
Did you ever noticed that the world in which the Elder Scrolls-Series takes place is not meant to be realistic and that the males and females of most races are already equal in their strength without mods?
You really should have a look on this: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Races
"Fyrcynn Fyrcynn This "mod" was brought about by political correctness and SJW propaganda. It wasn't meant to be logical."
NO if i was doing an SJW version of this mod the females would have been much stronger than the males and the males would have been nerfed into the ground.
What does it mean "any gender you want without disadvantages"? For example, originally male Bretons have 40 of Strength and females have 30, vice versa Males have 30 of Speed and Female have 40. Does this mod makes all Bretons to have 40 of Strength and 40 of Speed?

I wish you luck with your mod. :)
