Testosterone works the heart and men’s hearts do more work to pump blood to more tissue. And there are some genes on the X chromosome that help with the immune system. If a man is missing it/has a defective version he is just going to be missing that part. But the chances of a woman having 2 defective copies isn’t very high.
