I have gone through multiple research papers and peer reviewed articles. They do show a physiological difference, you cannot dispute that but the difference is so small it's negligible in the grand scheme of things. They also are not accurate as they have do not have accurately represented subjects i.e - have people from an esport backgrounds with similar age groups.
These are some of the papers I've gone through, you can look at the data yourself
[ Reaction Time ]
"Significant difference was found between RT of male and female medical students (P < 0.001)"

Int J Appl Basic Med Res. 2015 May-Aug;5(2):124-7. doi: 10.4103/2229-516X.157168. PMID: 26097821; PMCID: PMC4456887.
"Males were faster than females cross age groups, RT tasks, and visits."
Citation: Fozard JL, Vercryssen M, Reynolds SL, Hancock PA, Quilter RE. Age differences and changes in reaction time: the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. J Gerontol. 1994 Jul;49(4):P179-89. doi: 10.1093/geronj/49.4.p179. PMID: 8014399.
"Males have shorter motion discrimination thresholds than females"
Citation: Murray, Scott O., et al. Sex Differences in Visual Motion Processing. Current Biology, vol. 28, no. 17, 2018, doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.06.014.
[ Hand-eye Coordination ]
"However, highly consistent differences in eye-hand coordination were evidenced by a larger temporal lag between hand motion and target motion in women."
Citation: Mathew, J., Masson, G.S. & Danion, F.R. Sex differences in visuomotor tracking. Sci Rep 10, 11863 (2020). doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-68069-0
"These findings, supported by previous research, highlight that young males are more precisely hand-eye coordinated than young female students statistically significant higher."
Citation: Chraif, Mihaela, and Mihai Aniţei. “Gender Differences in Motor Coordination at Young Students at Psychology.” International Journal of Social Science and Humanity, vol. 3, no. 2, 2013, pp. 147–150, 10.7763/ijssh.2013.v3.215. Accessed 30 Jan. 2021.
[ Spatial Ability ]
"Sex differences had much smaller effect sizes but were evident, with females outperforming males on attention, word and face memory, reasoning speed, and all social cognition tests and males outperforming females in spatial processing and sensorimotor and motor speed."
Citation: Gur, R. C., Richard, J., Calkins, M. E., Chiavacci, R., Hansen, J. A., Bilker, W. B., Loughead, J., Connolly, J. J., Qiu, H., Mentch, F. D., Abou-Sleiman, P. M., Hakonarson, H., & Gur, R. E. (2012). Age group and sex differences in performance on a computerized neurocognitive battery in children age 8−21. Neuropsychology, 26(2), 251–265. doi: 10.1037/a0026712
" Study 1 showed that in behavior performance, males outperformed females in both large-scale and small-scale spatial ability, but the effect size of the gender difference in large-scale spatial ability is significantly greater than that in small-scale spatial ability."
Citation: Yuan, Li, et al. “Gender Differences in Large-Scale and Small-Scale Spatial Ability: A Systematic Review Based on Behavioral and Neuroimaging Research.” Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, vol. 13, 18 June 2019, 10.3389/fnbeh.2019.00128.
[ Competitive Ability/Pressure Tolerance ]
"Overall, these findings suggest that men were significantly more socially motivated in the presence of another competitor, at least in terms of attention in a physical effort task.", "Furthermore, male participants showed faster RTs and greater sustained effort as a result of a competitive environment, suggesting that males may be more affected by competition in physical effort tasks."
Citation: DiMenichi BC, Tricomi E. The power of competition: Effects of social motivation on attention, sustained physical effort, and learning. Front Psychol. 2015 Sep 1;6:1282. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01282. PMID: 26388801; PMCID: PMC4554955.
"The analysis takes advantage of a major education reform in Ontario that exogenously increases competition for university grades. Comparing students prereform and postreform using rich administrative data, I find that male average grades and the proportion of male students graduating "on time" increased relative to females. Further, the evidence indicates that these changes were due to increased relative effort rather than self-selection."

[ Learning Style/Knowledge Difference ]
"According to the results, male students preferred to use the kinesthetic learning style more than females, while, female students preferred the aural learning style."
Citation: Sarabi-Asiabar A, Jafari M, Sadeghifar J, Tofighi S, Zaboli R, Peyman H, Salimi M, Shams L. The relationship between learning style preferences and gender, educational major and status in first year medical students: a survey study from iran. Iran Red Crescent Med J. 2014 Dec 27;17(1):e18250. doi: 10.5812/ircmj.18250. PMID: 25763269; PMCID: PMC4341501.
