Sexual equality means that given all else being equal, a woman has the same likelihood of success in a given field as a man. That “all other things” includes whatever effect testosterone has on the profession. If it turns out that the average woman simply isn’t as good at the job as an average man, then there will (and should) be an imbalance. What matters with regards to sexual equality is that those women who DO excel have equal CHANCES to excel.
The same will obviously be true where some aspect of being female results in superior performance in a job.
The only reason that using a 50/50 split as a metric is at all reasonable is because it’s not really possible, at this point, to tell when an equally qualified person is receiving equal chances.
