Getting untrained people to do a one rep squat / bench / deadlift seems unsafe. It's probably easier to just do genetic testing or get biological markers and draw the line that way.

It isn't, they can't lift that much because they are untrained so it's difficult for them to hurt themselves. Many other exercises would also work, 50 yard dash? Rucking with a backpack for a few miles? Anything where a gender difference exists today that is large enough to be statistically significant.

They do this sort of thing all the time: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34873221/
