No stats I can find, so I’ll just go with anecdotes: I know 2 people who play badminton from family, friends & extended, so that’s roughly 2 / 80 people. Let’s use that as a background
730k * 2 / 80 = ~ 18200 trans women, rounding down
You’d think so, but a lot of that has to do with trans women getting much more attention because of the idea that trans men are “poor vulnerable girls that have been brainwashed into mutilating their bodies by groomers” and trans women are “the groomers” so the former is a tragic afterthought to the latter’s insidious agenda.
TIL there are literally only 50 trans women in the entire US.
About to be less
50 sounds like a correct number of trans women interested in playing competitive badminton
It might legitimately be an overestimate for that matter.

Thank god they haven’t found out about this!
This is exactly what it sounds like when you explain American Football to a non-American.
Cricket has entered the chat…

otoh, I am an american and I have no idea what a nose guard is
What about those interested in playing other competitive sports? Are we just going to erase them?
what about trans men interested in playing competitive juggling? are we just going to erase them?
what about nonbinary people who dislike cooking? have you forgotten about them completely???
and you haven’t even mentioned your opinion on waffles, do you hate them?
…
the conversation was about trans women and badminton, not other things
Removed by mod
because the ban is petty and vindictive. trans women are roughly equal in performance with cis women
Then why do they keep winning in every sport that requires strength and endurance?

You made the claim they were roughly equal in strength. Do you have any sources on that? Because the science says otherwise.

If these aren’t unfair advantages, IDK what is.
Umm, they don’t.
The perception they do is ginned up hysteria.
Source?
False, estrogen gets rid of the strength
… anyone looking for facts:

yeah but like, how many of them are interested in badminton? and specifically badminton competitions
No stats I can find, so I’ll just go with anecdotes: I know 2 people who play badminton from family, friends & extended, so that’s roughly 2 / 80 people. Let’s use that as a background
730k * 2 / 80 = ~ 18200 trans women, rounding down
well, i know 0 people who play badminton from all my friends and family, so that’d be 0 trans women rounding up
very good, let’s combine our results:
0 + 18200 / 2 = 9,100 trans women playing badminton in the US
For some reason I thought there’d be way more trans women than trans men, probably because trans women are brought up so much more often.
You’d think so, but a lot of that has to do with trans women getting much more attention because of the idea that trans men are “poor vulnerable girls that have been brainwashed into mutilating their bodies by groomers” and trans women are “the groomers” so the former is a tragic afterthought to the latter’s insidious agenda.
My feelings don’t care about your facts
That’s okay, your tears say more than real evidence ever could
