        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.
