        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.

          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

      50 sounds like a correct number of trans women interested in playing competitive badminton

        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
