I also exists for chess for example and makes a lot of sense. If one gender is vastly underrepresented, giving them a separate competition helps them succeed at all.
In most sports the male competition is an actually open competition for all genders.
Adding onto this, it’s also for helping foster community among marginalized groups who are all passionate about the same thing. It’s hard to develop that community when you don’t see other people from that group in the sport or hobby you’re in.
Creating women only competitions is a way to connect people to help them foster that community and bring other women into the sport so that one day, it won’t just be a male dominated sport.
Because they actually are. There’s effectively no rules barring women from competing on regular esports teams, it just never seems to happen. There isn’t the same drive or interest, and there isn’t enough in the overall culture to support it. This isn’t some kind of proposed physical separation, it’s intended to drive interest and representation from a competitive standpoint.
This isn’t some big brain gotcha. Among the various other reasons, many men and boys being inappropriate around women is another reason to have a woman only league. But I’m glad you got to feel special
Seperate gendered esports makes zero fuckin sense what the actual fuck.

last i checked women make up around half of all gamers. why would roughly half of all gamers be “vastly underrepresented” in esports? 🤔

idk man that sounds like segregation apologetics to me.
How is a blahaj.zone account in favor of banning trans women from women’s sports? This is like seeing capitalism apologea from a .ml account
i’m not, you need to think more and react less
eta: im not sure where you even came away with that idea, either. it never surprises me when a sh.itjust.works account is fucking illiterate tho.
You may be right, but that’s not the situation here. The categories already exist, and the question is how to manage them.
In this case, it seems like the categories don’t already exist. This whole thing is being run by some random kik streamer
