Several teams of female gamers have dropped out of the Dead by Daylight Women’s World Cup after trans women were banned.

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

      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.

      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.
