Why does badminton even need to be separated it’s not a strength contest
Trans women also got banned in chess. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/18/1194593562/chess-transgender-fide-pushback
Because some people view Men's sports as professional, and a career opportunity. Women's sports on the other hand are seen by those people as recreational, and something fun to do outside of the house.
Who would put a professional player against a recreational player? That's just not fair, the recreational player would be embarrassed at how bad they are and it wouldn't be fun to watch.
Obviously nothing I said is true but it's an opinion held by many.
Idk man when I see professional badminton they are smacking the fuck out of the cock
I see what you did there, setting up the punchline for your fellow lemmings, now that's what I call service.
So men don't have to be embarrassed from being beaten by a woman.
Never seen Serena Williams play badminton?

Reaction time, endurance, strength(yes hitting a shuttlecock harder is important), etc. They vary wildly between men and women and no sport can really balance the scales in either direction.
