Women face many hardships in esports. By "women," I mean both cisgender and transgender women.
Is it not more productive to fight for an inclusive environment for ALL women marginalised in esports?
I have written about the narrative around the Milk Cup, including the real-life research on gender disparity and biological vs societal impact.

Please read, and strive to be more understanding of one another's struggles. We are stronger when we support one another ❤️
the reaction to this pisses me off!! first of all vader is a woman, but even with the transphobic take your argument relies on the basis that men are innately better at video games than women, which is factually not true. if your argument is that she doesnt experience the harassment c*s women do, you would be right, she experiences 100x more, and at such a young age. its horrible and shes strong for pushing through it. please send love to vader and nina for their win!! I am really proud 🥹
i deal with a LOT of shit in esports. A LOT.
trans women deal with everything i do multipled 10 times over
they are my only peers who TRULY understand what we have to deal with everyday
they are my SISTERS, and I am theirs.
sick of random men using "but think of the cis women!!" as their bullshit shield for transphobia and misogyny
It’s so interesting to me how so many men that actively cause harm to the women’s esports scene and are openly misogynistic on a regular basis suddenly care about “advocating for women” when there is a trans woman that is successful- seems to me more like an opportunity to display their transphobia.
I think open and respectful dialogue is important, but hate speech is never OK. There’s a good chance that trans women may actually experience even more adversity in gaming than cis women do. For this reason, I think it’s so important that we don’t shut down healthy and respectful conversations surrounding this topic but what I have heard and observed on social media today is simply hateful and disgusting.
Congratulations to @ilyynina and @vader_fn for winning the @GonnaNeedMilk & @RaidiantGG Lan! Vader's victory speech, especially, will live forever in my heart: https://t.co/x9lujU3KU6
