trans or not, shes female. if dudebros are more "accepting" of her because she has a "male" brain (????????????????) then not only are they still sexist, but theyre transmisogynists as well. thats not a leg up for women any way you look at it, and she would be facing hate either way, whether microaggressive or something more direct.

believing "male" and "female" brains to be inherently, naturally different such that one plays a game better than the other is a myth, and anybody who still believes it's true is frankly a lot dumber than those theyre trying to shoehorn out of the playerbase/industry.

eta: wishing there were more cis girls in any playerbase isnt going to solve anything, just for the record. the issue isnt a lack of cis girls, its a matter of toxic, fallacious mentalities that the same damn people cling to over and over. youd be better off wishing those mentalities would change, because otherwise, the mentality - whether there are more cis girls or not - is going to persist.

Unfortunately there are big chunks of the pro gaming community who believe this. They believe that females lack either the response time needed to preform the task or the aggression needed to compete. At least the pro gamers themselves seem to think differently, but it's the same sort of bullshit you'd hear about regular sports teams.

yeah, it's far too common. it's also completely bogus science, which is puzzling bc guys like that seem to be big into that kind of shit. you'd think they knew better.

[(Anonymous)]

they only care about science when it confirms their beliefs, not when it disproves something they want to believe.

All of this!

A cis girl would only have to deal with sexism. This trans girl has to deal not only with sexism but also with a very harmful misunderstanding of what trans means.
