It's a little bit cliché to bring up the speedrunning-tranny dichotomy, but I lost my shit when I saw this. It was brought up in the
Speedrunning community watch thread but it comes complete with five hilarious characters, thought I'd share it here and give it a proper post.
speedrun.com, the premiere place to host leaderboards in the hobby, is under new administration. They implemented a "pronoun" feature which is pretty much expected (begrudgingly) nowadays, but one thing these guys have been doing is featured articles on the side of the site. Last week, they were promoting black speedrunners - cool. This week, they ran an article on
"Four women in Speedrunning". Awesome - this is a super male-dominated hobby so I can't wait to check out these four female speedrunners and show some support!

Now, it's 2021 of course, so I fully expect one of these lovely ladies to probably be trans. Just being realistic here - in a community famous for its trans demographic + they want to push an agenda of "trans women are women" means they will definitely put one TiM out of four in here. Let's take a look.
