"The worst humanity has to offer"
TortureWarMurder- Being called a man
"When people ask me why there aren't more female speedrunners, I'm like... isn't it freaking obvious?"
They mean biological women. When there was a (real) woman on camera during speedrunning, people genuinely celebrated. When she was just mediocre at commentating, people perceived it as incredible and amazing. In this mean and cruel world called "reality," the fact that there's hardly any women compared to the amount of men in speedrunning makes it so whenever a woman is playing, the sheer novelty of it can make her much more well received.
Non-passing transsexual women, on the other hand, look ridiculous to most people so of course they're going to be poorly received. It's not even a novelty--there were more trannsexual women speedrunning at the event than genuine, biological women. Don't conflate the treatment of biological women versus transsexual women as if they're interchangeable. They're absolutely not. And the fact that you
also can identify them as transsexual proves that you don't think they pass either, because if you did then you would be confused why people were calling them men instead of getting angry over it.
