I competed for years as a trans woman in CS. at no point did any of the players make me feel excluded, unwelcome, or tell me they didnt want me in their scene. The only backlash I EVER received was from cishet male tourny organizers and dudes in twitch chat. Strange huh?

The same people complaining now about trans women in women & mg esports events are the same people who complained about those events existing in the first place 5 years ago. sexism was always the point, they never cared about women's sports.

Ppl liked the last thread so here's another one. Broadcasting is about telling stories and stories need drama. surely gamers competing is dramatic enough, right? Your job is to make it compelling whether you're an observer, caster or producer. So how do we create drama? 🧵

(the people who weren't welcoming were most likely sore losers, grew as humans, or hypocrites, because almost all of them went on to play with trans people later in their career. no shade from me, it was a different time. I'd guess 99% of all cis women players now are welcoming)

it is so much harder to get into esports both as a player and as a contractor if you aren't already rich or live w/supported by family It's a lot harder to afford good gear, good internet and be able to work/play for cheap/nothing when you need $$$ to put a roof over your head.

People who have never worked esports need to stop coming at hosts. Production comms are busy, and hosts get all the directions issued to them. They are steering the conversations, serving as a foil for the desk, AND being on cam with multiple voices in their ear. Tough job.

More broadcasting thoughts: if the audience doesn't like something on your broadcast, even if they can't articulate what they don't like, you should probably review what you're doing. If they think you suck, there's probably room to improve. It's your job to find out how.

special shoutout though to @goodgrfn who is the best coworker I've ever had. it kills me to break up our work duo but i know we'll both do great things on our own :) everything I accomplished at NSG was with Grif's support and he deserves more attention for being one of the GOATs

benching myself to focus more on leading a healthy balanced life. Full time job + prac was burning a candle at both ends and I dont want to hold the team back from being their best +Vouch for this incredibly driven, drama free, talented f/a team. Their grind is insane, go apply!

I will make a new post about where I'm going next when all the details are sorted out but in a way I am going back to my grassroots :) I am hopeful I will get to make some cool stuff for/with the communities that helped launch me into esports and im really excited to do the work
