    I can see having a women’s league being valuable to foster a safe space outside of the misogynistic dude bro culture that’s so prevalent in gaming, but that’s a space trans women need access too just as much if not more than cis women.

      Exactly. I know chess has women-only events and open events. There is no men’s event. There just wouldn’t be any women if a space weren’t dedicated to women. The culture is so male dominated that it’s needed with no respect to advantage. I imagine e-sports is the same way.
