I think they’re trying to promote women in sports, and some idiot decided that a male player might enter the comp looking for easy wins against a smaller pool of players.
Its a compete failure to read the room, but that’s my guess as to how they ended up here.
Mountain dew and pizza for us pc gamers. Or redbull and vodka 😬
But the real trick is to eat/hydrate properly and actually exercise, like a real athlete, but then manage your stims properly for the actual competition so you aren’t desens or already worn out or gas early
my guess (regarding split divisions) is it’s just money, there are many more times hardcore male gamers than female… but people want to watch female gamers as much or more than men…
so if you had coed competitions, they’d end up being 95% male, and they’d make less money…
duly noted….
i was speculating on the reasoning behind their rules; having a split women’s and men’s divisions…. not the reasoning for being trans-exclusive.
Oh, I was talking about the trans exclusion. Sorry, I didn’t mean to come across as nitpicky; I thought your comment was calling trans women men and I wanted to test the waters without being overly confrontational.
Okay, what’s the excuse for the tournament’s actions?
Are they claiming a Y chromosome now unlocks special gaming abilities when activated with Mtn Dew and Doritos?
Don’t forget that also… There are cis women with y chromosomes. There are cis men without. There are intersex people.
So true. I wonder what their metric is, then? “Sorry you spent too many years on Xbox Live before starting E.” Lmao.
They fucking suck.

Not co-ed, trans-inclusive.
