I used to be a rather big fan of speedrunning, have been following GDQ for like 8 years. My interest drops considerably about 3 or 4 years ago, when trans started to really get into it, and the whole thing just went full "pride" (very funny, considering politics aren't allowed by their own rules, but this is the only exception tolerated, and actually praised). However people just take it all, because they are desperate for any "women" taking interest into speedrunning too, so even if that's a trans, everyone will just reward them to make sure they stick around.

Out of the 5 female Tetris players that I know, 4 of them are trans. I'd say about 90% of all female speedrunners are trans in general, maybe even more. And of course, they take the place of a normally much better player, but you know, that much better player is a boring straight white man, so he's not in the spot.

As usual, something that used to be a really nice and cozy niche, and one of the best community I've ever seen, went complete garbage.
