its not weird. trans men are men. trans women are women. gc is for women and marginalized groups so essentially anyone who doesn't identify as a man. trans men are men so they cant play gamechangers. trans women are women so they can play for game changers. nonbinary people fit under the umbrella of marginalized groups and also the trans umbrella. its not hard to understand. people don't just wake up and decide to be a certain gender, it's their entire life and being.

they are. but in the case of esports they are not. they are men. men gets the upper hand in esports. so in the case of esports and gamechangers they are not. this isnt to belittle the experiences they face in the world of course but its just to highlight that trans men are men and they are offered more opportunities in esports compared to anyone who isnt a man.

So trans mens are men, so if a woman considered herself as a man she Is not marginalized, so if we created a league where everyone is considered as a man, everyone can participate and then no one will be marginalized
Maybe can be named "Valorant Champions Tour"

Well women identify as men are just men no way around it especially if riot considers men who identify as women as women. There would be no logic otherwise

how are women who identify as men just men?? Every single time ive asked i have gotten the answer that game changers was made for all "marginalized genders"

Because riot considers trans women same as cis women so riot would have to consider trans men same as cis men. I think its wierd imo if non-binary players can compete than everyone except cis men should be able to compete.

Riot sees Trans women as women, so they see trans men as men. Men cant join GC so following that logic trans men cannot either. Its an intresting question wether trans men should be considered as a "marginalised groups" but riot see them as men it which is understandable. The "marginalised groups" riot accepts in GC are the non-binary folk.

The people who identify as women can play in the women league and the people who identify as men can't play in the women league. How does that not make sense?

i thought game changers was to support marginalised genders? is there any reason trans men can't compete?

Game changers is to support the marginalized gender in esports that are women. A trans man is not a woman

bc trans men are men. men dominate the esports scene. gc is all about changing the norm hence the name game changers so that's why gc is for everyone except cisgender men. this is why you cant argue the case for gay men or black men or any other marginalized group under men because all of those people are still men at the end of the day. yes they are gay but they still identify as a man, yes they are black but they are still a man. so although it might be a tad harder to get into esports bc of that its still 10 times as harder to get into esports as it is for anyone not a man

i— they’re men, so they’d compete in the men’s league. trans men are men and trans women are women how hard is this to understand bruh. marginalized genders includes people who don’t conform to the gender binary or exist in different facets of it than man or woman.

I actually didnt even know that women that identify as men arent able to play GC

I have so many things to say that would get me banned. Let me just say one thing though, Riot is absolutely fucking braindamaged if they dont realize that women that identify as men are a marginalized group.

Pathetic actually, no words lmao
