Oh quiet down with that PC bullshit.. Scarlett's a fantastic SC2 player and seems like a great person to be around. Pointing out that she was once a man is NOT INCORRECT. Her birth certificate presumably has "M" beside the gender designation.
Its one thing to be accepting of someone who is transexual and wants to be recognized as a woman, its a completely different story to ignore the facts in the name of being politically correct.
I'm sorry.. but stuff like this pisses me off.

Aren't these threads supposed to be moderated? Is the OP identifying coverage of Eve's recruitment to Azubu or am I blind? Do us all a favor. Take your ignorance / jealousy for Scarlett's success as a female pro gamer and bury it along with yourself in a deep hole somewhere. I know commenting on the actual topic of the thread is such a daunting task but maybe with a little effort... miracles can happen. Also, if http://i.imgur.com/mpGVG.png is real and not fabricated, it looks like she has some growing up to do.
On topic it's cool to see Azubu grow and develop this full-fledged SC2 team. Violet has had an amazing 2012 and it will be pretty exciting to see joined by some other great names in the scene. GL Azubu!

Pretty sure that it would say that she's Female on her birth certificate. Either way, Scarlett's birth gender is completely irrelevant to both the thread and the point you're making. Not to suggest that you're an ignorant person or anything of that sort, but I think it would do you good to meet/talk with some transgender people about the issue, because it seems quite clear to me that you're lacking perspective and a proper appreciation/understanding of it.

I don't know if that's entirely the case, that line of thinkning towards homosexuals/transgender individuals is still pretty mainstream in Korea, to my knowledge.
All that said, if she's come all the way from Gold to Masters then it at least shows she's dedicated to improving. GL to her and AZUBU!

If she is still sticking with the game at this point when popularity is declining and there are no easy money opportunities for being a cheerleader I think It's safe to say she's serious about trying to be competitive. I think It's really silly that Naniwa can't get on a team and Eve who has no success has found one though. Either way good luck and I hope Azubu will be successful in GSTL.
Unless it turns out they're paying her a ton of money to not be very good and sit on the bench for GSTL and never play, then that would be silly and I take it back.
Naniwa has stated that he is in talk with several teams both koreans and foreigners, he just hasn't decided, stop claiming false facts, he could get a team immedietely but choosing the right one is kinda important ^^

Thought I recognized your name, you've gotten banned quite a few times and it's not hard to see why.
on topic though, glad to see a team that actually markets picks up Eve, I presume we'll be see a lot of her from now on.

Good for Eve! I'm happy to see her find a new team. I will look forward to the continuation of her career as a progamer.
|
Interesting. Hopefully she will play in some tournaments now. I don't see girls playing that much :/ Or I am just blind 
|
The first female progamer ever appeared in a GSL match.
Okay, she lost her match.
Versus Sniper.
While offracing.

Violets comment on it made me smile. Congrats Eve!

I remember she felt so sad when she lost in the GSTL team league match.
I hope she can achieve what she wants.
Also, I thought she was T, why is the name in OP a P ?

Seeker can you just put that she switched to protoss a few months back but was forced to play terran in GSTL because Slayers never updated the roster? Every other post is asking why she is listed as P and not T

My understanding of what it means to be a transgender individual is that your own perception of your gender identity does not match your biologically assigned gender at birth. If I'm wrong, please excuse my ignorance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_verification_in_sports
With that said, I would just like to start by saying that it's obviously a controversial and two-sided issue in regards to gender identity and classifications within sports achievements and competition. The simple truth is men and women are biologically different and their differences result in differing strengths and weaknesses. Societal biases and prejudices over the history of our kind has also led to behavioral conditioning that puts both genders in disadvantages in some conditions.
I recognize Scarlett as a female. If that is what she considers herself, then that is what she is. Ideally, no separation should be made between the results of male competitors and female competitors, however, if we are to differentiate between gender in regards to results for whatever reason and if Scarlett is indeed biologically male, for the sake of competitive integrity, I just can't consider her results to be those of a female's before we fully understand gender's effects on the human brain and body. I don't know if she has undergone sex reassignment surgery or hormonal therapy, and quite frankly, that is none of my business.
It's like pro-life vs. pro-choice. As it stands now, on a reasonable level, there is a genuine debate and I'm just expressing my stance from one side of the argument. People will disagree and I fully understand and respect their position as well. It's one of those issues where neither side is right and both opinions should be honored. Eve saying the things she did (if that image is real) doesn't mean she is childish.

I know a transgender and it is exactly as you say.
They feel like they are born in the wrong body.
I know someone just like Scarlett who started changing sex very early on in her life. It is definitely something very difficult to describe for people who do not live it and I feel even if I try my very best I will never be able to quite understand the difficulty and hardship period that you have to go through. Whoever claims stupid stuff about Scarlett is merely ignorant and does not understand this particular subject matter

Azubu planning on participating at GSTL is very pleasant; they seem to be quite rich and more money in the GSTL can´t be bad. Also congratz to Eve, hope to see her outside of korea soon, it would be quite interesting to see, how Eve/Aphrodite would do against foreign competition.
Btw. guys, I came to the conclusion, that Chuck Norris is most likely male. I thought it might be relevant, because it has as much to do with the actual topic, as the current discussion has.
