But that would link gender dysphoria to mental illness and suicide, which is desperately avoided.

This isn’t a woman. Stop the insanity. This takes away from actual womens' accomplishments. 

I had never heard of Maria “Remilia” Creveling before, but I have been following the rise of female professional gamers as of late – especially in Tekken 7 tournaments – with a great feeling of pride. After all the crap things like Gamergate put them through, it’s was great to see them out there and kicking ass.…

Why do bloggers refuse to type the word trans? This person was absolutely not the first homo-sapien with a uterus to compete in LoL; your title is extremely misleading. I don’t follow League but I had a feeling as soon as I read the title you were being disingenuous so I did a Google search and sure enough Wikipedia…

“First female to compete in League Of Legends Championship Series”.....

You arent the first FEMALE to do anything if you aren’t really a female. Trans male athletes and competitors do not deserve the distinction of first FEMALE anything just because they decided to cross dress and grow their hair out. It takes away from the accomplishments of real female competitors.

i’m sad for him

Not a woman.  It's a dude with a mental disorder.

Sasha Hosty also known by her username Scarlett, is a Canadian professional video game player most known for her performance in StarCraft II, though she briefly dabbled in Dota 2. After not meeting any success in Dota 2, she has returned to playing StarCraft II for Team Expert as of August 17, 2016. As of February…

I know this will be removed and I'll be accused of hate or whatever social justice word you want to use, but the truth is, this person was not the first woman to be in the championship... He was born a man, changing your name... Getting boobs and growing out your hair does not constitute being a woman. I know it's not…

Way to go dumb fucks, give a “first woman” title to a dude pretending to be a woman. Looks like I’m actually getting behind feminists on this one. Great job on eliminating the struggle of women in a male culture with your idiotic politically correct bullshit. 

It’s sad when someone so young dies, but if she was a trans woman, it’s misleading to say a “woman” has died in the title and not provide any clarification in the body of the article. I was intrigued by the title because women do not as often excel in such activities, but from the comments I see that she may have been…

“First transgender”. FTFY. She wasn’t the “first woman”. Get a grip kotaku

Very sad to see Remilia pass so young. The title is inaccurate however, and it is very patriarchal and sexist to give the title of “first woman” to a biological man.

Obviously she didn’t just “die in her sleep”, the stats don’t support that for her age. Unfortunate we will never know the truth. 

I have a hard time reconciling “24 years old” and “passing peacefully in her sleep”, especially with zero explanation. Was she sick?

“So all I’ll say is the 4 months I knew her were the best of both our lives” ?? That seems like a very weird statement to make about somebody else after only four months of dating. Wouldn’t they still be in the honeymoon stage of the relationship? Not trying to be ‘shitty or mean’ in the comments I just don’t…

That’s not a woman.

Doesn’t it kinda suck that the title “first woman” is going to someone born as a male. Think about it. Fo rale.

Reading the circumstances around this particular individual confirms it probably wasn’t natural, but we’ll see if anybody comes forth with more information
