I don't play Starcraft 2 much, or video games in general, for that matter, but I do enjoy occasionally watching SC2 casts, mostly out of nostalgia for the original game which I enjoyed quite a bit as a kid.

I've seen Scarlett's games before and while I had gathered that she is a woman, I had no idea she was transgender - honestly, a pleasant surprise, because I'm a trans woman too. I enjoyed this article, and I found it refreshing that it wasn't invasive with regards to her gender identity, while still being explicit and not just sweeping it under the rug. I'm quite happy with this kind of representation - and I'm even happier to find out that I have this in common with such a highly-regarded player.

One note to some of the commenters in this thread, though - please don't speculate on our biology like that, it's incredibly rude. She deserves to be celebrated for her accomplishments regardless of the gender assigned to her at birth.
