I don't even know if I'm allowed to post this but..

As a trans woman myself who's been out for about.. 6 or 7 years, when I saw Tyari was a trans character in this game, one part of me was so excited, I just want to insta craft them and play all their cards even if they don't fit the deck I'm playing.

The other part of me knew that there was going to be backlash. The amount of hate trans people receive, especially online, can be quite overwhelming. Anytime someone posts an article about a trans person online, the comments are always.. so horrible, I often see comments saying that people like me are just horrible mentally ill people and the worse part about it is that they get hundreds upon hundreds of upvotes and support. Even when Remelia died, the former LCS player in League, people couldn't even just pay their respects for what she went through, but instead had to go out of their way to misgender her..

Anyways, I don't really want this to be a rant, and I doubt anyone will even see this, but to all the support you guys have been giving in the comments, and especially to all the mods who have been working their butts off to keep this place as hate free as possible.. it really did bring a tear to my eye, and I wanted to say thank you <3

Thank you for taking the courage to post, it's not an easy thing <3. Representation in games matters so, so much and we try hard to make players feel welcome. I'm really happy that this work resonated with you!
