didn't FIDE banned trans women from women's chess because they think men are smarter?
that should have been a bigger scandal
Sexist and transphobic at the same time??
It's more likely than you think
it is funny how the transphobes claim to be protecting women, by being the most misogynistic people around
They're tied to the same thing, because they think women are weak and pathetic, thus need protection (so they're the ones who get to abuse them instead).
my favourite genre of videos is woman grandmaster playing random guys and they become pissy toddlers when they lose,
Exception that one rough looking guy who took it so well, he absolutely enjoyed seeing such an amazing player in action. That guy should be the standard for masculinity.
Very few people claim to be protecting a group while actually respecting them
They do not want to protect women, they want to put themselves in a superior position to other women. Because only they can be the proper women. Affluent, white, cis, abled women. the rest need to be put in their place.
Wait a second... They did?
I have no words to describe this...
Wow, that's crazy. https://www.chess.com/news/view/fide-publishes-controversial-new-transgender-policy
We use the foreskin as an extra cheat sheet.
That's why I, as a Jewish boy, suck at chess :(

Chess being gendered is silly, who cares what someone has in their pants, you can't have a biological advantage in fucking chess of all things
traditionally it was a male dominated area, with plenty of misogyny. women categories were made to let women play without having to deal with that sausage party.
but yhea, ideally that would have never been needed .
Didn't a male chessplayer enter a women's tournament covered in Islamic garment to disguise himself, and obliterated everyone? I'm not arguing against you, I just remember seeing something about that.
Article
He beat a woman with a lower rating than him, but lost to a woman with a higher rating before being caught and banned from competing in future tournaments
I see, thanks for the info!
this? https://www.bbc.com/sport/africa/65280560
And?
Men were already bared from women's chess.
no idea what is your point.
Well not really a point, but if it's the case then well trans women genetically have male brains and there for unfairly "better" at chess. Again, I'm not saying that IS the case. Any competition/sport that doesn't need separation because of, for example, unfair physical advantages, shouldn't have it either.
I think the gender separation in Chess isn't there because anatomical difference.
but to encourage women to play more, given some chess clubs were sausage parties. so whatever terfy reason about any 'advantage' doesn't apply.
its not even entirely the sausage party thats the problem, its the historic misogyny of chess players. it really discourages women to start playing chess when everyone playing is a man who thinks theyre too stupid to play and constantly reminds them of it.
Makes sense
