With these new rules, FIDE has managed to
- Imply the mental inferiority of women
- Validate the existence of transgender men
- Destroy the integrity of awards record-keeping
- Call transgender women men
Very nice, FIDE, incredible mental gymnastics performance! 👏 Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.
Anyone can play in the ‘men’ category, since it’s actually just ‘open’. The women’s category is the one that’s exclusionary, and where you can’t participate if you’re trans.

Just adding that what’s happening here is a naked attempt at excluding trans women from what are believed to be ‘women’s spaces’, and that nobody’s even bothering to pretend it’s about differences in capability anymore.
