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.
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.
