The International Chess Federation (FIDE) says it is temporarily banning transgender women from competing in its women’s events.
The FIDE said individual cases would require “further analysis” and that a decision could take up to two years.
The move has been criticised by some players and enthusiasts.
Many sports governing bodies have been working on policies towards transgender athletes, but chess does not involve comparable levels of physical activity.
So they’re assuming women are less intelligent than men? Separating men from women just so women can be “good enough to access it” definitely sounds like it
I clearly said it’s about being comfortable getting into the chess community not “being good enough”.
Whatever, mental sports should NOT be segregated. And wtf you mean “comfortable”?
Why don’t you bother someone that’s actually trying to say something wrong instead of wasting this persons time?
Clearly the person you’re responding to is not an enemy, so why drive other people away?
Unless you’re just a trolling loser, you are just hurting your own cause if you actually care
What’s the difference between troll and clinically enraged?

There are five more replicating too. You know, you’re allowed to brush up on topics BEFORE you begin pontificating.
Where is the part that says that women should be segregated from men?

These as well? Did you even try understanding?
I think expecting someone like them to be reading up on scientific literature is a bit much.
Either you’re the type to understand that this issue is complex and requires some thought, or you think you already know everything.
Just as there are people who think Donald Trump have all the answers, why do we expect everybody on the internet to be capable of rational thought?
Hope springs eternal, lol. I dunno. Thanks for the words.

Us women are allowed to compete with men though. We choose not to. Take that as your will.
Why exactly?
