International Chess Org: Trans Women Have "No Right To Participate" In Women's Chess
www.erininthemorning.com
International Chess Federation, FIDE, has released new guidelines targeting transgender players. The guidelines would strip trans men's titles, and potentially bar trans women from playing.

With these new rules, FIDE has managed to

  1. Imply the mental inferiority of women
  2. Validate the existence of transgender men
  3. Destroy the integrity of awards record-keeping
  4. Call transgender women men

Very nice, FIDE, incredible mental gymnastics performance! 👏 Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.

    Oops, you gave it away! Turns out if you make this move you either admit:

    1. That you think people who are biologically male have an advantage in mental only competition

    2. That you want to punish transgender people for transitioning by taking away what they’ve earned and preventing them from participating in the future.

    How completely and utterly shocking, that the trans people in sports “fairness” debate was just a badly put together costume for sexism and transphobia. I tell you, I’m more shocked about this than anything. Definitely.

      Doesn’t supporting gender/sex separated leagues existing at all imply exactly the same thing?

        no, it’s a tool used to combat the overwhelming misogyny that makes it extremely unappealing for women to participate in. It’s only effective when these orgs actually use other policies to work alongside it, which of course they never do.
