Saying gender is binary is like saying there are only two types of apples, red and green.
There are two types of apples, red apples and non-red apples. D'ya see? Everything in the universe either is a banana or it is not, all is binary.
chess/similar games/sports :
Women
Open
I don't think I quite understand..
Is what the other person said. Paralels happen in certain game/sport categorizations, with women being a defined grouping, and all else (including women) being put into the open/other category.
Are they really having a "womans chess competition"? that sounds like a joke...

nope.
The goal is to improve the women's experience and make it more feasable as a career choice for the best women. Sometimes it gets controversial, even among women, but it's a noble idea until women and men are evenly represented in top tournaments.
Notable female players that reached near the level of the top men include Judit Polgar (Peak ranking : 8th worldwide) and Hou Yifan (Peak ranking 55th worldwide).
There is no physical gender/sex/whatever based reason why women underperform compared to men, so until societal/environmental factors change, trying to enable more women to reach higher levels with incentives seems good. They are not barred from the open category (which people mistakenly call "mens'" sometimes) , so they can choose which tourney they attend. Some "open" (I've now realised open can have two meanings, I am only referring to tourneys that can be played by any gender, not the opposite of invite based) tourneys even make a point to request the female world champ participate.
I've written lots about this in the past, but don't have much time now
Quantum physics would like a word
Quantum physics doesn't exist, it is invented by physics professors to sell you more quants
Something is in a quantum superposition state or it isn't, absolute binariness.
just fyi that's kinda the worst comparison you can make: The whole point of quantum physics is that it revolves around quanta, discrete states with no continuum between them. Best case it implies that there are a lot of genders, but it still implies each gender is its own distinct thing completely different from the other ones.
There are two types of apples: Red Delicious and edible
Perfect, case closed.
I see you have never read the definitive apple ranking site and the Rome Apple review.
because you mention apples i'm physically forced to share this trivia; There are two types of apple: Regular ones, and dessert ones. We're used to dessert apples, ones that are sweet enough to just take a bite out of. For most of history we only really had normal apples, which taste like shit and are basically only usable for cider and using in cooking.
