I've been kinda following this on and off, and the funniest thing to me is that iirc, most female chess masters are like, "we'll play against trans girls if they wanna play us. We'll even play against trans boys too!"

It's the Men who are like, "nuuuuhhhh.... muh.... muh womens"

It's really the most fair sport in terms of biological differences, like you can be a teenager or a grandpa or a grandma or disabled or poor or rich and still kick asses at chess, what the fuck can be their argument for separating genders??

If biological differences were the actual issues, phelps would not have been allowed to compete without ankle surgery, an arm reduction, and lactic acid producing drugs active to level the playing field. Biological advantage isn't the issue, prejudice is.

They're quite literally arguing that they need misogyny in chess because of all the misogyny in chess. Because women are actively discouraged from participating the solution they've come up with is a separate women's league where the dainty little dames are protected from their superiors. It's fucking garbage.
