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! ๐Ÿ‘ Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.

Well Russia's recent push to make the lives of trans people worse has been after he left politics so I don't really get the connection.

Russia has always tried to make the lives of trans people worse. It's not remotely new, it's just more prioritized now.
