With these new rules, FIDE has managed to

Imply the mental inferiority of women
Validate the existence of transgender men
Destroy the integrity of awards record-keeping
Call transgender women men

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