The International Chess Federation (FIDE) says it is temporarily banning transgender women from competing in its women's events.

The FIDE said individual cases would require "further analysis" and that a decision could take up to two years.

The move has been criticised by some players and enthusiasts.

Many sports governing bodies have been working on policies towards transgender athletes, but chess does not involve comparable levels of physical activity.

What the unworldly fuck are you talking about? Are you taking topics from a chatbot or something?

It's like you read every fifth word and come up with a response. No one has any clue what topic you are here to post about.

Literally no one here can be arsed to read? Do you want an annotated copy? It says that, with even a 10% representation, all future female chess champions will have been born men, with male brains developed with male hormones. Women asked for their own league. Now, trans females are going to dominate in these spaces, with many not even making an attempt to pass. Nature is seldom binary or orthogonal and I don't agree with your assumption that genders are binary. These studies reveal truthful facts because scientific studies use the scientific method. You are free to cry, lose your fragile temper, be upset--but the real world will still show itself through mathematics, science and reason with cruel dispassion. One of the hall marks of fascism is the disparagement of facts and the emotional reinforcement of hateful and irrational beliefs. AI LLM word vectors for left and right political spaces are narrowing closer and closer, and a thirst for immediate satisfaction make for a rich common ground between Maga-Conservatism and Reactionary Leftists: victim complex, narcissism, cluster B personality disorders above the benchmark.

I suggest you maybe enroll in a class at your local community School regarding statistics, logic and scientific research as well as soft sciences like gender studies or feminist philosophy. I recommend Simone de Beauvoir, Ada Lovelace and Fanan, tangentially. Or you can continue being magically right 100% of the time--no need to read studies.

No need to read studies. No need for math. No need for corollary or debate when everyone already knows the answer, right? Don't look up!
