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.

Do you think that activities that are dominated by a certain gender are that way "naturally", or would you maybe agree that societal factors and sexism play a role too? The idea of "just leave things alone and let people do what they want" often ignores the subtle way that men and women are encouraged towards or discouraged away from those activities.
