Unless you move your pieces around with your genitals, there is no goddamm good reason for CHESS COMPETITIONS to ban transgender players.

I MEAN COME THE FUCK ON.

@JenWojcik is this actually an issue somewhere? You are right; zero rationale.
@DanadasGrau I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't...
@JenWojcik yeah, that first part was mostly a rhetorical question
@DanadasGrau I'm feeling pretty literal tonight.
@JenWojcik I saw the article in the independent after I read your post.
@JenWojcik they are implying that there is some innate advantage in the brains of men and trans women over the brains of cis women. It seems trans masc. playing in the mens division is not an issue though. Wonder why that is?
