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! 👏 Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.

    The act of conferring with only a subset of that group

    Cis women are stakeholders, I didn’t mean to imply that they are the only stakeholders That may be lack of clarity on my part. I definitely did not mean to suggest that ONLY cis women’s opinions matter, or should be considered in rulemaking.

    I offered that as a counterpoint to the assertion that the opinion of cis women is morally equivalent to the opinion of racists.

    Again, I don’t really know how or if women chess players (cis or trans) were solicited for their opinions on these rule changes.
