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.

    Wow, Fuck FIDE

    Given the current FIDE president is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_Dvorkovich

    It's not much of a surprise.

        He's a hard-core insider in Russian Politics. He was the Deputy Prim Minister under Dmitry Medvedev for years. He's been heavily involved in Moscow politics for years.

          Well Russia's recent push to make the lives of trans people worse has been after he left politics so I don't really get the connection.

            Russia has always tried to make the lives of trans people worse. It's not remotely new, it's just more prioritized now.
