Didn't a male chessplayer enter a women's tournament covered in Islamic garment to disguise himself, and obliterated everyone? I'm not arguing against you, I just remember seeing something about that.

    And?

    Men were already bared from women's chess.

    no idea what is your point.

    Well not really a point, but if it's the case then well trans women genetically have male brains and there for unfairly "better" at chess. Again, I'm not saying that IS the case. Any competition/sport that doesn't need separation because of, for example, unfair physical advantages, shouldn't have it either.

    I think the gender separation in Chess isn't there because anatomical difference.

    but to encourage women to play more, given some chess clubs were sausage parties. so whatever terfy reason about any 'advantage' doesn't apply.

    its not even entirely the sausage party thats the problem, its the historic misogyny of chess players. it really discourages women to start playing chess when everyone playing is a man who thinks theyre too stupid to play and constantly reminds them of it.
