With these new rules, FIDE has managed to

Imply the mental inferiority of women
Validate the existence of transgender men
Destroy the integrity of awards record-keeping
Call transgender women men

Very nice, FIDE, incredible mental gymnastics performance! 👏 Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.

I really wish posts like this included more interesting discussion, instead of 90 % of people just white knighting how shocked they are and how awful this is!

Yea we get it after the first comment, you don't need to post the same shit over and over.

My personal genuine question is to women, how they feel about transgender women in their sports? For physical sports I'd imagine it matters even more.

Chess is just a brain game so it really shouldn't matter at all, but I'd still love to womens opinion on the subject.
