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! ๐Ÿ‘ Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.

The problem is that the way sports is funded is through competition and you can't have competition without competitors. Small categories are inefficient and will be removed as a business decision. Also it's kind of meaningless to say "I'm the best in X category" when there are 3 people in that category.
