Good for them.

Bowing to the current trend? The current trend is to freak out over trans-people.

I don't know anyone "freaking out" over trans-persons. I do, however, know many who are growing sick and tired of having this nonsense front and center all the time. YOu want to change your name, wear a dress, wear pants, etc., go right ahead. But demanding that everyone accommodate you in all aspects of your journey is immature and obnoxious.

"Nonsense?" Your lack of empathy is sociopathic.

Oh, that's convincing. Now I will accede to demands that all aspects of anyone and everyone's journey is accommodated at the international level...

There's a lot of distance between "the issues of transgender people is nonsense" and "acceding to all aspects of everyone's demands." The fact that you pretend not to understand that underscores your lack of empathy.

There is no distance. Either you believe males can become females and vice versa or not. Simple.

I thought the issue was gender not sex?

Gender is nothing more than cultural and social attitudes about being a male or female (sex). Gender is often based on harmful sex stereotypes and should be abolished.

That would solve the trans issue but I don't think that's what you have in mind because trans people would cease to exist.

For all of you who think this policy is just transphobia or whatever and are throwing tantrums, how many girls in conservative countries do you want to drop out of chess? All the Muslim ones? African ones? What is the price you want the girls to pay so mostly American and European, mostly white adults born as male get what they want?

Do you understand anything about international chess development for girls? Or do you just not care?

They don't care.

I simply don’t understand how anyone can be so cruel. There’s not a lot of acceptance of being transgender as it is and it’s gratuitous to keep piling on.

Replace "transgender" with "black" and step back 70 years and nothing would have changed.

There are so many people on this forum who would be dumping milkshakes on sit-in protestors and cheering the dogs and fire hoses if they had been born in the 1930s.

They'll try to tell you "oh no, I'd be all for civil rights if I was around back then, but this trans thing is different!"

It's not, and they wouldn't, but it's what they have to tell themselves to believe they're good people despite their bigoted beliefs.

Yeah. Cutting off body parts because you were born in the wrong body is similar to being black.

You must be out of your mind.

How they are treated by people like you sure is similar.

No. It's people like you who are fake sympathizers to the struggles and history of black people in this country. You use black people to make silly analogies that are completely off base.

Leave black people out this.

Ha -- you sound like DeSantis when he fought all the intersectional stuff in that AA History course and he was demonized for doing so

No, thank you. I am a woman, not a female person.

Correct. A woman, which is an adult human female.

Transgender is an intentionally meaningless term; everyone on the planet is transgender to some extent. Transsexual is a somewhat more precise term but still misleading because it falsely implies that humans can change sex.

I don't think it's intentionally meaningless but I would agree that as a political issue people intentionally muddy the water on whether something is a sex or gender issue.

+1. The girls from conservative countries would be prohibited from participating by their governments. You would be taking away their opportunity.

You're crazy.

Most girls and women worldwide have nothing to do with this US stupid anti-science fad.

So that’s a check in the “I don’t care about those girls” column then. Got it.

Um because this essentially didn’t exist until 10 years ago?

Technically true, but the end result is the same.
