[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chess is generally a coed sport, [b]but there are categories for men and for women for a reason. Right?[/b] Since there are those categories, then they should be upheld and supported. [b]The majority of chess tournaments are open to all participants regardless of gender. Very few, if any, international tournaments are restricted to men, but a few are restricted to women, most prominently the Women's World Chess Championship and the Women's Chess Olympiad.[/b] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_chess#[/quote] I don't think there's any very good reason for the categories. Just tradition and inertia. Certainly not a rationale that provides any compelling reason for going out of the way to exclude trans-women. The cost/benefit here is almost entirely on the cost side of the ledger. [/quote]
