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.

Begone, transphobe.

Sounds more like you're a closed minded bigot who has already made up their mind despite being shown evidence to the contrary.

It's not a very becoming look for someone who presumably wants progress for trans folk. You can't just stuff your head in the sand the moment science begins to sway a different direction. It's not how science or reality works. It's not Adam Savage's most well known catchphrase.

These are important discussions and you're literally harming trans people by acting this petulant and childish.

Criticism is not phobia. These are important discussions. Probably not by a bunch of mouth-breathers like us, but we still can talk about it.

Begone, enemy of progress.
