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! 👏 Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.

You're being downvoted by noodle-arm nerds who haven't competed in any kind of sport since they got their last participation trophy in 2nd grade and think downvotes on an irrelevant platform like Lemmy is the same as social justice.

I know. As soon as you question the "agenda" at all you get attacked by the usual suspects. Whatever. It’s clear that when people get mad an insult you that you’ve struck a nerve. They can’t handle it.
