This has mostly been reported as "trans women banned from women's chess" but it's much more sinister. (as if it weren't already.)
ALL trans people are targeted by this ruling. Trans men will be stripped of all chess titles won, which can only be returned to them by “changing the gender back to a woman” (from the ICF’s ruling). ALL transgender chess players will be marked as trans in their files.
If you play or know anyone who does take a stand on this. It's ugly.
In that case the International chess org have NO right to call them selves a federation then. In star trek the federation is made up on many different people, from different planets across the Alpha Quadrant, all working together and respecting tolerance, inclusion and collaboration in the name of peace, and improvement of knowledge etc.
Here on Fedi we are similar and welcome #Trans people equally,
So this chess federation is nothing of the sort when it comes to tolerance and inclusion.
