Transgender women banned from women's chess events: The ruling by the International Chess Federation is drawing criticism from some players.
bbc.com/news/world-66538328
Quick Glance: Transgender Women Excluded from Women's Chess Events
- Many sports governing bodies are working on policies for transgender athletes, but chess does not require comparable levels of physical activity.
- Yosha Iglesias, a transgender woman professional chess player holding the FIDE rank of chess master, stated that the policy would cause "unnecessary harm" to trans players and women.
- UK MP Angela Eagle, joint winner of the 1976 British Girls' Under-18 chess championship, argued: "There is no physical advantage in chess unless you believe men are inherently more able to play than women - I spent my chess career being told women's brains were smaller than men's and we shouldn't even be playing."
- FIDE also announced that trans men who had previously won women's titles would have their titles abolished.
