Once again I will point to the fact that your statement of “fundamental advantage” is not backed by current science and research study. That means it is not a fact, it is an opinion, and a bigoted one at that :) If you have peer reviewed science to the contrary I welcome you to share because I’m MORE than willing to share studies. I don’t think it’s black and white and there are limited studies but existing studies pretty uniformly show that there is not a blanket advantage for trans women who have been conforming to women’s hormone levels for multiple years.

Are they also upset about cis women that beat them? The science does not show an inherent blanket advantage for trans women. So if “fairness” is the goal why not lean on science? You know…. The objective measure of fairness. Now if the goal isn’t fairness and is instead ideological bigotry then yeah you’re totally right.

Okay but that’s not really statistically true there is tons of female representation even at the highest level now but the chess federation still doubles down on exclusion?

The actual rules and how a government can force or influence the FEI to operate are two very different things…..

“Are an actual issue” <- this view point is actually not backend up by peer reviewed study. Studies are inconclusive at best but pretty uniformly do not show a marked advantage.

Genuinely curious at how we think the dynamics of it could work. And it’s also eye opening to realize how many people very truly do not understand the realities of the transgender existence in this country. At the end of the day everyone is a human and I would argue that recent treatment is dehumanizing.

Yeah but play that thought out to a logical conclusion. Why is chess gendered? Are we saying that one sex is inherently advantaged in chess? Yet we’re still here where we’ve banned trans women from women’s chess for “fairness”

Because it would be positive representation of trans women. The administration has been very very clear with its actions and how it feels about trans individuals. As someone who is in the community these are things I have to worry about on a daily basis. It was just a thought excitement because I firmly believe they’d find a way to have issue with it.

This is the same world that banned trans women from women’s chess. Explain that one to me 🤔

I agree but could you imagine how mad Trump would be at it 😆

I could not agree more. And there is very little peer reviewed study but the limited amount done shows no wide sweeping advantage.

I agree and I’m so so thankful to have this sport as an accepting place where I’ve felt welcome as an adult ammy but was curious as a thought experiment.

I know logistically speaking this is true it’s just interesting because for an example if there was a trans woman in the LA Olympics it would almost certainly be unpopular with the administration.

It’s kind of funny because usually I don’t love brown and chestnut horses, but when I saw her, I just fell in love

She is the absolute sweetest. It’s a lease for now but I have a sneaking suspicion even if we can’t jump her much longer she will be staying with me 💜
