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.

    Exactly. I recently watched Lance Armstrong go off on a silly survival TV show about how trans folk should not be allowed in men/women’s sports and try to defend it with a truly pointless argument of “unless there’s overwhelming proof” bullshit.

    He almost got voted off the show for that rant alone. If it weren’t on Fox, he would have.

      The last person I want to hear from about fairness in sports is Lance Armstrong. Bloody hell, lol

        No shit. Especially on a silly celeb survival show hosted by Will Shatner.
