The world’s top chess federation has ruled that transgender women cannot compete in its official events for females until an assessment of gender change is made by its officials.

Because as we've proven times and times again when in presence of women, we're a bunch of morons that can't treat them with the respect they deserve.

Why do girls need a safe environment when playing with boys?

Chess got an open class and a female class. The latter is there to provide a safer environment for girls and hopefully encourage more to try out the sport.

Silly question, why does chess, a mental activity, need gendered leagues?

Lol, literally the only game where physical size, bone density, lung capacity and muscle strength does not matter is keeping men and women separate! Haha... In chess there should be no separate category for women, unless.... Unless.... Unless we believe that women are less smarter than men.
