Middle-aged nerd who is really bad at describing himself. I don't boost as often as I should, but when I do you'll know it's a good one. Or at least silly.

Well, that's enough of that, then. For mental health reasons, I'm putting #debate, #PresidentialDebate, #USPol, Biden, and Trump all on mute for the next 24 hours. Depending on what starts popping up again tomorrow, it may go back up.

This news has caused some people to ask why "women's chess" even exists -- women can compete in the open tournament. The women's competitions were a recognition of just how far behind chess is when it comes to cultivating and welcoming female players.

Not that shocking they are even more far behind when it comes to even knowing what that would mean. (Not trans women.)

But all this misses the bigger point. They don't want any trans people at all in the game.

nostr:npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 What is, instead of "women's chess" they called it "inclusive chess". Or maybe "non-bigoted chess". Make treating other people like crap grounds for expulsion from a tournament with repeat offenders getting banned.
