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! ๐Ÿ‘ Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.

Wow, Fuck FIDE

Given the current FIDE president is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_Dvorkovich

It's not much of a surprise.

    Does he have a history of conservative nonsense or something?

    He's a hard-core insider in Russian Politics. He was the Deputy Prim Minister under Dmitry Medvedev for years. He's been heavily involved in Moscow politics for years.
