When did sexuality mattered in a game of chess? Like do trans people get a buff at thinking or something?

The men can only move 1 square in any direction, while women can move anywhere on their row/column/diagonal. Clearly this biological difference is why they have separate men's and women's chess tournaments. Also, I hear trans people can double jump.

Not all of them. Pawns are women, too, because they can be promoted to queens but not to kings. They can also be promoted to bishops, which means that women are accepted into clergy by chess' church.

The king also is a queen so that's not fair

Men automatically get a +10 masculity buff. It's widely considered an overpowred stat in chess.

Yeah, but that doesn't make it right.

Never said it did. I'm answering your question. When did sexuality matter in game like chess? A very long time, because misogyny.

I agree you never said it did. You just stated what has been happening.
