They have open (both) and women categories.Chess seperates male and female players?
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });

I think that’s what they’re proposing.
There’s no proposal they could make that people wouldn’t protest against.Hmm, so trans men can compete with cis men, but trans women can't compete with cis women? People will surely protest against that proposal too.
That is true, but I think that this proposal genuinely might cause more protests. Sometimes consistent and complete injustice is better than half-measures.There’s no proposal they could make that people wouldn’t protest against.
Why?They have open (both) and women categories.
To encourage more women to play chessWhy?
Cause male players are far better at chess than females. There has been no female who was a world champion in open category, and only one ever in top 10.Why?
Yep fair - is it only recent they've added this category or has it always been split?To encourage more women to play chess
Yeahhhh, but there's nothing that makes a male inherently better at a game like chess, it's just about interest/access surely?Cause male players are far better at chess than females. There has been no female who was a world champion in open category, and only one ever in top 10.
I guess almost surely, yes. Same how males in general are more successful scientists, politicians, or company owners. Probably to do a lot with encouragements kids get, so a social construct engrained in our society.Yeahhhh, but there's nothing that makes a male inherently better at a game like chess, it's just about interest/access surely?
For the same reason women "don't like" video games and coding. Once a space becomes too male dominated, particularly by the nerdy kind, it's not very tempting to join. For various reasons.Why don't women like chess!?
Harsh on @altodevilFor the same reason women "don't like" video games and coding. Once a space becomes too male dominated, particularly by the nerdy kind, it's not very tempting to join. For various reasons.

Unfortunately it is also the Hispanic vote that is assisting Republicans in those two states (more pronounced in FL).Republicans trying to score political points with evangelicals by attacking a minority is pretty much their core ideology at this point.
They desperately want liberals to move from Texas and Florida so that they don't end up losing every future presidential election. Those states have been trending towards Democrats for a good while. Their politics is very blatant and cynical.

The whole "problem" related to trans women in bathrooms is so artificial from a legal standpoint. I mean, isn't there only stalls or other individual locked spaces in women's bathrooms anyway? That should make sure no-one sees anything they don't want to, if everyone behaves. And if someone wanted to show their genitals in a bathroom that would a) Probably already be illegal, and b) Not exactly require anyone to be transgender.Tweet

Forget income inequality and gun deaths, let's punch down on marginalised groups and use the word 'woke' as loudly and frequently as possible.Tweet
