several of hte replies, including mine, note that Chess and Darts are not gender segregated*

yet this post is still up, and I doubt if any of the boosters or likers have realized how inaccurate this post is

far as I can tell, major tournaments are not gender segregated, but there are parts of the sports that are

Yesterday I replied to a toot someone posted. Their toot was boggling at how trans women were excluded from the challenging physical sport that is darts. My reply pointed out that chess is also gender segregated, at least at lower levels.

Lots of people replied to me asking why. And the reply is simple.

Men don't like being beaten by a girl. Chess is gender segregated to protect fragile men.

@Tho99 @quixoticgeek

it is true that banning TG women from wonen's play is vile

but aside from that, FIDE seems to me to be doing ok; surely you acknowledge that historically, chess has been a male dominated sport hostile to women and that we need "affirmative action" ??

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @Tho99 yes. But trans women are women. So to exclude them from the women's tournament is unacceptable behaviour.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I stand by my statement. FIDE endorses womens only tournaments and do not allow trans women to compete.
