They're also stripping trans men of any titles they won before they transitioned. So, trans men are men but trans women aren't women according to them.

The fact that Riley Gaines got so apoplectic about

As a person with disabilities, the “brain size” thing is astonishingly cruel to me.

So chess a complete cerebral game, is now sexual? Wow how absurd.

Nothing quite like a Fox news eugenics piece in the morning

I think it's hilarious that these bigots are arguing that women are mentally inferior to men. There's no other way to interpret their arguments.

OK! Does that mean Matt Gaetz's brain, despite his enormous head, is as tiny as his scope of reality?😳

I’m a trans woman, and also I’m a 30 year old computer programmer- I’m not going to walk onto the field with any moderate competent cis woman athlete and do anything except lose.

Never forget that tied for 5th place means that she was only the 6, 7 or 8th place LOSER in that contest, according to their own rules for life, sports and business.

I love how she says that they’re letting trans women in power lifting but not chess, as if there is one group or one person making decisions for all sports.

This woman made her skill issue the problem of the trans community lmaooo

"Im not a chess expert but I'm a woman so there!" Not only complaining about something she doesnt even care about but it also shows that its... just that they dont want trans people to do anything in proximity to them at all.

Knowing y'all disdain ol' 5th Place Gaines as thoroughly as I do makes me love your show even more.

For people who claim they don't treat trans women like women but try to police their expression, emotions, behavior etc

wild that cis women can make an entire career off of being in proximity to a trans person one time in their life and how horrifying that experience was for them

The women’s category in chess was created, so men’s feelings would not be hurt by losing to a woman on the national stage. Now men must face trans women.

Yeah. Andre the Giant was a genius and Stephen Hawking wasn't. Because HEAD SIZE 🤡🤡🤡

And listen. I’m a trans person. I understand and am perfectly fine acknowledging that there are differences between men and women and between males and females. My problem with transphobes is that they over exaggerate the differences AND the magnitude of those differences. Like, ok let’s agree that men and women have different brains. So what? Transphobes will extrapolate that these differences are SO significant that it warrants all these ridiculous, arbitrary, and oppressive segregation/discrimination. I’m not an idiot. I know we as a species have morphed our genders into somewhat “objective” realities (what some might call socialization I think). Violence and discrimination against female bodies is real, but it’s not ingrained to our fucking biology and it’s not what makes us women (I’m a trans man I will never be a woman and transphobes will just have to die mad about the fact that I exist within a female body and everyone around me calls me a man🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽) . The fact that so-called feminists have the gall to make this disgusting sexist approach to gender ideology is so beyond, it’s insane. I will always call myself a radical feminists, it disgusts me hat terfs have succeeded in tainting that word. Women and men ARE different, blond and brown hair are different, water and milk are different, red and blue are different. So, what?

Two things that right-wingers have taught me that men have an innate biological advantage in: women's chess and women's beauty pageants.

From chess to weight lifting? Repubs know what chess is?
