we’re just trying to address the way that cis women are disadvantaged in chess due to centuries of misogyny in the sport. We’re not anti trans, we just can’t have cis men pretending to be trans in order to further themselves in competition.

Okay, not a fan of how you’re going about it but I can understand your goals at least

We’ll be stripping titles from trans men who competed as women and then came out later

Ah, there it is. You never have to look too far into efforts to “protect women” to see where it’s really just about hurting trans people because you can.
