he has a right to express an opinion

there is also nothing wrong with dis agreeing with trans people. i and most people do aswell

stop being a bot and using the "bigot word" like all the only ultra woke people do

Definition of a bigot; "a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group."
It's not "disagreeing" with trans people. They said they "dislike trans people". It fits the literal definition of the term.

Then you're a bigot. It's not a complicated term. You're connecting some people wearing dresses and bright colours to mental illness.

I see. I can now confirm I am a bigot.

Rekt.

ok

THE EDITING IS PERFECT

The vast majority of people in Western nations believe that Trans people exist, even in the US, which has pretty bad education standards and wealth distribution for a Western country. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2022/06/28/americans-complex-views-on-gender-identity-and-transgender-issues/

That guy really doesn't understand the situation at all. Do they even play chess? Chess isn't divided by gender, there's an open and a women's section. Males have no biological advantage over females as proven in studies time and time again.

How about this: If a trans woman plays a biological woman, the trans woman has to play without the h2 pawn.

Trans women have no advantage over biological women. Everyone can play in open sections. There's just a separate women's section to encourage women to participate and to form communities of women chess players who can support and help one another improve.

okay well that's just blatant bigotry, I don't know why you're trying to deny it. Continue to ignore science to preserve your own opinions and ego.

if trans women actually have no advantage over biological women, why can't they just participate inn women's tournaments?

That's exactly why people are upset with FIDE. FIDE has banned Trans women for competing temporarily (for 2 years) while they work out a policy for Transgender chess players. Many people think this is a ridiculous/stupid policy and that's what all this controversy is about.

MrOkapi

I am guessing the FIDE transgender policy is based on a group of men deciding what is best for women. Does not usually end well.

Not sure what the Russian invasion of Ukraine has to do with this subject, though Russia's attitudes towards transgender people is pretty hostile, and FIDE is run by a Russian. Meanwhile, Russian players aren't sanctioned by FIDE (except Karjakin), and Ukrainian players are victimised doubly.

But probably best not to get sidetracked down unknowns

I found it interesting that the same people/countries that promote transgenderism, etc. also promote perpetual war in Ukraine.

So do you find it tedious that other countries supplying Ukraine are not supportive of transgenderism, like Poland? Or perhaps it is mildly frustrating that countries that have a positive attitude to transgenderism aren't sanctioning Russia, like India? Or maybe there isn't really a pattern, or anything interesting, but rather we're just talking about different things?

The issue is transgenderism in chess, not the Ukraine war

Ignoring first part...

As I said, if FIDE removes women's tournaments and women's titles, there will be no problems with transgenderism in chess.

The USA government is run almost exclusively by old white men.

The fact that Magnus Carlson would body Judit at her prime 💀

The logic!

top players are all men man, just what I see

exactly. why is the best female player 2620 and the best male 2840? theres obviously a male advantage

Not necessarily a biological advantage.

then what is it

There are a well known collection of factors for why women are underrepresented in top level chess and chess in general (and one of these factors is misogynists like yourself ).

that does not answer the question

I've already listed such factors in previous responses in this thread, I believe including to you specifically, as have many others. A quick google search will give you countless sources on what these social factors are. At this point it's on you that you aren't aware of this.

prove it

https://chess24.com/en/read/news/tkachiev-why-do-men-dominate-chess

Here's a range of scientific, official and contemporary sources. Educate yourself.

b

"If one group (female chess players) is much smaller than another (male chess players), then just by chance, one would expect that the best member of the larger group outperforms the best member of the smaller group."

No. the best player would outplay everyone else regardless of gender. it if happens to be male then so be it

"To explain this, I like to use a thought experiment. Imagine that you gather 12 people and randomly give 10 of them a blue hat and two a green hat. You then randomly assign to each person a number between 1 and 100. "

the quality of chess that you play is not random. you do better if you grind out those hours to get better. this does not correlate 

"Let’s start with the statistics. A 2008 study"

The study had nothing to do with proving women are equal in chess

"there is, in reality, very little performance gap between men and women"

magnus is currently rated 2859 (top male chess player)

hou yifan is currently rated 2629 (top female chess player)

the gap is large

"Multiple studies have found that women chess players play worse against men than against other women, while men modify their playing style when facing women – they take longer to resign against women and play riskier openings against attractive females. "

that does not mean women are the same as men, that just shows that men can play better when playing more sharper, agressive style. thats the womans problem if she cant handle that

-you are obstinately and unreasonably attached to a belief

-you are prejudiced and antagonistic towards a person who does not share the same thoughts
