Just...What???
I've looked into some articles (link here, and here) on this and it's honestly so confusing and extra. People'll really do anything to exclude trans people, huh.
Basically the International Chess Federation is quoted as saying that changing one's gender "has a significant impact on a player's status and future eligibility". Mmmkay. Totally.
Trans women are able to keep their titles from before they transitioned (so titles in the open category), but trans men, while not facing the same blatant banning as the women, are forced to have their pre-transition titles "abolished". Damn.
The regulations will not allow trans women to compete with other women unless they have proof they've undergone a complete transition process, which is fucking stupid especially considering the fact that that process takes time, money, and shouldn't be a requirement for anyone. Not to mention that this is literally about a fucking board game. (I know it can be an intense thinking game, so no disrespect to chess people - I'm just saying that this (trans people) really shouldn't be an issue here)
Further more, even though the International Chess Federation claims to say that they won't talk about people's transitioning, they are planning to “make an appropriate mark in the players’ database and/or use other measures to inform organizers on a player being a transgender,”. Which is so freaking unbelievable and I'm actually getting so angry right now.
I was going to make this just a silly lil post to make fun of the situation but the more I read about it, the more frustrated and hurt I got for all us transfolk out in the world just trying to live our lives when the world won't let us.
Definitely read the articles, they're both very informative. I will update if there's any way to try and petition for change or something.
EDIT: My first version of this said men's category, which was incorrect; there is a women's category and an open category.

Ежегодно с 1966 года 20 июля по инициативе Всемирной шахматной федерации (ФИДЕ) отмечается международный праздник, посвященный этой легендарной логической игре.
Шахматы любили многие писатели и поэты. В начале XIX века ими увлекались писатели-декабристы. А.С. Пушкин играл в шахматы с лицейских лет, а позже обучил этой игре свою супругу. Десятки друзей и приятелей поэта – литераторов, чиновников, общественных деятелей – были столь страстными поклонниками шахмат, что впоследствии стали членами петербургского Общества любителей шахматной игры, основанного первым русским шахматным мастером, теоретиком шахмат А.Д. Петровым.
Мало кто знает, но и М.Ю. Лермонтов не только «был счастливо одарен способностями к искусствам», был поэтом, прозаиком и драматургом, прекрасно рисовал, но и обладал блестящими математическими способностями, а также превосходно играл в шахматы...
