I find it bizarre that it's 2023 and not only is chess still gender-segregated but they're doubling down on it. It makes sense for physical sports, but chess? Really?

Y'all just scared the girls are gonna wipe the board with you.

It makes sense for physical sports

Even that I don't get. Why not just make a bunch of leagues to separate people by skill, and let everyone play in whatever league they fit in skill whise regardless of gender.

That completely eliminates the problem with trans womens "unfair advantage" when playing in the womens league too.
