Nadja Jussupow, head of the German Commission for Women’s Chess and a former champion, stated that more trans women have been entering women’s tournaments since Germany’s Self-Determination Act took effect in 2021. The Times reports that she claimed some cisgender women players were considering quitting, fearing unfair competition.

Mfw women are covertly anti-feminist. Lady, either we're equally good, as individuals, equally different/equally the same realms, or we aren't.

Same for my religious kin. Either God made us all who we are, via nature, nurture and both, or S/he didn't. We need to get over ourselves and out of our own way. Obviously including myself.
