The ban on #trans women in #chess is hitting me particularly hard.
I'm a chess enthusiast (in keeping with my careful curated rep as an expert strategist).
It's just this wtf moment that pulls the wind right out of my sails.
I know really well that lots of folks don't like us. But ... how are we ever gonna overcome a level of pure unhinged bigotry that says we can't be trusted play chess?
Obviously ALL women should be insulted by this move.
