You misunderstood. Fide doesn’t consider transwomen women. So transwomen have to play in the open tournaments (not men’s), and not in women’s. The fun part, is that if you’re a transman, Fide doesn’t consider you a woman either. So you also must compete only in open tournaments (not men’s) and you can’t keep your women’s titles like WGM and WIM. There are no male only tournaments. If a transman detransitions, then they count as a woman again, and can have their women’s titles. You’d think they’d be consistent, but no.

FIDE, the international governing body for chess, is a shit, utterly corrupt organization that has been captured by Russia for years. The French chess federation, Canada, and even the USA have actually been supportive of trans players.

Anything cool about drinking vodka in a shower? I see eating oranges in showers, but vodka? Nah, better after the shower.
