    Which may be the case but 1. Is the disparity between men and women mental abilities on the same level as their physical abilities? 2. Even if it is with physical sports the consequences of mixed play could result in actual injury (wrestling, mma, basketball, boxing, football...etc) but those consequences don’t exist for sports like chess. For those wanting totally mixed sports mixing just mental sports seems like a good compromise imo

    I don't think you are the judge of what I comprehend and your dodges note again as usual. Who would have thought a man was going to compete in women's cycling?

    Can you even comprehend what might happen if a male college or pro-baseball player steps up to the plate on a women's softball field and hit a linedrive right at the pitcher? How competitive will the average female weight lifter be with an average male weight lifter? A male marathon runner competing against women? The last Boston Marathon the top woman doesn't even make it into the top 100 male competitors.

    The disparity seems less, but there are only 7 women among the top 500 players. Perhaps the FIDE doesn't want to discourage women by forcing them to compete with men.

    what is the sex of the baby
    and
    what is the gender of the baby

    both can mean the same thing

    same gender marriage

    That’s fair... though I think integrating competitions like darts snooker chess billiards sailing and such would a. Be compromise and b. Give a taste of what fully integrating full contact sports might entail without any real physical consequences

    And (c) make female athletes a thing of the past as they would be completely destroyed and outcompeted.

    I think it is primarily due to women wanting a seperate championship for their gender for whatever reason there might be and partially due to the fact that not many women at all are intetested in chess.

    Anyone who lives as a male until adulthood and then chops off his penis should not be allowed to compete as a woman.

    Just because they're not speaking out doesn't mean that they accept this lunacy. I have to assume that they don't accept it one little bit, but are just too scared to speak out, out of fear of being labelled transphobic. Even any hardcore SJW's among them must surely not be altogether comfortable with this situation. And as for the any who call themselves feminists, well, if they think that a man is actually a women, then they're not very good feminists!

    What about if they transition before adulthood?

    If they transition before puberty, and never have male hormones change their body structure, that might be a different case.


    That would be more fair than if Arnold Schwarzenegger cut off his pecker and competed in women’s body building tournaments.

    A little tweak , most likely would make female athletes in sports such as billiards darts and chess a thing of the past. The people wanting full blown integration would see how bad an idea that is without women getting seriously
