(erininthemorning)The regulations, reported online by French transgender FIDE master, Yosha Iglesias, spell out a list of policy changes that apply to transgender competition in chess. Among the policy changes:
- Transgender men must relinquish their women-category titles after transitioning.
- Transgender women can keep their previous titles.
- Transgender women have "no right to compete" in the women"™s division.
- Transgender women will be "evaluated" by the FIDE Council on if they will be allowed to compete in a process that may take up to 2 years.
- FIDE can mark transgender players as "transgender" in their files.
- Gender changes must be "comply with the player"™s national laws" and may include birth certificate documents (despite many nations refusing to change transgender birth certificates)
Die Reaktionen waren entsprechend: Die machen sich zum Clown. Tatsächlich meinen die das völlig ernst. Ich kann ja vieles nachvollziehen. Auch sehr abseitige Ideen, die irgendwie in sich stimmig sind. Aber hier fehlt mir wirklich der gedankliche Ansatz, das irgendwie zu rationalisieren.
