So is your argument that women are inherently inferior at chess or…?

What you have just said is that there is a cultural difference and I agree with that. Dont confuse that with a difference based on sex, or physiology, in other words.
Obviously, men and women on a 1:1 basis have equal potential to excel at chess, based on their sex, right?

I can’t help you to understand the difference between cultural statistics and physiological potential I guess lol
What’s your suggestion? Abolish the women-only league?
You did see the numbers? I mean, what else do you need?
I weep for your (in)ability to interpret statistics.
Anyone know what the highest rated trans male and trans female chess players are? Would be interesting to know if this rule is even currently necessary.
You basically have chess and women’s chess. Anyone can play chess, both men and women, but only women can play women’s chess.
The removed the titles from transgender players who won titles in women’s chess.
I can’t find any trans men ranked, but the highest rating I can find for a trans woman is Natalia Pares Vives with a ranking of 2213, or about 325th on the chess.com women’s rankings.
