Comment on [2023] Some Transgender Women May Be Barred From Women’s Chess Competitions

Did I say otherwise? I simply explained why “gendered chess tournaments” were ever a thing in the first place. There’s nothing for you to disagree with, so weird start.
So you can’t really blame this one on Trump if you have a problem with it.
When did I do that? Okay, I’m beginning to think you didn’t even read my comment before replying.

As is usual in a public discussion, the thread including my post isn’t entirely about you.

Well, nothing you’ve said is relevant to my comment, so perhaps you shouldn’t have replied to me? We’re done here.

Maybe you should avoid posting in public forums if you don’t like the responses.
