None of y'all are getting it. Trans women have an unfair advantage in chess because they can turn the king into another queen.

That would put the chess judges into a paradox and their mind would lock up, requiring a visit to the ICU. Because trans pepople can only do that, thay are "a danger to the whole chess community" /s
