    So if Magnus undergoes HRT and is now a female, and he starts competing against other women (which is actually banned by FIDE) would it be an even playing field? Or would Magnus stomp.thrm because he’s actually that much better?

    Those are the situations that these rules need to consider.

    I don’t understand why you think I’m a misogynist. I want women to compete against each other on an even playing field. Fuck me right?

      HRT has been conclusively demonstrated to eliminate that advantage after 1-2 years on it.

      A 1-2 year wait and a hormone check are reasonable to require. A total ban is not.
