It's quite astonishing that FIDE managed to be not only transphobic but also sexist and idiotic at the same time.

Almost deserves a medal

That's the thing about stupidity, it has a lot of comorbidities.

Let’s not discount how many smart/educated bigots there are. Many members of the GOP in the US went to an Ivy League school and are smart in their own right. They aren’t all ignorant, many are just bad people.

I agree but also school doesnt exactly indicate smartness.

Transphobia is sexism.

And sexism is idiotic.

Chess and sexism go hand in hand like Bobby Fischer and antisemitism.
