German chess federation refuses to exclude trans women from tournaments (CW: transphobia)

The world chess federation FIDE recently made the incredibly transphobic and mysogynist ruling to exclude trans women from competing in women's tournaments, to strip trans men of pre-transition titles and to subject trans people to a two-year long surveilance process that could lead to forced outings. The German and French chess federation have now decided to ignore this ruling. Source in German (mostly with the info from the image): https://www.queer.de/detail.php?article_id=46744

There aren't enough top level female players yet. Women's tournaments draw more money and attention. Plus there are no male-only tournaments.
