Haha what a joke, do they think anyone will take them seriously after this? Who's running FIDE, Putin?!

Alas I have no interest in chess myself, but if I did, I'd stay far, far away from bigots and fascists like this lot have revealed themselves to be.

Yikes... That's fucking gross.
Hopefully there's some kind of backlash from chess players and community figures, this is absolutely vile.

Honestly lately I'm kinda just losing hope in humanity, and wondering if LGBT folks will ever be accepted in society. Seeing what little progress we acquired over the past century or so be undone so easily is crushing.

Fuck FIDE, fuck Russia, and fuck all the ignorant, hateful bigots that keep fighting against people's very right to exist.

lol why? Why is fucking chess transphobic that’s the dumbest thing ever
