This decision comes \u2062as FIDE aims to address \u200dthe inclusion of transgender players and the titles\u200d associated with gender in the \u2063sport.<\/p>\n<p>FIDE, the governing \u200bbody \u200dfor chess worldwide,\u2063 has provided new guidelines to handle titles such as Woman\u200b Grandmaster, Woman International Master, Woman FIDE Master, and Woman Candidate Master in light of transgender\u2063 players. According to \u2064Mediaite, these guidelines will determine the eligibility of transgender chess players \u2063in official FIDE events for women.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIn the event that the gender\u2063 was\u2064 changed from \u200ba male to a female, the player has no right to participate in official FIDE events for women until further \u200cFIDE\u2019s decision \u2063is made,\u201d the rule states. \u201cSuch decision should be based on further analysis and shall be taken by the FIDE Council at the earliest\u2062 possible \u200dtime, but not longer than within a 2-year period.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u2062 guidelines also state that if\u200b a player holds \u200bany women&#8217;s\u200d titles but \u2064undergoes a gender change to male, those titles will\u200b be abolished. However, they\u2064 can be \u2063reinstated if the person changes their gender back to \u2062female and can provide proof of ownership of \u2062the respective FIDE ID that holds the title.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe abolished women&#8217;s title \u2063may be transferred into a general title of the same or lower level \u200c(e.g., Women\u2019s Grand \u200dMaster may be transferred into FM, Women\u2019s International Master into Candidate Master, etc.),\u201d the guidelines explain. It is important to note\u2062 that there are\u200d no restrictions for individuals who have changed\u200d their gender\u2063 to play in the open section.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While women are not barred from competing in men&#8217;s events, the decision to restrict trans-identifying males from women&#8217;s\u2064 competitions is aimed at encouraging more female participation in chess. This \u200dmove by \u2063FIDE \u2064comes \u2062just before the World Cup event in Azerbaijan, where renowned players like World No. \u200d1 Grand Master Magnus Carlsen will be in attendance, as reported by Fox \u2064News.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth mentioning that the Union Cycliste Internationale\u200c (UCI),\u200b the \u2062governing body for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cycling-governing-body-defends-trans-participation-rules-after-backlash\/\" title=\"Cycling body defends trans participation rules amid criticism.\">sports cycling<\/a>,\u200b also recently announced \u2064a similar ban on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/this-is-wrong-nfl-hall-of-famer-brett-favre-slams-transgenderism\/\" title=\"NFL legend Brett Favre criticizes transgenderism, calling it \"wrong.\"\">trans-identifying males competing<\/a> in women&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cycling-organization-bans-trans-identifying-men-from-womens-bike-races\/\" title=\"Cycling group prohibits transgender men from participating in women's races.\">cycling races<\/a>, reversing their previous policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cycling-organization-bans-trans-identifying-men-from-womens-bike-races\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cycling Organization Bans Trans-Identifying Men\u200c From\u200c Women\u2019s Bike Races<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Chess Federation (FIDE) has revised its handbook, prohibiting transgender males from participating in women&#8217;s tournaments.
