Rugby, swimming, track and field — transgender women have been banned from international women's events in a growing number of sports. The latest to make that list is chess.
The International Chess Federation, known as FIDE, will effectively stop allowing transgender women from participating in women's competitions until "further analysis" can be made — which could take up to two years.
The organization will also remove some titles won by players who won in women's categories and later transitioned to male. It will also remove some titles won by transgender men. The new policies are slated to go into effect on Monday.

"Under new guidelines, transgender people will still be allowed to compete in the "open" section of tournaments, where men and women typically compete against one another."
Seems like an equitable solution.

Interesting. I would not have expected that but making a category in which they can compete is the right thing to do
