I keep seeing people say this let me explain why I strongly support keeping a women's league in chess given its current um... condition.
If my HS had a "women's chess team" I might have stuck with it.
When you have extreme sexism so much that almost no women even show up it's a good first step. Likewise their policy of making the other division "open" rather than "mens" was also good IMO.
But it seems obvious to me that trans women would be welcomed in the women's division. 1/
