0:00 thank you [Music] so we've kind of touched on this before but there's a new update so we of course have to bring the news fresh and ready to all of our fans and supporters out there all right fide aka the international Chess Federation says players who have transitioned from male to female have quote no right to participate in women's events until the Federation conducts quote further analysis and renders a final decision so they have effectively banned transgender women from competing in women's chess events pending further analysis pissed about this what's the sentiment are you pissed yeah yeah you are your sentiment don't you feel Injustice um I'll say this I wouldn't imagine there's a lot of transgender people getting upset about this is there
0:51 could be that man that's his answer we report the news here you need to take a more solid state how do you feel as a dude honestly I feel indifferent about it is that bad to say why you don't I'm not really attached I'm not attached to the chat oh well I just imagine like you don't think chess is a sport do you chess is dope but isn't it just like mental well here's not mental but here's the question the inner gender no and answer this do you believe do you believe that men have an inherent advantage over women at chess I wouldn't imagine there would be no there is those things there is yeah well I guess that's why there's a oh so they do have separate divisions yeah oh I didn't know that for real is it because of Statistics or if someone just said so no it's actually a thing yeah really well then yeah that's very simple but of I think there's already an example of
1:41 someone coming in and identifying as a female as a clear dude who yeah yeah it wasn't even trans he just said he identified but he got inside the competition to prove the difference between men and women playing chess as far as yeah that's what I want to know the advantage because when I hear that no I wouldn't imagine there would be a difference but if there's statistics there's a statistical difference yeah my question is what is the difference to how did they even come up with the difference like how is the study they got more grooves in their brain like when they have like co-ed tournaments so it's it's always a dude that wins them yeah but also um it's like you know how they time that's what I'm thinking too I think that's the same reason why less women win darts right I think more dudes just play ████ darts if you're a girl that plays darts like most that's probably hard to find like I don't know so damn it was a hit because of that
2:31 though right she came in and rocked in rocked like all the men who were basically the dominating is that based on a like a real story recorded history of Chess World Champions have always been male not female further there is currently only one woman in the top 100 chess players in the world so I think she now identifies as a man so really I don't know if it's a um like they found it yeah I don't think there is the results that where they're the Dom where the dominance is it's just not not because it's like proven like oh uh men are just better at so logic and strategy games so this is the system they created the ratio yeah yeah for for the most part most women don't play right apparently according to different types of articles that I'm not citing specifically uh males dominate the chesting and ranking in population but not because they are just more
3:22 intelligent in that sense instead the influences that affect the imbalance in chess demographics can be attributed to biological psychological social economic and cultural factors sure men design chess for men historically chess was dominated by men because it represented a physical battle it was invented when physical combat was commonplace in warfaring countries men would strategize and fight while women stayed at home where it was safer there's chess and boxing tournaments where they people box and they play Chess at the same time that's nuts it's a different part of your brain yeah more males than females play chess we've already talked about that racially uh ratio racially uh dominance in chess can mean more than one thing while the numbers of Statistics show male dominance in chess dominance should be defined it doesn't necessarily mean better it just means there are more playing chess and females however gender equality is causing a
4:13 shift in the demographic ratios represented in chess I think the more they do it it's just like gaming like in video games there weren't as many good girls but now that you know a lot of girls are streaming and ████ you get to see that there actually are more and more every day like there's just better the real answer is probably like nobody's smarter than anyone is just numbers based off of those things yeah I don't know I think in this case I would be okay if females sign up for the mail competitions because there hasn't been a like overwhelmingly disadvantage on the on uh if a girl comes through so then that's like she's actually going up against odds whereas like on the flip side he would have a disadvantage like a a Advantage so that he would be putting his opponents at a disadvantage so that would be an unfair
5:03 advantage um if a pro chess player comes in well I think it'd just be like men and women at the same ranking chess players should play together yeah yeah yeah I guess according to this like there hasn't been females at the same rank until the pool gets bigger and they can compete at the same level so then yeah I think like it's fair on the flip side if it's yeah and then they have to have a track record too so if they're just an amateur like an amateur guy that doesn't even play chess he should be able to sign up because then he's gonna get dominated yeah a transgender male or female should just be able to enter why are they Banning it that's the way that's the way although you could possibly be like if if we don't ban this then it opens up the door to like physical Sports and other things
5:54 and that conversation so yeah um I don't know I don't know also maybe maybe women don't want it maybe that could because it's in their division a big enough fight for the women too yeah it's like with that thing that happened where some guy uh said he was a woman and he entered all women poker tournament and just decimate everybody it's like they but then the point was is that the women have their own division because they just want to do it by themselves you know it's like that was the whole point of making it it wasn't that they were worse or better it was just like we just don't want guys guying up the place like they wanted a Girls Club yeah it's like Fair cool you should be able to have that if you want it but then yeah if you do that then that's no longer what they but that was more of like a we created this thing it wasn't like a tournament where it was like ranked and it was for it was for a pot it was it was like a tournament for money as a prize but are you are you
6:44 allowed to do it on the flip side though have like a gentleman's poker tournament thing and it's no girls allowed or whatever is that people do that all the time yeah you just make it yeah you just said no girls outside yeah yeah just put a sign no girl's Allowed no girls allowed there's a boys club Only yeah the national Center for transgender equality and advocacy group based in the U.S criticized the decision of course they said really chess this is so insulting to CIS women to trans women into the game itself it assumes that this woman couldn't be competitive against this man and relies on ignorant anti-trans ideas well here's the thing is like I know they have men's leagues and then women's leagues now based on this article but do they ever have a mixed League like how does that what does that look like does that happen I heard that that that makes them
7:34 it's like insulting this is so because they're like Nam like I'm just as man as you are yeah you know and then it's like so they don't want to be Special Olympics because they don't see it as like I'm not right that's fair because in their in their head that's just a man even if it's a transgender man it's like I'm not even thinking I'm sorry I should rephrase that I'm not even thinking about it before the game just more of like the actual sport like a free-for-all like like do they do that often where it's just a co-ed tournament where it's men and women and they just go and they just see well I think the reason why there's a woman's league is so that women can participate in the sports or else they'll never be allowed in it like they won't rank yeah most sports in most yeah oh so you're saying that if they just did a hey guy girl whatever you are yeah you can all enter I think that'll just end up with all guys that's the problem it's like if you just did hey everybody we're gonna do dumb contests anyone you anybody's
8:26 available things that are more mental like say poker right because when they have the World Series of Poker are you chest poker as far as the mental capacity well as far as like there's no physical element right there's no okay I don't have to box somebody out I'm like dunk on anybody I mean like like as far as like taller guys have an advantage yeah yeah yeah like because when they do the World Series of Poker it's co-ed no it's like man yeah yeah yeah it is yeah but there hasn't been but the final table's still mostly guys oh I see this no I'm pretty sure there's tournaments where there are co-ways yeah players all games are co-ed yeah because it's just about the buy-in yeah but then there there hasn't been a person yet like female that's won the World Series for sure but I think I think over time that'll change right like yeah but I would say I would argue is because there's not a lot of women right right
9:16 right not because like women can't play they have a different style of play and I've played against solid female like Nikki like she's a great player so it's like yeah I think it's like it just depends because in my head I'm like why don't they just do that for chess right I think that's the thing it's like if they do that then statistically the women will be knocked out way sooner and that's fine but as time goes on right then the maybe the as the popularity grows and more women because I think it's just more of a global exposure thing it's like if more people play chess and more people see like oh this is an Avenue where I could do this and it'll allow more people to be like oh and maybe more women would be like oh maybe I'll do this later in life I thought the women's sports I thought women sports and women's like leagues and all that it started because of women to protect separate like yeah and it the whole
10:07 point was yeah for them to be able to participate and enjoy it and have their own leagues and all that and I thought that yeah that was the original like goal but then if you make it all co-ed then it does make it so they can well it's the difference between that's true the mentality of a sport and the physicality of a sport right like so something like chess and poker there's no physicality yeah involved your face my whole thing is like all right but we're talking about like in comparison to like football or soccer or something you know because I think there's a world where can all exists right men divisions women divisions and then co-ed divisions like because I'm sure there's some gangster chicks that are like yo I want to ████ compete against the boys I want to see how good I am right right so why not right yeah I just I think that's an easy fix don't you think or am I just tripping maybe it does it already exists
10:57 I think so one is just a anybody division yeah I think they already exist I think the conversation is now in a new gray area of inclusivity to transgender people or people who are identifying as a specific one for sure yeah and I think that conversation opens up the door to other sports oh well other sports like for example like this marathon is co-ed uh Spartan Race like all those yeah yeah they they don't but the thing is when you're signing up for that you're already choosing to sign up for the code division now that the conversation is what about the people who were born One Way choosing to identify the other and then going into that individual category that's the difference so that's that's why that's why for example World Aquatics which we've talked about here before as well has recently launched a new open category which will welcome swimmers of all sex and gender identity in order to address that particular thing where they also
11:47 voted to restrict the most transgender athletes from competing in Elite women's Aquatics competitions last year you know what I'm saying so they're trying to address the issue and as a result are creating new spaces to allow this really unique new not saying transgender is like new but like the the conversation about it and how it's at least in sports exactly physically dominated Sports yeah because we want fairness is a big Topic in any type of sport right you want to make sure that all platforms are fair to a degree so yeah I think creating a new division or a division for chess it's like just do co-ed but that's that's the touch the touchy part of it is as simple as the bathrooms it's like if they're saying we didn't want an all-gender restroom we wanted to use the men's restroom then what can you say right so I don't know ████ tough ████ dude
