I read into this and apparently women can enter any regular men's tournament. A sperate Women Only series was created because some women felt uncomfortable playing against males due to sexism and other issues. Trans women are now banned from that Women Only series.

There's potentially a male advantage because, on average, men have much greater visual-spatial ability, while women have greater verbal ability. That means that the typical man can visualize things and move objects around in his head more clearly and easily than the typical woman can. Again, this is just the average; there are indeed women that have greater visual-spatial ability than most men and most women. And for all we know, women may be able to use some sort of alternate strategy when playing chess as opposed to picturing all the possible moves in their head.
The explanation of having a women's league due to comfortability or something of that nature makes a lot of sense, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if women participating in chess had nothing to do with these average differences in cognitive ability. And for all we know, trans women might skew towards the average verbal and visual-spatial ability of ciswomen. --- I make a topic in Final Fantasy 12 to ask if Tifa! They said no Tifa.

I think it's because women have brains more suited to detecting colors and patterns from when we were evolving in the nomadic days. From like, berry picking and stuff. So the checkerboard pattern is probably a bit disorienting for them? You never seen checkerboard patterns out in the wild. Males would have an innate advantage over them in chess because of that ...

Why is there male and female categories of Chess ? tl;dr to encourage women to play why? society treats women chess players like absolute shit, and encourages competition in children in a highly gendered way. why are the best gymnasts women? we reward that in a girl and punish a boy, even through microaggressions, for the same thing. chess was historically HIGHLY GENDERED, women were assaulted, excluded, mocked and harassed in chess clubs for 100+ years so, yes, NOW, that's why we have the women's league. --- --- ...

also there aren't divisions, people misunderstand:
almost everyone plays in the "open" categories women, additionally, can play in women's-only events. it's important to note, there are fucking shittons of chess events all the time, all over the world the women's league is more of a side-thing because the international governing body (FIDE) wants to actively encourage women to play chess. WHEN we have achieved gender equality THEN the WOMEN of chess can decide to get rid of their women's league. everyone else: literally stop acting like you suddenly give a shit about women's chess. --- --- ...
