Chess “is diverse and inclusive,” the German Chess Federation said in rejecting calls for a ban on trans competitors.

I don’t agree that that is the motivation. You’re confusing cause and effect. The competition space is dominated by men because of social and cultural norms, which is why they made a women’s division. It’s not so there’s “less pressure”, it’s so the entire top level of the competition isn’t entirely men and there’s actually a meaningful competition for both groups.
How does anything you just said preclude trans-women in the women’s division? Again, they have the same social and cultural barriers, and are entitled to the same space. The only reason to disagree, is if you don’t believe they’re women. If that’s the case, say it with your chest.

I’m glad you’ve decided the social experience of every trans-woman for her. That makes sense.
