NO FREE SLOTS IN SUIT INVENTORY

That would be a big plus though.

What size? Normal or big (futomaki)?

Sideways.

I'm actually this kind of person, and sometimes I wish I had asked others for help.

I feel like I never actually helped anyone so I do not deserve anything.

Old person? Some seem to have a grudge against backpacks.

You just have to make sure you bleed faster than the bacteria or whatever can swim in.

And that is your opinion.

Again, you are missing the point. It's that the point of a protected space for women is to promote women's participation in chess, not to overly tout their position over others.

And no, this does not have to do with the intelligence curve. It's entirely about careers and participation.

Come to think about it, maybe it's probably similar to how weight classes work in martial arts, except that the point of this is to guarantee that women can progress somewhat within their careers.

Of course I do not agree that we need to elevate or celebrate them to the level of grandmasters.

In a specific case of transgenders, I understand that transgender women are excluded until an official statement of medical or psychological evaluation has been made, to prevent cases where men illicitly transition just to play in these, and pardon my sexism, weaker leagues.

You know what, I also hate these women's only scholarships and accelerated education programs too, but I was just speaking the way of the world, not my opinions.

Based on my position in STEM education as a lecturer I am not allowed to have opinions. (Not until I receive full prof.)

That isn't the problem. The problem is how it has been naturally male-dominant makes it naturally unfriendly to other groups in the first place.

Not everyone is comfortable with this. By a large margin. The dedication of an event for women only creates that comfort zone.

This situation, and I humbly state I mean no fallacy, is strikingly similar to STEM education. Nobody is preventing them from joining, nobody cares if anyone likes it or not, but the fact that it is dominated by a specific group in the "open" field makes it less appealing to the other groups.
