    Anyone know what the highest rated trans male and trans female chess players are? Would be interesting to know if this rule is even currently necessary.

      I can’t find any trans men ranked, but the highest rating I can find for a trans woman is Natalia Pares Vives with a ranking of 2213, or about 325th on the chess.com women’s rankings.
