I'm trying to branch out music wise and listen to different genres than the usual top 40. In doing so I found a band called Shinedown thanks to Spotify. The songs I am really into right now are: Monsters I'll Follow You Second Chance (the only song that's reached the UK top 100) Devil

There is actually the gay games and EuroGames where LGBT+ athletes can participate. However, not in an official Olympic event. It's not as if there's a shortage of trans athletes around if certain organisations wish to do a mass study.

@Youth in Asia - My parents play Padel Tennis when they are out in Spain and they love it. Also it's very clear they don't ban trans women to "protect the game/competition" or whatever because people who run chess are banning trans women now. All you need for chess is knowledge about the game, luck and strategy. Nothing about agility and testosterone levels etc. It doesn't need to be gender based. I understand when it comes to things like athletics because fair play is needed, but chess?
