Quote tweet by Riley Gaines in response to Erin Reed pointing out her support for banning trans women from chess. It reads: “Of course I do. I worked alongside leadership within to make sure of it.

It is not appropriate or practical for us to request proof or adjudicate the validity of a person’s gender identity, just as we would and could not ask every single one of our 8 million registered participants to evidence other stated details, whether that be their name, age, postcode or activity level. Our position, therefore, is that we publish results based on a person’s self-declared information, including gender.
