Also worth noting that trans women are also barred from women's-only tournaments, because international chess is governed by reprehensible people.

Yeah that’s vile.
FIDE is a reactionary institution.
Some federations are better. The USCF has made an attempt not to be transphobic. Players registered with them can submit and change their own gender identification. The Norwegian Chess federation is also cool and has been lobbying lobbying FIDE to stop being shitlords. Federations also have their own title systems and some have women’s titles.
