The Four Nations Chess League (4NCL) requires all of its first division teams to have at least one player of each gender on its roster. That’s more sympathetic than I was expecting. I wonder if they’re even allowed to set an “at least one woman” rule without running afoul of UK law.

Sexuality is not gender?
