They think trans women have an unfair advantage in... fishing?

Three members of an English women’s fishing team in England are refusing to compete at the world championships due to the fact that one of their own teammates is trans.

The Shore Angling World Championships will take place in Italy in November, and the board of the sport’s governing body, the Angling Trust, has said it will not prevent trans angler Becky Lee Birtwhistle Hodges from applying to compete.

I am very much failing to see how the chess thing makes any sense...

It seems that the chess association that did that is operating from a sexist stance of "men are inherently more logical than women" which led to their transphobic stance of "trans women are not to play ciswomen"

Am I missing something? How does it make sense?
