They got that Bobby Fischer mentality
"We have to make sure that cis women don't play against anyone other than cis women, because we're pretty sure cis women aren't as good at chess as anyone else"
That's not how it works. Women compete in open tournaments too (so no restrictions there on who's entering) but there are women only tournaments they can choose to enter or are invited to.
