Can I become a WGM if I say I am transgender?

I do wish you luck, though I don’t know how you are rated so high on lichess, as your games here don’t seem consistent with that. (Unless lichess has a slightly different rating system..?) also that’s really cool you train with a GM. And just remember, GM is the highest level, most GM’s were at least candidate masters before their 10th birthday. So while it’s good to aim high, I wouldn’t say it’s very reasonable for most. But look, if you do it, I’ll be very impressed.

A chess.com rating is usually 200 points or so higher than a Lichess rating I believe, so 1400 Lichess is 1200 Chess.com. Whenever learning a new opening, I come to Chess.com, or if I feel like fooling around. I am also a pretty bad 1800 lol
Its more a dream than a reality, and chess is absolutely my passion. I may not be the best, but its what is keeping me going. I would be happy reaching FM, or being an untitled 2000 rated player.
That sounds more reasonable, have fun✌️💕
First biological cheetah who identifies as a woman set to take gold at Tokyo Olympics. Her cousin Coco to compete in the men's division.
TOKYO—The first ever biological cheetah who identifies as a woman is set to take gold at the Tokyo Olympics next week for Lichtenstein.
The runner, who goes by the name Rita, has smashed all European sprinting records and is poised to win Olympic gold in record fashion.
Some have raised concerns about the first ever trans-human competing in the games after Rita mauled several of her opponents in the Commonwealth games earlier this year, but the Lichtenstein Olympic Committee Chair says that those problems are behind her.
“Rita is just one of a kind. I’ve never thought I would see a woman run at nearly 60 miles an hour. Sure, she’s had her ups and downs as a sprinter, but she deserves this chance to become the fastest woman alive,” LOC Chair Fritz Bernhardt said.
Rita will likely be the favorite in the competition, while just two years ago, she was relaxing on the African savannah, eyeing delicious zebra meat.
“It’s been an amazing journey. One that will go down in history,” Bernhardt said.
“People say, that cheetah is a cheater,” Rita said through a translator in her first press conference before the Olympics. “I get it. Very puny. But I’ve worked just as hard as anyone out here and I don’t have any biological advantage over these other women, so people need to stop with the hate and discrimination.”
Lichtenstein has never received any medal during the Summer Olympics. Rita’s would be the first.
Rita’s cousin Coco is also poised to take gold for the men’s team.

There’s never been a trans GM? Statistically there should have been a few by now, maybe some are closeted?
