Tyrus: This trend has to stop

>> Gillian: THE SCENE OUT OF THE QUEEN'S GAMUT MOVIE THAT INSPIRED A LOT OF WOMEN TO TAKE UP CHESS. THE WORLD'S TOP CHESS FEDERATION IS TAKING A STEP MEANT TO PROTECT WOMEN WHO PLAY THE GAME. THEY SAY THEY ARE BANNING TRANSGENDER WOMEN FROM COMPETING IN WOMEN'S EVENTS PERIOD UNTIL OFFICIALS CAN CONDUCT FURTHER STUDIES ABOUT THE EFFECTS GENDER HAS ON THE GAME. LET'S BRING IN FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR TYRUS. THIS IS NOT, INTERESTINGLY, A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION FOR THE CHESS FEDERATION. THEY SAY THEY ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE REQUESTS FROM TRANS PLAYERS TO JOIN IN WOMEN'S GAMES. >> I THINK WE'RE SEEING THE GROWING TREND WHERE THERE IS SO MUCH ATTENTION AND SUCCESS GIVEN FOR TRANS WOMEN WHEN THEY CROSS TO WOMEN'S SPORTS. I COMMEND THEM FOR SAYING HOLD ON WE'LL CHECK THIS OUT AND TAKE OUR TIME WITH THIS. I THINK THAT'S GREAT. YOU COULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT CHESS IS A MENTAL GAME AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND SAY MEN ARE SMARTER THAN WOMEN OR WHATEVER. CHESS IS A GAME, A STRATEGY. DEPENDS HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN IN IT. FOR THE LONG TIME IT WAS WHEN I WAS IN CHESS CLUB IN HIGH SCHOOL IT WAS ALL BOYS. IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WOMEN WERE INTO. NOW WE SEE A TREND. MY DAUGHTER IS NINE AND WE PLAY CHESS EVERY WEEKEND. SHE LOVES THE GAME AND HATES TO LOSE. SO -- >> Gillian: SHE BEATS YOU MOSTLY. >> WE PLAY 5 OR 6 TIMES AND I GOT THINGS TO DO AND I HAVE TO TAKE THE L. SHE HATES TO LOSE. I'M TEACHING HER. CHESS IS YOU THINK TWO PLAYS AHEAD AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THIS. THEY ARE TAKING THEIR TIME WITH IT. THIS TREND HAS TO STOP. THERE IS A PLACE FOR TRANSGENDER WOMEN BUT NOT IN WOMEN'S SPORTS. >> Bill: THIS DECISION CAME OUT OF AZERBAIJAN, NOT ATLANTA. IT SEEMS IT IS AN ISSUE FOR THE UNITED STATES MUCH MORE THAN OTHER PLACES AROUND THE WORLD. >> BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING ALL -- IT GOES BACK TO WHY IS THE LEAP? WHY DO YOU NEED TO LEAP? IF IT'S ABOUT THE COMPETITION AND NOTHING TO DO WITH PHYSICALITY, THERE IS NO REASON TO LEAVE. I WOULD THINK A TRANSGENDER WOMAN WINNING IN THE MEN'S DIVISION WOULD SAY MORE ABOUT EQUALITY THAN HAVING TO HOP OVER TO THE WOMEN'S DIVISION. WHY? THERE IS NO REASON TO. ONLY REASON WE'RE SEEING IS SEEING MEDIOCRE, BIOLOGICAL MEN TRANSITION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY BECOME STAR ATHLETES WHEN THEY SWITCH TO WOMEN'S SPORTS. I COMMEND THEM FOR THE WAY THEY'RE DOING THAT. >> Bill: IF YOU ARE A TITLEHOLDER AND YOU CHANGE YOUR GENDER BACK, YOU WOULD GET REINSTATED. IF YOU DON'T ALL PREVIOUS TITLES ARE ABOLISHED. THEY'VE GONE THE RABBIT HOLE. >> GOOD FOR THEM. INSTEAD OF MAKING SNAP JUDGMENTS FOR THE P.C. OR MOB THEY TAKE THEIR TIME. THEY SAID THEY'D RESEARCH IT AND TAKE ABOUT TWO YEARS. I LOVE THAT. I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THAT ACROSS THE BOARD. WOMEN'S SPORTS SHOULD TAKE 15 YEARS TO RESEARCH IT, GET A GOOD BASE AND COME BACK WITH A FORMULA. UNTIL THEN BUY LODGE CALLS STAY IN THEIR OWN AREAS WHILE WE SORT IT. >> Bill: APPARENT THERE A STUDY DONE IN ETIQUETTE ON AN AIRPLANE. SHOULD YOU LOWER YOUR SEAT? >> THE MORE ETIQUETTE WOULD BE EVERYONE HAS TO WEAR SLEEVES THAN WHETHER THE SEAT GOES BACK OR NOT. I ALSO TELL THEM PRE-FLIGHT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO COME BACK OR YOU HAVE TWO BIG KNEES IN YOUR BACK AND I DON'T KNOW HOW COMFORTABLE IT IS. THER
