I never said it was wrong, nor did the female player who made that argument. Good for her if she feels uncomfortable for voicing that and refusing to go. Only wishing it extended to other marginalized groups.

It's also interesting that you become a second-tier human in Saudi because of segregation but being paid pennies so little that you can't even pay for the travel expenses to the World Women's Chess Championship doesn't make a you a second-tier human.
