Any Gay, Lesbian, Transgender Chess Teams out there?

Are there any Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender chess teams on Chess.com?

Just wondering... I have a friend who is thinking of joining chess.com 

http://www.chess.com/chessgroups?keyword=LGBT

And your friend will only join if there are LGBT teams?

Oh good.  

I like to think of my opponents in certain ways when playing them.  My co-worker likes to pretend that she is using a strap-on when delivering punishment to her chess opponents.  I'm not sure how that works, but it was her words and she wants to share her mind with like minded people.  

The LGBT sounds like it will be a perfect fit for her.

Yes.  She boycotts sites that don't cater to LGBT.  

Interesting... so how does she define "catering to" LGBT? Does she mean not having a negative stance, or having a very clear positive stance?

Um, when playing chess, a persons gender or sexual preference doesn't affect the game, does it?

Unless we're playing OTB, and my opponent has a strap-on. That might be a little distracting.

Why is it that as soon as you mention lgbt thoughts go automatically to strap ons? There is more to life than sex

Really?  Name one thing that doesn't involve sex in life...  

I think that my co-worker just looks at chess as an extension of life.  She's not the feminine type and actually considers herself to be a man trapped in a woman's body.  Hence, the strap on reference.  I just treat her like a man and she appreciates that... I think that she poured some male hormones on her face last year and is growing a bunch of facial hair unevenly on her face.  I try not to comment, but it is distracting at times when we are negotiating multi-million dollar deals with partners from other countries.  

I don't say anything because I'm a very accepting person and I sort of understand where she is coming from...

There are some that are tomboys like I was till about 3 years ago that doesn't mean I wanted to strap on someone. I lead a very full and active life with no sex for maybe more than 6 months now. Having a one track mind shows an incapacity to think outside the box.

Tell me how many families you know can actually live without a tv and not drive themselves to distraction from boredom?

I prefer inside the box.

Depends on who is in the box lol

Agreed.

Hehe!

:D

"My co-worker likes to pretend that she is using a strap-on when delivering punishment to her chess opponents." That is hilarious.

What's a strap-on, people? Everybody seems to know except me.

Something for a box.

What is a strap on? Really , you don't know. Well it's a sex toy. Does that help?Please be relevant, helpful & nice!

Actually, my co-worker is a VP of Marketing and she usually finds it difficult to detach the strap on while at work...  or to find LGBT chess groups.

I sent her an email regarding chess.com. 

She is probably one of the top LGBT players in the world and she is unafraid to deliver a thorough beating to her opponents.  She's just a really nasty and aggressive chess player who walks through her opponents like a vicious dog on the loose.  I consider myself to be a great chess player so when I have seen her play, I have had to step back and ask myself how I would counter her attack especially when she initiates the action in white.  She doesn't allow her opponents to develop their pieces or to form any recognizable defense.  She calls her attack "Girlzilla" and it is fierce.

Five chess GMs were invited to play a private exhibition with a bunch of our development team members last month in New York City.   She defeated everyone of the GMs with her aggressive style of play.  She plays standard chess while I like blitz so it is unlikely that we will match-up very often on chess.com.

In any case, I always make it a point to walk alongside her rather than infront of her... even though she still calls me "Boss"
