What the hell is the qualification to receive this title? I didn't even know such a thing existed until chess.com published their list of available titles.

Woman National Master. Basically a female version of NM.

Since you said WNM not WCM I assume 2000 USCF. As far as I can tell, these titles were introduced just so that we could tell when men were parading around as women on chess.com. Example: www.chess.com/members/view/lisa_zhang_tok

Yeah not WCM (I knew about that one), but I've never seen the USCF actually award WNM. So I'm guessing that chess.com created that one? lmao

The background on his/her profile is pretty unique.

 I haven't seen a WNM ..  or heard of one. Unless something changed recently, the USCF doesn't have that title either.

 

And that isn't on the title list.

Also does not show when looking at the member pages under titled players.

Ah, didn't see that earlier. Might just be one available from the Philippines.
