I have so much I'd like to discuss. I'd love to hear about your work with [org i freelance for] (what do you do, for how long, etc.). I've been a big fan and user of [org] but 3 women employees out of 200 is terrible. Do you feel that it is a sexist atmosphere or is it just because it's a symptom of the larger chess gender gap?
I'd like to talk about your personal background in chess - when you started, what your experience has been as a female player in a male-dominated sport, what your experience has been with gender inequality, whether you felt supported or oppressed, whether you experienced harassment. Do you have any stories you can share that are representative of your experience?
I'd like to ask about your proudest moments. What are your accomplishments in chess that made you proud and that might give other players a lift? Could be a win, hitting a goal, organizing something, whatever. I think it's important to put a spotlight on the great things women are doing and not just focusing on the negative.
But I also like to ask what you would change about chess if you could. If you had a magic wand and could change anything, what would it be? Structure, attitudes, access, whatever you can think of, and you get as many wishes as you want.
Is there anything else you'd like to talk about or would like me to ask?
Again, I appreciate you making the time for this!
