Just that everybody is aware about the scope/cultural relevance of this story. Apollo News, the original German source, is not a respectable news outlet.
It’s an online publication more similar to a blog in many ways. The founders call themselves ‘an alternative to the leftwing mainstream’ and are not afraid to show their allegiance to the far right, regulary disseminating actual fake news or using slurs against immigrants and lgbt people. For american readers, I’d compare this to Breitbart.
When googling stuff along the lines of “chess trans-athlete championship” in German, this story does not come up at all. The German mainstream is gladly not (yet) interested in this culture war.
