The German Chess Federation has rejected any ban

meh.

if they really cared, there would not be any official 'gendered' tournaments. but there are, because they want that for some reason.

Officially there's women's and open tournaments. There isn't anything stopping the top female player, Hou Yifan from going to a tourney and potentially playing the top (general and specifically male) player Magnus Carlsen.
