Rooks Pawns can become queens, but not kings.
There are a couple of explanations for this.
Either rooks pawns are all female, or the queen is a gender neutral position that may be assumed by a suitable warrior twink

They're not prawns, they're horses, and referred to as knights. Also they don't become queens.

You might be confused. You seem to be taking about a similar game called “Chest”.
I think they were talking about Chess.

I think that chest is a mimic

You are probably thinking of pawns. Pawns are the ones who can promote to Queen (or other pieces except king) but as far as I know there is no 1 canon on what gender pieces are so you can use your own imagination. I have heard people say how pawns are essentially trans women (pawns are male and transition to a female queen) but like I think you can make any other lore regarding gender of pieces.
Considering that chess is a war game and historically speaking males are the ones who usually go to war, it is possible for pawns to be all male and either transition to queens or queen being gender neutral title to mean helper of king in war. Idk that is just one theory. I think, if we need to give gender to pieces, I think it would also make sense for half of the pawns pawns to be male and half of them female. Idk, use your imagination.

I think prawns can become horseys and (however unlikely) rooks and bishops too.
If they can transform species like that then I think a penis or a womb here or there is no big deal.
I think maybe they're more like snails, who'll do whatever it takes to secure a mate.

All the pieces are bio female. Just flip them over and check.

I saw a video a while back about the history of chess and it's pieces, i think it was something along the lines that the queen was like... President, of something elss like that before queen got mainstream?

Interesting thing I never thought of, but the answer to me is yes, Pawns are female & so are Queens. Chess is extremely & did not factor transgenderism or things like that.

no worries - just seems like you're the kind of person that would care about these things, and thought it was information you'd like to have
