Probably worth clarifying that the IM title (“International Master”) is distinct from and has more stringent requirements* than the WIM title (“Woman International Master”).
As mentioned in @andri‘s comment below, the current highest-rated transgender player** recently became a WIM, not an IM. Her current rating is 2315 and peak rating is 2319.

*For one thing, the rating threshold for IM appears to be 2400, versus a threshold of 2200 for WIM.
** That I’m aware of. A quick Google doesn’t suggest any other candidates.
