The Rugby Football Union will recommend that its council votes to ban trans women “assigned male at birth” from female contact rugby in a bid to “prioritise fairness of competition and safety of players”.
It’s a contact sport. D’Oh.

Who the hell is going around ‘assigning this stuff at birth’..? Must be an exhausting job.
Perhaps there’s a distinction being drawn? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_rugby

NOBODY IS ASSIGNED ANYTHING AT BIRTH. You are *****************OBSERVED********************* at birth.
An assignation may lead to conception, but sex is determined at the moment of conception. Midwives are merely filling in a form, not making a choice.
AFAIK none of the folk who have medication or surgery on the NHS has a chromosomal abnormality.
If the Rugby Union is using language like ‘assigned at birth’ then they’ve already lost and may as well let the queens play – by using ‘assigned at birth’ they’ve already taken on their opponent’s ideological framework and its only a matter of time before they cave.
Why don’t they just say “XY shall not play [choose your activity] with XX”
World rugby governing body commissioned a report a while back and it said on safety grounds transwomen shouldn’t be allowed to compete with real women
Reading one of the articles it looks like England was allowing it on a case by case basis, maybe something like ok for a small winger but not a forward, and is stopping that and going to a blanket ban
So if you hit a player in the titties during a tackle…you know what I mean?
