We’re deeply disappointed in World Rugby’s decision to move ahead with proposals to stop most trans women playing in competitions they govern.

We stand in solidarity with those who will feel shut out from the sport they love. https://www.stonewall.org.uk/about-us/news/stonewall-statement-world-rugbys-announcement-0

Rugby unions across the world determine their own policies on trans inclusion at a domestic level. The Canadian, US and Australian Rugby Unions have come out in support of trans inclusion. It's time for all rugby unions to rally behind the trans people in their communities.

It's been a tough week of news and developments for trans communities. We send our love to all of you. You are wonderful. You are valid.

We will not stop fighting until every trans person is accepted without exception.
