World Rugby says its unfair and unsafe for males to play women's Rugby. It has reversed its trans inclusion policy for International players to keep female Rugby for females only.

If its unfair in Rugby then its unfair in cycling too. /4
This policy must be looked at again to make sure it works for everyone, not just trans people.

The Fair Play For Women mission is to make sure women and girls are never forgotten or ignored by policy-makers.

Help us to keep women's sport female only /5 https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/fairplayforwomen
