The @EnglandRugby trans policy is not going to change despite the @WorldRugby recommendations that existing policies are not fit for purpose. Let's take a look at the @EnglandRugby policy /1

Up front on the first page all the advocacy and advice groups get a mention. Stonewall, Mermaids, Gendered Intelligence, GIRES and even NHS GIDS. /2

Males who identify as women are referred to as "transgender female players". All they need to show is a doctors note saying they've kept their testosterone low.

Peer reviewed studies show that lowering T for 12 months in adulthood has little impact on muscle size and strength/3

With special thanks to Stonewall and two transgender health medics. /4

If you are a woman or girl who plays Rugby and thinks this policy is not fair or safe please get in contact, in confidence, with me on [email protected] /5
