"BREAKING NEWS. Another sport says no to males in women’s teams. Two years after the World Rugby ruling, England Rugby Union now joins the growing list of sports reverting to sex categories."

Thank you FPFW for your tireless work on this. Why the RFU has taken so long to see the bleeding obvious (mixed sex adults rugby. What could possibly go wrong!) is another matter.

If only they hadn't stated 'assigned male at birth' in their press release. Please, it's SEX, not gender and SEX OBSERVED AT BIRTH, not assigned. FFS!

But bloody hell, that's great news!

Also covered in the Times (sorry no share token) www.thetimes.co.uk/article/transgender-women-banned-from-female-contact-rugby-in-england-ffk076ctb

I wince at "trans female" and "assigned male at birth" of course.
