RFU clears TW to play at *all* levels of rugby

[Kit19]

the absolute fuckers!!!

I have zero interest in rugby, and would not allow my children to play it (had a friend at college who was paralysed from the neck down at the age if 19 from a bad tackle). However, to all the women out there who spend their money on rugby tickets and classes, just stop. The only time these sporting bodies give a fuck about natal women is when we are not spending our money or time facilitating them.

So.. Its OK for biologically male players to play against biologically female players.. Thus we have mixed sex rugby..
So in theory it would be fine for my daughter to say she wants to play in a male team... Cus it's safe innit..!?

Absolutely. —She— sorry he just needs to identify as male and jobs a good un.

Howden are now the RFU brokers of Club Liability insurance:We're here to helpmembers, clubs and staff work together to minimise risk and help make surerugby is safe - on and off the pitch - for everyone.

Am I correct in thinking that this is the same Howden Insurance Brokers Limited that has a charity partnership with Stonewall?

Absolute fucking cunts the lot of them.

Spot on. Ironic. But spot on

How does this work when World Rugby had decided trans women should not participate in women's teams?

Absolute fuckers.

I'm convinced this stance won't last.

But everyone will bloody remember. There's not even any pretence. The gloves are off. They don't give a fuck if their rank misogyny is visible from space.

Couldn't have said it better myself @Sexnotgender 😠

That's how we ended up in a situation where Karen White was locked in with vulnerable women, and nobody cared until she'd actually harmed some of them.

Does anybody care even now? I see no evidence of it.

I get honestly more and more downhearted and angry by the day at the evidence of how much bullshit all this 'there's no such thing as biological sex' is, when it's very very clear how much female people are despised by those saying it. They know exactly who to spit on, they don't need genital checks, they don't give a fuck about how those females identify.

Transwomen are women, and females are just subhuman props in male lives. It isn't about joining, it isn't even about colonising, it's about replacing and displacing, whilst being indignant and disappointed that those being displaced and subordinated are not just shutting up and making the tea.

This is how you get half the human race really, really, seriously pissed off.

Bastards, both RFU and British Cycling and the chief misogynists at Stonewall for being so utterly complicit in decimating women’s sport.
Mid week drinking will be commencing in the Quad household tonight.

@yourhairiswinterfire

What evidence are they waiting for? A woman with a snapped neck because a brick shithouse landed on her?

They've got the evidence. It's not the evidence. It's what they can get away with.

Are we ready to take to the streets yet? In a COVID safe way, of course!!

Between this lot and British Cycling, I'm utterly raging. I don't even have a daughter to worry about getting into sports, I have a son, but as a woman and mother I feel a huge amount of solidarity and compassion for every single woman and girl this will impact. 😢

As White has demonstrated: life-changing harm to females.... meh. A male needed what he needed, get your priorities right.

Oh look, Women's Rugby Agency are "proud to be involved"
Who are these idiots?

Women's rugby had this to say:

"I’m confused. We are the fastest growing sport and the decision the rfu made; hasn’t changed anything? We managed to get 2.7 million females involved in the game, so I reckon young women in their right mind will... still get involved!!!"

And worse:

"I have first hand seen and been part of clubs where trans female are part of the team, they played competitive games and not one person from the either team had an issue. They were accepted, respected and welcomed."

I suspect women’s rugby agency rely on the RFU fir funding & in kind support

Anyway as there’s clearly no need for a special women’s rugby agency now it’s all mixed they should probably just dissolve right?

They've got 184 followers. No links to an official website nor a verification tick. Could be someone sat in their bedroom for all we know.

Two options here.

A discrimination case is brought ASAP.

Or we have to wait for the avalanche of civil injury claims to be brought by women, inevitably, being seriously injured.

The latter means insurer will take notice and pull cover.

Oh I tell a lie! It’s a PR agency fir a bunch of female rugby players who I assume can’t afford to go against the RFU if they want to keep being booked to do stuff by the RFU

not one person from the either team had an issue

Yeah.

In the same fantasy world where no female in a refuge has ever had the slightest issue over those refuges being forced to be mixed sex for the benefit of males.

Because:

• There are no records made, and flat, lying denial made of meetings that took place where such concerns were raised - MNetters were at them.

• Incidents and reports are not recorded

• Funding is tied tightly to forced political conformity with threats for heresy

• Any woman daring to say anything or even look sideways is at risk of her place and of hate crime accusations, a Twitter pile on and death/rape threats, and the many other lovely 'get the fuck back in line' tactics openly used on females

women's hands are fucking tied on this and the system ensures it

So 'there is no issue' just makes me say pull the other one, it's got fucking bells on.

And WR doubling down:

"wish you lot were all this passionate and outspoken about womens rugby and supporting women’s rugby, as much as you are against letting trans females play!!!"

avalanche of civil injury claims to be brought by women, inevitably, being seriously injured.

Yeah, women on MN have been saying this for years now.

Give us a straight answer on how many women have to be proven beyond all doubt to have been excluded, failed, assaulted, raped, injured or dead before male people may condescend to accept there needs to be some kind of consideration of female interests, and we're not all being hysterical silly girls?

How big does the body count need to be? Put a number on it.

How much female collateral damage is acceptable in the pursuit of happiness for men by other men?

Absolutely fucking appalling. I feel so sorry for my little girl who is shaping up to be very sporty. But she isn't going to have a fair or safe playing field in any sports at this rate!

Are these 'Women's Rugby' players transwomen perchance?

Nicely set up and ready to go with their positive tweets?

Antibles

I am quite new to Twitter, so am still learning what to look for. The Women's Rugby Agency Twitter account was set up in July of this year. I must admit I did wonder what sort of "women" they were after the latest snarky reply.
