As a result of this thread:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4050558-RFU-clears-TW-to-play-at-all-levels-of-rugby

I wrote to the RFU and amongst other things they basically said they would continue to look into the matter. This was in October.

I have written to ask for an update on their work into this matter.

Anyone else want to join me?

Please post any relevant material that has been published since October here. Here's some I am aware of:

I believe the best email address to contact them on is:

[email protected]

I should state, when I emailed a few weeks ago I got a note saying that inbox wasn't currently being monitored due to Covid, but I'm hoping if it's not already being monitored now it soon will be as grass roots rugby can start back from the end of the month.

J Harper's review that supports Hilton & Lundberg's.

Can't help but to reiterate that Harper was present at the symposium as well.

I have just mentioned rugby on a face book thread about sport and trans competitors , first time I have outed myself as GC in real life

Well done minsmum

I want to be more outspoken (and hopefully educate a few people) - I’ve tried a tiny bit with closest friends/family but want to do more!

RFU have just emailed me to say that their external external consultation will be running end of March to mid-April and that details will be made public in-line with these timelines.
