If someone transitions from male to female then they can apply to be listed as female on their passport so I'm not sure the law agrees with you. I'm not justifying women being forced out of sport - you have yet to supply me with any info that that is actually happening.

There r criteria they need 2 meet 2 b able 2 change their passport & PHYSICALLY they are still men. There is plenty of evidence of women’s athletics records being stolen by men, women losing medals because of men. This male rugby player has taken the place of a woman in the team

If they have had top and bottom surgery then physically they have the attributes of women. Considering that trans people are very much a minority and trans sports people even rarer I find it hard to believe that this is the wholesale problem you are suggesting.

I've read it and its interesting. Whilst a male body that has transitioned to female has generally higher levels of muscle mass than someone born female, is the same true when you are comparing a female athlete with a trans athlete? Many female rugby players are tall and strong.

If someone is a trans rugby player playing the women's game, and is six foot and powerful, but is playing other women who are as powerful, then its less of an issue. If there is a clear differential that is more of a problem, as that's unfair competition.

In rugby, it’s not just unfair, it’s dangerous.

Rugby is a dangerous sport full stop. People can and do die playing the sports they love. As an adult you have the right to make your own choices. As a woman who has managed risk her entire life, I find it patronising for others to decide for me that s/thing is too dangerous.
