In a blow to LGBTQ+ rights, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) are set to vote on a policy banning trans women from women’s rugby.
Over the last couple of years, trans athletes worldwide have been targeted by laws and policies that have sought to ban their participation in sports.
In the last two months, both FINA and the British Triathlon have announced new rules that have barred trans women from participating in their elite sports competitions.
Now it looks like trans women in England will soon be banned from playing on women’s rugby teams due to new recommendations from the RFU.
