Apologies in advance if this interview was previously posted as it’s ten months old but pertinent while World Rugby battle out their revised trans participation policies.

No need to apologize! As you say, this interview is pertinent to the WR situation - and the wider issue of men invading women's sports. More to the point, people reading here have very different levels of awareness of trans issues and the drawbacks. Many are just waking up to how damaging to girls & women the trans-extremism movement & the gender ideology, sex denialism & misogyny it is pushing really are.

I’m glad it’s appropriate - The way in which women are treated in sport mirror their treatment within polite society. Frankly, I’m amazed World Rugby initiated a comprehensive and scientific peer reviewed look into the potential dangers of having male bodies participate in women’s sport. They need to be commended for this act since it appears as though they actually care about the female sex and acknowledge the biological differences between men and women.

I don’t believe any other sport association has so vigorously managed to duplicate World Rugby’s efforts so far and I’m hoping their findings will set a precedent to be adopted throughout every sport at every level. So many amazing women and men, including the occasional transexual, fighting for the rights of women and girls in sport in the face of so many who believe females simply don’t deserve or require their own sex specific category.
