To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

Inclusive? World Rugby is famously transphobic and exclusionary when it comes to women’s rugby…

Your submission in “TERFs taking their gloves off for Imane Khelif” was removed for Transphobia.

Not that it’s necessarily a reflection on them today, but rugby union was also one of the last major sports to ban apartheid South Africa. Athletics banned them by '70, cricket tours were being called off from '70, soccer suspended them all the way back in '61, and they weren’t allowed in the Olympics from '64. But they were still doing official international rugby union tours as late as '84.

I’m not saying it’s ideal, but things do change rapidly. South Africa about to start giving female players centralized contracts, etc.
