Rugby league joins swimming in barring transgender women from female international competition

Transgender women will be barred from playing women’s international rugby league for the time being, after the sport’s governing body became the second this week to announce a shift in policy on the polarising issue.

Following Monday’s announcement that Fina has effectively banned transgender women from competing at elite female swimming events, the International Rugby League (IRL) has decided to preclude athletes who have transitioned from male to female from international competition.

The IRL said in a statement that further consultation and research was needed before it could finalise its policy, but in the meantime, the ruling means that trans athletes will not be able to play in this weekend’s Test matches or at the Women’s Rugby League World Cup later this year.

This is Oz's trans contribution to Rugby.  It played as a man initially before it figured out it could skittle more women on the field playing as a pretend woman.



Now playing as a 'woman'



Finally common sense is beginning to prevail.  Get rid of these freaks out of womens' sport permanently!

Okay, I'm glad they kicked the MALES to the side, prohibiting them to play as females.

What I'd like to know, is since when does anyone have a 'right' to compete in swimming, rugby, or any other sport?
