It was a pleasure to be at Minehead Barbarians last night, watching the girls' rugby training, and talking to "Nunny" their fantastic coach.
It was great to see so many girls engaging and I look forward to working with MBRFC and others on many issues in the future!

Screenshot of text from https://glaad.org/fact-sheet-for-reporters-transgender-participation-in-sports/ "Transgender people make up a tiny fraction of all athletes. NCAA President Charlie Baker testified in December 2024 that he knows of fewer than ten transgender college student-athletes among 510,000 athletes total. All players follow protocols to participate. International Olympic Committee guidelines for transgender inclusion say there should be “no presumed advantage” based on sex assigned at birth or sex characteristics. IOC guidelines were created in consultation with experts in sports, medicine, and human rights. Sports bans are part of a systematic and expanding targeting of transgender people and youth that has surged to include their medically-necessary and supported health care, book bans and curriculum bans, and access to the restroom. Research shows states that include transgender participation have more girls participating in sports than states with bans. Claims that trans inclusion harms girls’ sports are inaccurate and baseless. Women and girls face significant barriers in sports that have nothing to do with transgender inclusion: inequitable facilities, pay, and marketing; abusive coaches; and racist, sexist, and homophobic harassment. Ask critics of transgender inclusion what efforts they have made to resolve real issues harming women and girls in sports."

It seems that rampant misinformation around the subject of fair participation of trans women and girls in sports with our friends, our peers, our colleagues, our classmates, needs to be challenged. 🏳️⚧️

There's been a lot of anti-trans sentiment swirling around SJSU's volleyball team because of the co-captain's anti-trans hate.
A judge ruled that a transgender player can participate in the tournament.
This is about how a few vocal haters have tried to stop a teammate from playing.
