NRLW to get its first Transgender player next season -Updated

[Lee's fedora]

The NRL is set to leave its decision on the trans player up to the players and coaches of the NRLW. The decision is said to be a highly successful idea with players having 0 issue with the decision to begin with a decision said to be coming soon with teams wanting to sort their teams before the start of the 2022 season

The NRL policy according to the DT is similarly nuanced . I was interested to read Lauren's views on the initiative and hopefully the NRL policy provides sufficient protections for all parties.

so you know the DT writers?

Such a gutless decision by the administration.
The players are now in a no win situation.

Wow. Just wow. Hope your virtue signalling and not wanting to hurt someone’s feelings because of biological realities is worth crapping all over the aspirations and goals of biological female athletes in addition to endangering them as well throwing away all the progress womens sports has made.

Spineless. Their doing a Dr Smith from Lost in Space.
Is this the opinion of Australians at large.
There should be zero, zilch, no signs of male genetics, testosterone, skeletal differences, genitalia.
What are the guidelines and testing regime.
Is my daughter going to be playing against a man that looks like a girl?

Yes let them play in a dedicated transgenger competition where they can play with people who understand each other and they will be on a level playing ground..or will they?

Virtue signalling? This sounds very incel

Absolutely a deplorable decision by the NRL....they make all the rules,fines suspensions in regard to the game,but step off making a decision whether a person born a male suddenly wants to be a woman and wants to compete against them for some form of identity....
There is but 2 genders MALE AND FEMALE,you are born either one or the other....if you feel the need to crossover to the opposite gender then feel free to do so,but also feel free to play against your own transgender to be fair to the naturally born genders...
And there is no malice in what I have stated its fact and its a topic that is getting far to much attention in an ever changing world of wierdness....

If that ever happens then maybe complain about it then? Given how low the transgender population is as a whole it seems pretty unlikely your daughter would ever play with or against a transgender athlete in any given sport. It's not like a flock of men are suddenly going to redefine their genders so they can be more competitive at sport.

I also don't really see why people think it was so outrageous or gutless to leave the decision to the players. Why shouldn't they make the call? Seems like a bunch of people want to be outraged on their behalf at something that is not likely to be much of an issue. If the players want to exclude them then fine, they can own their decision.

I reckon the few trans women I have met would get absolutely smashed in women's NRL. They aren't blokes with a three day growth wearing a skirt.

So the NRL can’t make a call , pretty week either way , but hay leave it up to the ladies who play the sport , geez we are going soft
my concerns are , you let a trans play in the ladies and shim goes great and start encouraging other trans into the ladies comp weather it’s league , soccer , God help us Boxing , but all this will do is keep the real woman out of the sport they are fully entitled to play in , we see coaches now try and cheat or go around the rules can you imagine a coach who’s team is running last and 3 or 4or 5 trans woman turn up to trial for the new season
2 x 6ft6 110 kg props
1 x 6 ft2 95 kg back rower
2 x 6 ft. 90 kg winger / Centres
yep that team probably improves with the male Strength added but 5 woman miss out playing the sport they love and aspired to playing in
if these trans people want to play League / Soccer etc make a trans comp ( there is already gay rugby ) so why do they need to drive there way into a real woman’s comp and start all this divided arguments ,

Is there a link to this? I can't fathom that this could be true.

Such a naive take.

They aren’t the ones who are going to play competitive rugby league though are they?

 

[Nelson]

Such a naive take.

Got no substance? Accuse the other person of being naive. The purest of pissant responses.

 

[old_man_tiger]

I'm fine with the players deciding. I don't know what's objectively right and wrong and I think anyone who claims to have this knowledge is the least trustworthy on topics like this.

If I have to explain it to you, then you are obviously to thick to think for yourself.

That is about as pissant as your last response. Whatever. I don't find the topic of any particular interest, much less sparring with you. You go on continuing to get your panties in a twist about this issue that has absolutely no impact on your life.
