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’

I'm so stoked for the future of women rugby. Partially, because it's a very inclusive sport and it inherits a lot from its lore and ethos - with only a few years left until a woman will referee a high profile test game. And partially, because I want to see the same ferocious generic selection applied to female athletes.
Anyways, give it a go - some really good footy. If you're absolutely unaware of it, look up highlights of Portia Woodman.
Inclusive? World Rugby is famously transphobic and exclusionary when it comes to women's rugby...
I'm not saying it's ideal, but things do change rapidly. South Africa about to start giving female players centralized contracts, etc.
