International Rugby League suspends transgenders from competing in women’s games, vows to do ‘more research’ before taking any further action

Following the example of world swimming, Rugby’s international governing body has also banned transgender athletes from competing in women’s matches.

The International Rugby League has issued a statement explaining that those who have transitioned from male-to-female will not be permitted to take part in sanctioned women’s rugby matches, at least until further research is carried out.

“It is the IRL’s responsibility to balance the individual’s right to participate … against perceived risk to other participants,” the league said in the statement.

While the the IRL said that it “reaffirms its belief that rugby league is a game for all and that anyone and everyone can play our sport,” it also noted that it will for now cease allowing trans people to compete in women’s games “In the interests of avoiding unnecessary welfare, legal and reputational risk to International Rugby League competitions, and those competing therein.”

“The IRL will seek to work with the eight Women’s Rugby League World Cup 2021 finalists to obtain data to inform a future transwomen inclusion policy in 2023, which takes into consideration the unique characteristics of rugby league,” the statement further notes.

The ruling comes on the heels of British cycling suspending transgender-inclusive policies in April, noting that its former guidelines were “unfair on all women riders and [pose] a challenge to the integrity of racing.”

This week FINA, Swimming’s world governing body ruled that transgender athletes who have gone through any form of male puberty must compete in a separate category that only includes those who claim their gender identity is different from their biological sex.

For transgender athletes who were born men to compete in women’s events, they must have completed their transition by the age of 12.

The move means that trans swimmer Lia Thomas who has won several events recently competing against biological women will no longer be able to compete alongside them.

Reacting to the ruling, a former teammate and a former competitor of Thomas both expressed support.

“I’m very hopeful about it,” said Thomas’ teammate, speaking anonymously to the Daily Wire, adding “I am incredibly happy that Lia Thomas will never be an Olympic gold medalist. I think that’s great.”

She also declared that she “would love” for the NCAA to rescind Thomas’ championship title, noting however that “this doesn’t actually fix the NCAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association].”

The report notes that NCAA’s current policy allows biological males to compete on women’s teams after completing just one year of testosterone suppression treatment.

The report also quotes Riley Gaines, a University of Kentucky swimmer, who has been placed below Thomas in previous competition.

“I believe Lia is not the fastest female in the 500-yard freestyle, therefore I don’t think she should be awarded as a female national champion,” Gaines said, adding that the NCAA “needs to take accountability”.

Perhaps more sporting bodies will now take a look at what is happening within their competitions and follow the example of FINA in restoring the rights of women to compete fairly.

    Author Of ‘Gender Queer’ Book Found In Schools Says “I Don’t Recommend This Book For Kids”

    “‘Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children”

    The author of the book titled ‘Gender Queer’, one of the controversial LGBTQ+ materials featuring explicit images that has cropped up again and again in schools has stated that the book is not meant to be available for young children.

    Maia Kobabe, who identifies as non-binary told the Washington Post that her book is aimed at “older teens,” not kindergarten aged kids.

    “It keeps being called a children’s book … but I think that’s coming from a misreading of the comic-book form. ‘Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children,” Kobabe stated.

    “I originally wrote it for my parents, and then for older teens who were already asking these questions about themselves. I don’t recommend this book for kids!” she said in the interview published last week.

    The comments come after GOP Senator John Kennedy read aloud graphic excerpts during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing:

    Kennedy read “I got a new strap-on harness today. I can’t wait to put it on you. It will fit my favorite dildo perfectly. You’re going to look so hot. I can’t wait to have your c**k in my mouth. I’m going to give you the blow job of your life. Then I want you inside of me.”

    “The words you spoke are disturbing, especially coming out of your mouth, it’s very disturbing,” Illinois Secretary of State Alexander Giannoulias told Kennedy in response.

    The book is one of several that have prompted outrage and protests among parents as it features graphic illustrations of sex between two men, use of sex toys, oral sex, and masturbation, among other things.

    Passages from the book have been read out by parents during school board meetings, in some cases leading to them being shut down and asked to leave.

    The Gender Queer book was also cited by Chelsea Clinton in tweets defending the use of such material in schools:

    Indeed Out-Wokes Corporate America With $10,000 Relocation Checks For Trans Employees

    Published

    Austin-based online job search platform, “Indeed,” aims to ‘out woke’ corporate America by offering transgender employees or those with transgender children a $10,000 relocation payment. Both Bloomberg and Axios confirmed the relocation payment program. 

    Before we discuss relocation payments, it’s important to note that Indeed proudly states on its website that it had the wokest corporate policies in America in 2018. It said its 2018 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality, score “received a perfect score of 100 percent.” 

    For some context, CEI is administered by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world. HRC has received millions of dollars in funding from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.

    Indeed’s executives appear to have one objective in mind: rank the highest on the CEI index this year (we all remember earlier this year what happened to Bud Light when they tried that on TikTok). One way execs are attempting to achieve a high score is to offer a relocation program to trans workers, cutting them a $10,000 check to cover ‘travel-related expenses’ out of conservative states (or areas where they don’t feel comfortable) to safer grounds. 

    “While Indeed introduced the program to its employees in July, until now, the company has not discussed it publicly,” Bloomberg said. 

    Indeed provided further details about the program to Axios:

    • It’s for US-based employees and immediate family members who seek gender-affirming care and live in a location where state laws or government-issued directives criminalize or restrict access to such medical care.
    • It also applies to those who live in places that attempt to restrict support for children who are gender non-conforming, transgender or non-binary. 
    • Eligible employees will receive approval to relocate to a state or jurisdiction where they will be able to access the care and support they need, as well as a $10,000 flat-rate benefit to support their relocation expenses.

    None of this comes as a surprise given Indeed’s mission since 2018 has been to ‘out woke’ corporate America in its pursuit of a high CEI score. But why? 

    Some netizens were confused by Indeed’s move considering the Bud Light backlash earlier this year after a white privileged liberal executive believed the brewer was time for a change. However, its customer base thought otherwise, nuking the beer as demand has since crashed

    “Kinda weird that companies never did stuff like this for black people or disabled people,” one netizen asked. 

    Another asked, “Does Indeed offer any relocation money for women who live in particularly misogynistic states? Of course not. “

    Someone else pointed out:

    We wonder if Indeed will have an increase in the number of trans workers trying to capitalize on the free money.
