PARIS (Reuters) - The first trans woman playing at the top level of amateur rugby with the endorsement of her national federation said on Thursday it was time for other countries and other sports to follow French rugby and let trans women play.
The French Rugby Federation defied the recommendation of the sport's global governing body this week by decreeing that trans women should be allowed to compete. For Alexia Cerenys, who has already been playing unofficially as a flanker for the Lons Women's Rugby team in the French Pyrenees for years, it was about time.
