Kind of wild that tennis is the one pro sport that's had a policy allowing trans women to compete for 50 years. In that span, 1 trans athlete has competed (50 years ago), and 0 since. Instead of just changing the policy to ban trans women, they decided to go the extra step of mandating DNA tests?

“We’re not asking for permission to be here. We’re playing.” In February, USA Rugby banned transgender women from competing in women's matches. It was, on paper, a massive blow to the Baltimore Ferals, one of hundreds of teams affiliated with International Gay Rugby. Instead, they kept playing.
