Sharron Davies launches impassioned tirade slamming RFU over transgender stance

Broadcaster Sharron Davies has taken aim at the Rugby Football Union (RFU) for not taking a tough enough stance against transgender women in female sport.

Davies, 59, has become a prominent figure in the trans debate and ardently believes those born as biological males should not be allowed to take part in female events. Swimming and cycling have become battlegrounds in the discussion, and Davies backed British Triathlon for implementing a ban on transwomen in female competitions.

“I cannot understand how these guys are dragging their feet,” said Davies, per The Telegraph. “This is a serious accident waiting to happen and they just don’t seem to care that they’re potentially risking injury to female athletes, as well as condoning unfair sport.”
