Seems to be the way most sports are going.

I've seen Nick Heath's take in it. Using it as an opportunity to
promote the very dangerous Mermaids gender clinic. I'd hope the
club will reconsider their association with him given that they
run children's camps

The RFU has proposed to allow players whose sex is recorded as
female at birth to play in the male category "if they they
provide their written consent and a risk assessment is carried
out".
Don't know if I'm correct or not but, could they argue that it's
sexism with that last sentence!

It would appear it’s not a topic you can discuss without having
accusations made if your opinion is different

"Using it as an opportunity to promote the very dangerous
Mermaids gender clinic"
What exactly is "very dangerous" about a charity based helpline?

The highly controversial activist group Mermaids, claimed it was
because a “number of editorial staff” at the BBC are
“unsympathetic to transgender identities”.
In 2019, Mermaids provoked outrage after it exposed the personal
details of vulnerable children after it placed more than 1,000
pages of confidential emails from 2016 and 2017 online for
anyone to read.
Names, telephone numbers, addresses, and deeply intimate details
of children’s mental state and medical history were revealed,
along with comments and questions from worried parents.
Earlier in the year, the organisation was ridiculed after
showing police officers in a training session a gender identity
‘spectrum’, with a Barbie doll at one end, and a G.I. Joe toy at
the other, and telling them: “Your Sexuality is who you go to
bed with. Your Gender Identity is who you go to bed as.”

It’s a tricky subject and to be fair to the RFU I think they
were trying to be inclusive as possible at the grassroots
level.
I consider myself as someone who is pro inclusion and trans
rights but you do have to be guided by the science on this one.
I feel for the people who will now no longer be able to continue
playing the game they love, it sucks but I can’t see any other
way around it sadly
