January 1, Rugby Coach Calls for Ban on Transgender Players After Multiple Injuries [Video]

A high school rugby coach is calling for transgender athletes to be banned from competition after a male-to-female student injured three cisgender female players over the weekend.

Tiyan High School head coach Conrad Kerber said that a member of the girls’ rugby team, who was born a male, injured three players during a match on Saturday.

The transgender player’s “body size, body strength … completely dominate any girl that I have on my team,” Kerber said.

“The aggressive nature that was witnessed clearly showed that it’s a definite issue that we have to deal with,” he added.

“I have three players that were injured in that first game against Guam High directly by that particular player.”
