A Facebook group called The Sports Bra tells us:
This weekend, July 11–12, The Sports Bra is joining the boycott of Women’s Elite Rugby (WER) matches.
That means that we will not stream matches, host watch parties, or otherwise promote WER competition during the boycott window.
We’re doing this in solidarity with the players, fans, and organizers calling for rugby to live up to its own values of respect, integrity, and inclusion.
The Sports Bra exists to celebrate and elevate women and girls in sports. That includes trans women and girls. Always.
Well, no it doesn’t. Ever. Trans women and girls are men and boys. Always.
We love women’s sports. We love seeing new leagues grow. We want more athletes on bigger stages with more fans in the stands. But growth cannot come at the cost of belonging.
But males don’t belong in female sports. There is no “cost of belonging” in having things for girls and women. Girls and women are allowed to have their own belonging, and men shouldn’t try to force their way into it.
They added in a comment:
Part of our commitment to belonging means we protect our marginalized community members. We will delete comments that are hostile, threatening, or use profanity. We will block repeat offenders.
They will delete comments that disagree with their determination to trash female sports. How progressivey.
