@englandrugby have proposed that trans women over 5"7 or over 90kg must be first assessed to see if they are a 'safety risk' before then can play.
Having this in place when many cis women in many sports do not fit in these these 'limits' is both discriminatory and anti-trans! 1/

[York Minxters Roller Derby @YorkMinxters]

Rugby is for all, regardless of size, shape & identity!
Here at York Minxters we want to fight this discrimination & promote trans inclusion in sport! Let's speak out against @englandrugbys anti-trans proposal.
Trans women belong in women's sport. FULL STOP. 2/

We took part in the @DundeeRDerby #drdchallenge to see how many squats we could do in 72 hours and got 25 league members to blast out a grand total of 14,433 squats! WOAH THERE.

We also coined the term "squelfie"

How many can you do? 🦵👇👆

The team have been busy working on our own contribution to the #dontrushchallenge, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Extra special thanks to Big Guns Bentham and Gem for making this happen :) https://t.co/CrsGqAUY1A

Whenever we fall, our team mates are there to lift us up. Thank you to every single person who's out there working to keep things running in these dark and uneasy times. Stay safe friends 💜

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV)l

York Minxters strive to provide a welcoming and all-inclusive environment; a safe space where you can come to skate, watch, volunteer and be your awesome self.

Rather than moping because our British Championships game was cancelled, our fearless Head of Training, Buckfast lead us in celebrating what it truly means to be a Minxter by holding the first LIVE INTRALEAGUE LIP SYNC BATTLE 👩‍🎤👨‍🎤💅🕶

[York Minxters Roller Derby @YorkMinxters]

Because we can't be at training, our very own Buckfast is livestreaming a skate maintenance session. No better time to get your gear in order! https://t.co/q9OyvkETYH

[York Minxters Roller Derby @YorkMinxters]

We're all missing our skates and each, but to keep us busy during isolation time we've got a drawing challenge for the team (but you can join in too using #mINKxter here and/or on Instagram). We can't wait to see your entries

[York Minxters Roller Derby @YorkMinxters]

We will work with the UKRDA and all other governing bodies to ensure we continue to adhere to their advice going forwards and they will be supporting us to reschedule cancelled games when it's possible to do so.

[York Minxters Roller Derby @YorkMinxters]

Unfortunately, following the most recent advice given to us from the UKRDA and British Championships, we will be cancelling our planned British Championships Double Header that was scheduled for 28th March. Stay tuned for the new date!
