Приятным исключением является рэгби: "World Rugby has approved updated transgender participation guidelines following a comprehensive, collaborative and transparent review of its existing guidance. ...the new guidelines do not recommend that transwomen play women’s contact rugby on safety grounds at the international level of the game where size, strength, power and speed are crucial for both risk and performance, but do not preclude national unions from flexibility in their application of the guidelines at the domestic/community level of the game. Transmen are permitted to participate in men’s contact rugby."

Американский Союз Рэгби таки до сих пор разрешает, согласно указаниям Олимпийского Комитета от 2015 года.

Но англичане против: "Sports Councils Equality Group guidance claims "the inclusion of transgender people, fairness and safety cannot co-exist""
