The statement by Simon is nothing more than fluff.
French rugby *clearly* distinguishes both sex and gender - they have separate male and female categories, and they are mandating testosterone suppression in transwomen.

Serge Simon @DrSergeSIMON is 6’1 and 100kg (fighting weight). He’s also a doctor.
I would like to know if Dr Simon thinks he would be eligible to play against females if he suppressed T to 5 nM for 12 months.

Does Dr Simon know that there is no statistical overlap between the upper body strength (tested by bench 1RM) of elite male and elite female rugby players?
Does Dr Simon know that T suppression has only a small effect on muscle mass under the criteria proposed by FFR?

Does Dr Simon have any thoughts on whether a co-ed national team would field any females? Why might that be?
Would Dr Simon personally underwrite Sébastien Chabal playing with and against female rugby players, if he lost 5% of his muscle mass of course?
