The International Cricket Council has become the latest sports body to ban transgender players from the elite women’s game if they have gone through male puberty.

The ICC said it had taken the decision, following an extensive scientific review and nine-month consultation, to “protect the integrity of the international women’s game and the safety of players”.

It joins rugby union, swimming, cycling, athletics and rugby league, who have all gone down a similar path in recent years after citing concerns over fairness or safety.

    not a big fan of being called “cis”

    If you aren’t trans, then you are cis.

    If you aren’t gay, then you are straight.

    Do you also dislike being called straight?

      I remember those same kinds people in high school saying “I’m not straight I’m normal”

      So I’m gonna guess his response would be “I’m not cis I’m normal”

        That’s right sweetie/bro! Transitioning is a normal thing to do if it makes you feel happier.

      Cis is just a term trans people came up with so they could label normal people as they’ve been labelled.

        It’s literally a Latin prefix. Exactly the same as “trans”, being the antonym thereof.
