ALEXIA CERENYS

She/Her

“Alexia Cerenys is a French rugby player who transitioned at age 25. World Rugby has discouraged member countries from allowing trans women to play, calling it a safety issue. But in 2021, the French Rugby Federation ignored that guideline and said trans women should to compete. She quit rugby during her transition, but resumed playing on a French women’s team in 2016 after four years of hormone therapy. ‘From a personal point of view, I feel really proud to have this support and to see things change,” she told Reuters. “In this sense, I hope to see doors open for other federations to open up competition to trans people in all other sports.'” [Source]
