Every season Alix fills her diary with her rugby club's fixture list. This summer though, she says she dare not write them down.

On Friday, the council of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) will vote on whether to bring in new rules on gender participation.

If approved, it would mean only those assigned female at birth will be allowed to play rugby alongside other women.

Transgender women like Alix will effectively be banned from the sport in England.

"I'll be honest with you. If I thought for one moment I was a danger to the people in front of me or the people I play with, I wouldn't do this. I have no desire to hurt anybody at all, accidentally or not," she tells Sky Sports.
