English FA Bans Transgender Women From Women's Football

The Football Association has announced that transgender women will no longer be eligible to play in women's football in England starting June 1.

This decision follows a UK Supreme Court ruling on April 15, which defined a woman based on biological sex, according to the BBC.

The FA has reversed its previous policy, which had stricter eligibility criteria for transgender women, and will now only allow biologically female players to participate.

"This is a complex subject, and our position has always been that if there was a material change in law, science, or the operation of the policy in grassroots football then we would review it and change it if necessary," the FA said.

"We understand that this will be difficult for people who simply want to play the game they love in the gender by which they identify, and we are ing the ed transgender women currently playing to explain the changes and how they can continue to stay involved in the game."

The Scottish FA is expected to adopt a similar stance to the Football Association by banning transgender women from participating in women’s football in Scotland.

According to BBC Sport, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is also likely to implement a ban on transgender women competing in the women’s game.

The ECB has been seeking legal advice in the wake of a recent Supreme Court ruling and is anticipated to approve revisions to its transgender policy during a board meeting on Friday.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, England Netball updated its regulations to prohibit transgender women from competing in the female category.

Sanity Gradually Returning to Humanity.
Better late than Never.

The Emergence of president Donald Trump aka the Last Trump, His boldness and Courage for Godly Principles is gradually spreading and disnifecting the polluted and depraved people and Nations.

Anything apart from Man and Woman, is From the Deep pit of Hell! irrespective of the person or nation who propagates such.

Genesis 1:27

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Its baffling how it had to take the intervention of the supreme court before some people came back to their senses.

If you check am well, na women dey allow all these LGBTQ stuff gain footing, na why I no dey even pity them... Look at the gays in Nigeria, na women dey promote and befriend them, from Bobrisky to James Brown, na always woman dey promote them.

They should have allowed those men take over their sport.
