      Genuine question: how many trans women are there who will be affected by this?

      Makes sense. Following the lead of many other sporting bodies.

      Male puberty causes some big changes that seem to direct effect sporting ability

      To everyone saying this is stupid because there aren’t any transgender women in women’s football, do we have to wait until there is so we can ban that person?

      Should we not bother to look at legislation about who’s responsible for deaths involving fully automated cars because there aren’t any yet?

      Edit: I’m not necessarily for or against this but I find it odd that the criticisms seems to be that it’s pointless because there are no trans people in sport as if there never will be

      So this clearly isn’t for the sake of safety, since we allow girls and boys to play together until the end of U16, and it can’t be an endemic problem because there are less than two dozen transgender people registered to play football at any level in England. It’s clearly not because of transness itself, since there is no mention of transgender men being banned from playing, so I can only assume that this is because of deeply stupid moral panics that someone, somewhere, is living their life in a way that’s different to the people making this decision and they can’t have that!

      Looks like segregation is back on the menu.

      So glad we’ve learned and moved on sine the 1950s

      If anyone thinks this is a step too far, I encourage them to do some research, given that we have evidence to prove athletes have changed their sex in order to compete against those of lesser sporting ability. I am of course referring to the 2003 episode of the documentary series “Futurama”, which exposed Robonian athlete Coilette.

      I’m looking forward to seeing all the trans men rock up in the Women’s game.
