After Scottish FA, England Bans Trans Players From Women's Competitive Football
After Scottish FA: The Football Association (FA) has announced that transgender women will no longer be able to play in women’s football in England from June 1. The decision follows the ruling from the Supreme Court that a woman is defined by biological sex under equality law.
The decision came a month after the FA said transgender women could continue to participate in women's football provided they met certain criteria. The criteria in the FA's trans policy included meeting reduced testosterone levels and "match observation" to evaluate if the player "presents a risk" to the safety of other players and fair competition.
However, following the UK Supreme Court's ruling on April 16, which stated that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex, the FA has overturned its previous policy and announced that only those born biologically female will be allowed to play.
