Oh there are going to be some tantrums today!

I thought that too. Fully expecting the "discrimination" and "getting legal advice" boxes on the TRA bingo cards to be ticked today.

so strange that the best resourced, most male dominated, sport would be so far behind the curve on this when the first other sports to get their house in order were taking the lead years back

These sporting groups really needed to get better legal advice. I really cannot see how Stonewall, and those advisory groups that were aligned and giving the same advice, can survive this.

Woohoo!

Hopefully mens teams will put aside their transphobia and homophobia and welcome these players into their teams now.

I just got the breaking news alert on my phone about this and was pondering if 10:30 in the morning was too early for a 🍷to celebrate the FAs common sense.

Sounds good but I want to see the policy. Is it all males including males with a DSD, or just MCW, I wonder?

Yes!

Also seems to scotch the 'gone through male puberty' carve out.
