Trans men playing in womens football

[Justsurfing]

I play in a womens football team and was shocked to learn that our opposition team who we played yesterday had a clearly male player! Is this allowed? I know I will be called transphobic for saying this but why should a man be allowed to compete against women, I feel very uncomfortable about this and maybe this will be the only occasion I come across this all season but it just feels fundamentally wrong on so many levels. Is there anything ‘womens only’ left 😂

Just crossed my mind.
In Russia uncle Vlad us calling men up in a draft for the war in Ukraine and as a result vast numbers of fighting age men are heading for the borders to avoid being killed. There are even reports of men breaking their arms to not get sent to basic training.
In the event of this happening here do you think the government would accept the thousands of men suddenly self identifying as women to avoid the call up?
Just a thought.

Just going to jump in here as this has recently been raised with Basketball Scotland as there is a trans woman playing in U16 woman’s league. When I raised it at club level I was “informed “of inclusion to all. I managed to keep my hair on and strongly advised the need to discuss at a national level as a young person with a penis and balls , unfortunately has resulted in the young woman play a different defence as they are acutely aware of the close proximity of male genitalia.

Ask about their insurance coverage, bluntly, for playing males against women.
