Well it's not often I'm speechless. This here is a bloke, complete with bald patch.

What is this laughable nonsense ?? And what the hell are people playing at defending and supporting this idiot.......I honestly thought it was a.staged protest at first. But no. 😬

One of the reasons he says he plays is validation.

@EyeSpyPlumPie and @MarshaBradyo ..

www.instagram.com/p/Cg1hG01ssdq/?hl=en A quick look on here confirms that this is the kit of the team in question and you can see this person in the photo of the team that won the competition mentioned.

This has been widely reported and shared.. there is no suggestion that the photo is a mistake.

This is not the referee.

(Were you being genuine in your comment or trying to cast doubt on the story?)

Genuinely interested!

I didn’t know background at all

I agree it’s madness then

DH shared some pics of this with me a few weeks ago. It's definitely the bald guy as he's in the team pic celebrating in the pub afterwards.

To be fair, he has his legs crossed in the pics at the pub and looks like a lady... 🙄

Just looked back at them. He's in the official pre match team picture and then in the pub with the team afterwards.

I’ve tweeted it. I suppose that’ll be me banned 🤬🤷‍♀️

They refer to the number 21 in the report, which is definitely the person without the hair as that is the number on the shirt

No, you can see the person attempting to tackle the female player is wearing a no. 21 jersey. That is a substitute player number.

It is depressing, isn't it? All skirting around the 'person' when the issue is that it is a man.

My comment was genuine. I seriously thought that was the referee and googled the name and the results as I said looked like the dark haired woman in the picture.

Mad though this looks, it's actually no different to all the other males muscling in on women's sport. Lia Thomas, Hannah Mounsey. Nor any different to India Willoughby, Paris lees and all the rest.

It produces a greater reaction, granted, because it's so blatant. But it's identical to all the others.

There is a Guilia ValentinA . She is an Italian woman . That's who you would have found. He is ValentinO .

And isn’t that a shame.

Yep, he clearly just can't be arsed shaving his legs and growing his hair - well, to be fair he is follicly(sp?) challenged.

The women on the other team should've refused to play - but not fair that they should have to. Absolutely bloody ridiculous. It beggars belief it really does.

I just googled this person, and it looks like they are the dark-haired player, not the bald man. I think the Daily Fail is being a bit naughty. Not that I agree with male-bodied persons playing in female teams.

Hahaha! How appropriate! Maybe he'll change it to ValentinX

Have you read the posts above, where this is asked, examined, and rejected?

I don’t think other players should have to refuse to play. They’ve set aside their time, maybe got child care or people to cover work shifts, maybe they’ve got someone to drop them off or paid for transport, they’ve shook off hangovers, they’ve invested in kit, they’ve abided by the globally accepted meaning of women’s sport.

No. They should be able to enjoy and be safe and be able to compete fairly.

For those that are thinking there's a mistake: here is Guilia in their role as "trans dyke" DJ Mav (I'm very sorry everyone!)

I completely agree - but if the absolute wet wipes who run this league won't stand up to this nonsense then the women on the team will have to vote with their feet so to speak. I notice they were also beat by the trans-team something ridiculous like 10-0. I mean, what is the actual point of women playing in these circumstances? How demoralising. They all need to get together and just refuse to do it. I'd be absolutely livid.

This seems like the next step of the TRA grand plan is going according to schedule.

Push people with male DSDs as women who should be allowed to compete in women's sports. Get trans women who have had surgery and cross sex hormones and have made a real effort to look like women, to be accepted in women's sports. The next logical step is to put forward so called trans women who haven't had surgery, taken cross-sex hormones, or reduced their testosterone, but who grew their hair and put a bit of lippy on, and the part-time "women" who want to win but aren't good enough in the men's categories. It's an easy step from there to put forward a man who looks like a man, claim he's a woman because feelz and claim terrible transphobia of anybody who is incredulous that there's a blatant man playing in the women's team. After all, women shouldn't be judged on their looks, should they?

Also I JUDGE, I so judge all of the women on both teams who didn't say NO and refuse to play in this match. Yes it's not their responsibility, but for fucks sake come on. If those whose responsibility it is have failed so blatantly, you step up, and you step up in numbers..

Absolutely agree.

It's very peaking though. We have that to thank them for. Blatant man playing with the females will peak loads of people especially men.
