A bit more common sense prevailing.

FA says transgender women cannot compete in women's football from 1 June

Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women's football in England following a policy change from the Football Association.

Excellent. Let's brace ourselves for all the sad stories about how TIM can't possibly play on the men's team while ignoring the women and girls who were pushed out or self-excluded from football because there were men playing women's football.

Great news!

I'm not sure "Scotland is set to follow" though, given they announced it before England 🤦‍♀️

Hopefully this applies to all levels and all ages. Does anyone know?

Also, it would be good to get confirmation that the two girls who (independently) were sanctioned by the FA for asking if players were biological men have received both an apology and a removal of the sanction from their record.
