Soccer: FA is banning transgender women from the game in England

# Soccer: The English Football Association has confirmed that transgender women will no longer be able to play in the women’s game in England from June 1st. This follows the UK Supreme Court’s ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. The FA says it understands that this decision will be difficult for people who simply want to play the game they love in the gender by which they identify. About 20 transgender women have been playing in English grassroots games this season.
