Transgender women will be barred from playing in women’s soccer in England from June 1, the English Football Association (FA) announced on Thursday.
“We understand that this will be difficult for people who simply want to play the game they love in the gender by which they identify, and we are contacting the registered transgender women currently playing to explain the changes and how they can continue to stay involved in the game,” the organizing body for soccer in Britain said in a statement.
The FA clarified to CNN Sports that this ban will impact all levels of women’s soccer, from the professional game to the grassroots level.
CNN understands that there are around 20 transgender women who could be affected by this ruling, all playing in the amateur levels of the game.
The decision comes after the UK’s Supreme Court ruled last month that the legal definition of “woman” excludes trans women in a case that is expected to impact accommodations for trans women in bathrooms, hospital wards, sports clubs and more.
Britain’s highest court ruled unanimously that the definition of a woman in equality legislation refers to “a biological woman and biological sex,” sparking celebrations outside court among gender-critical campaigners but warnings it was a “worrying” development for transgender people.
Just days before the April 16 ruling from the UK’s Supreme Court, the FA had updated its policy on transgender women playing in women’s soccer to allow trans women who had kept their testosterone levels below 5.0 nanomoles per liter of blood for 12 months prior to a match and thereafter to continue to participate.

Most excellent news...who knew the limeys had it in them?
Hmmm, makes it seem like the whole transgender thing was nothing more than a planned distraction on the indigenous population to allow infiltration of their future masters.
Wow, the yellow-toothed pederasts finally developed common sense.
Wow, the yellow-toothed pederasts finally developed common sense.
But no one was preventing male soccer players from having their genitals snipped off, announcing to the world that they were now "women," and yet continuing to play in men's soccer teams.
The only problem was that these fake women insisted upon playing with team-mates and against other teams consisting of true, biological women.
Regards,
It took them long enough.
good — now ban Islam
lol
An obvious decision after they got permission from the UK Supreme Court. I’m sure they wanted to do this, but they were afraid of being thrown in prison if they even just said they were thinking of doing this.
Maybe the US Supreme Court will take a hint and start making sense.
🔝🔝
Mentally ill men will be banned…. NOW it reads correctly
did you stick a pun in?
The stupidly still exist this statement says it all:
“We understand that this will be difficult for people who simply want to play the game they love in the gender by which they identify, and we are contacting the registered transgender women currently playing to explain the changes and how they can continue to stay involved in the game,”
What it should state is “freaks that think they’re women have no right to play in real women’s sports. They belong institutionalized until they’re cured.”
Gonna need a biologist to figure out all this.
