The English FA is reconsidering its decision to allow transgender women to play in women's football after the UK Supreme Court defined a woman based on biological sex. Following this ruling, the Scottish FA plans to ban transgender women from competitive matches, allowing only those born biologically female to participate. The FA faces increasing pressure to adopt similar measures, and former officials argue the need for clarity in light of legal rulings. The policy review indicates a shift in response to growing legal and societal concerns surrounding gender inclusivity in sports.
The FA has come under pressure to amend its policy on transgender women in football following legal clarity from the Supreme Court regarding the definition of a woman.
‘The idea that the FA can disregard the Supreme Court shows a foolhardy contempt for the law. Every passing day makes it worse,’ said former FA Chairman Lord Triesman.
