The FA isn't reading the room. From the Telegraph:
The Football Association has quietly updated its transgender rules that stop short of preventing athletes born male playing in women’s matches.
If they're born male that means they are male. This absurd "born male" formulation just plays along with the trans delusion that people can change their sex. Which they can't.
Following a years-long review of its transgender policy, the FA has ignored calls from campaigners to follow the likes of the Rugby Football Union in permitting only those registered as female at birth to compete in women’s fixtures.
The amended rules instead lay out a formal process by which individual trans women could be excluded from such matches on the grounds of safety or fairness on a case-by-case basis….
The updated policy was denounced by Fiona McAnena, director of campaigns for Sex Matters, who said: “Female footballers will feel very let down by this revised policy, which does nothing to restore fairness and safety in the women’s game. By merely requiring male players to prove once a year that they have lowered their testosterone to a level that is still far above normal female levels, it’s unscientific, already out of date and not compliant with the Sports Councils’ guidance. No wonder the FA published this without announcing it.”
