This reaaaally shouldn’t be a complex situation at all, if anything each gender should have their own category. Ie male,female or trans. But then the trans community is rediculously small, so I doubt that be able to have their own

    It’s a complex issue that doesn’t have 1 simple answer. You cant ban all trans women from women’s sport - what about people that began transitioning before puberty? It’s not exactly something that hasn’t been debated before, so the FA really need to already have some guidelines in place.

    What about women (like Caster Semenya) that have a naturally higher concentration of testosterone? The issue could fall down then on players essentially refusing to play because they think someone is trans.

    A trans division doesn’t make any sense as you’d have the same exact biological problem with ftm playing mtfs. So clearly it isn’t fairness that you care about unless you just didn’t think about it
