If being trans automatically makes you a dramatically superior athlete then why is playing in the Sheffield & Hallamshire County league?

It's pretty normal for lower league players to get injured by powerful shots. I've seen happen loads of times. A shot striking your limb at the wrong moment will break it and end your season.

I can definitely understand peoples worry about the effect trans athletes have on certain womans sports. I get that transmen and transwomen might have to play in the mens divisions, but this incident seems like panic sparked by a fairly standard injury.
