Trans women banned from women’s football in the UK

As of June 1st, trans women will no longer be allowed to play on women’s football teams in the United Kingdom. This decision was made by the English Football Association (FA) following a ruling by the High Court. The court ruled last month that, from a biological standpoint, trans women cannot legally be defined as female, and therefore may no longer access public facilities designated for women.

Several British organizations, including the FA, have begun updating their internal regulations in response to the ruling.Transgender football players have condemned the FA’s decision to ban trans women from women’s football, calling it uninformed.

The bank Barclays also announced this week that, starting June 1st, trans women will no longer be permitted to use women’s restrooms in its buildings
