FA and Transgender players

[Painter]

The FA have now agreed that men, who identify as women can carry on playing in any women's league in the UK. We all know that men are physically stronger than women, the possibility of serious injuries are high.
The Boxing Olympics in Paris was an example of the stupidity of allowing men who feel like being a woman to compete against women. 2 women were very badly injured fighting against men as they are far stronger.
Just goes to prove the FA is run by woke idiots.

Another example of an organisation trying to show that it is aware of the little groups into which people divide themselves. Surely the FA - with all the leagues that operate - already provides scope for all to participate.

If we are to have males who have decided that they want to present themselves as women I think that there are two options for matches, based on people originally male tending to be stronger than females.
One - if playing they need to start, and then be substituted reducing the effect of their being able to go for longer, with no former males coming on from the bench. This would provide balance.
Two - matching substitutions, so that former males coming on during the match would be paired, one from each team.

This is an area where comments can be attacked, please be gentle. .

The answer is actually quite simple. The FA should have a 3rd option for teams apart from men and women.

An open category where anyone can play this is the best place for Trans players but women and men could also play of they want to.

Protect women's sport.

The England women team's reaction to this will be interesting. As will such wokies as Alex Scott - she'll have to go along with it I'd say. So will Lineker.
However, women currently playing will not like this and some will not accept this: in my opinion.
Here's one from a recent ladies pool championship.

This is getting silly.

All the record books will end up having these trans people blitz them & I can see some teams on purpose selecting a full team of them.

Men should be kept out of women's sports.

They should even be allowed in the same toilet or changing rooms.

Allowing men compete in women's football sets a very dangerous precedent. It will take a woman or girl to get injured seriously or abused for the FA to find some common sense.
