  2. Banning trans children is so cruel. There’s no “biology” argument for that. In general, at the amateur level, who the fuck cares? There’s a need for rules at elite level to ensure fairness, but even those can be made inclusive. We’ll look back on this moral panic with the same shame we feel about lesbians being kicked out of changing rooms in the 90s.

  3. Except there weren’t any to ban. Might as well ban unicorns competing too.

  4. OP just desperate to keep the hate train going. What’s up mate, no hobbies?

  6. “From next season, only those born biologically female will be allowed to take part in competitive matches in the women’s game.”

    So they’ll allow trans men to play in the women’s game right? Right?

    “However, it is understood there are currently no transgender women playing competitive football north of the border.”

    So they’re being openly cruel for the sake of it then.

  7. “Thank god they did that. I was so worried about all the wee women trying their wee hearts out playing their wee games of football, all while being terrorised by precisely zero trans women. Now that this massive problem has been solved I’ll go back to never thinking or caring about women’s football again.”

  8. “However, it is understood there are currently no transgender women playing competitive football north of the border.”

    Trans hysteria is everywhere. The current rules restrict based on testosterone levels, which may not be perfect, but a more scientific method for assessing any biological gain in the respective sport seems more fair, rather than this new blanket ban.

  9. And how many trans players actually play football at any reasonably professional level?

    Probably fewer than you would like to admit. But hey, keep the hate train going because you have nothing better to care about

  12. Maybe straight or just young people don’t know this, but in the 80s and 90s there was an enormous press moral panic about gay people in changing rooms. My wife is bi and was kicked off the netball team in school, in the 90s, for being “a lezzer”. The other girls wouldn’t pass the ball to her or change in the same room as her. The teacher asked *her* to leave the team.

    None of this is new for LGBT people.

  13. Not banned, just not eligible as men to play womens football. They can play with the other men. Also there are none anyway.

  14. I hope one day people will realize that the intense sex and gender policing of people’s Identity or body is a mechanism of social control.  World Athletics deciding to do cheek swaps on every sports women is going to ruin several careers and is a part of the fascism that is gripping UK currently considering who is the president of the institution.

  15. Last week we had the headline “Men aren’t women” and now it’s “Men can’t compete in Women’s football”. Not sure why that’s a headline to be fair. Should be fairly obvious.

  17. And so they should be. They are biologically men, who are naturally stronger than women.

    Let who be who. But this makes sense and it’s not discrimination.

  18. No matter what or how anyones puts it XX chromosome has less stamina and strength than XY. Males (XY) cannot compete with Females (XX). People are finally coming to their senses. Whatever your journey is, I completely support you but not whilst diminishing others’ human/basic rights. Your journey remains supported.

  21. Just from the comments here is the viewpoint of a Scottish 30 year old woman;

    ✅Trans women are women
    ✅The only people I’ve ever needed protection from are predatory, straight men
    ✅If a psychotic man was going to mask as a trans person just to get into a changing room or bathroom to attack women or girls, laws don’t really mean anything to them anyway
    ✅Women don’t want other women to be attacked in the men’s toilet
    ✅All of this is just political fodder to distract us from billionaires absolutely f*cking the working class

    None of these are extreme viewpoints, they’re the viewpoints held by absolutely everyone in my life which is completely normal and not an echo chamber. I could probably paint a picture of OP just based off of his comments and viewpoints he’s throwing about.

  22. This is the definition of a wedge issue. If anyone is wondering how that orange fuckwit ended-up in office on either occasion, it’s stuff like this being used to distract us from the transfer of wealth to billionaires.

    We need to fight them, not each other.

  23. Only outcome from this will be more harassment of women.

  24. So in other words SFA band men from competing against women. Shouldnt even be news really

  25. “Hey, before you get any ideas… Don’t…” – SFA

    Fucking brain dead response to all the stuff going on right now.
