Seems harsh to me. I can understand why it should happen in professional football and even in the higher levels of amateur football perhaps, but what difference does it make for those playing park football? We would occasionally come up against “ringers” (higher quality players brought in specifically for certain games) and there was always big gaps between skill and physicality of certain players in the men’s park games. We aren’t talking about many people either, it isn’t like there will be a full team of trans women.

What are women who have transition supposed to do if they love to play football? Join a men’s team?

All 20 women that this affects have been contacted.

20.

Interesting to see the lack of support from corporate for pride month. Given they were so behind the cause its strange how quickly the support has dried up

Linden Kemkaran of Reform has decided that trans books are to be removed from children’s libraries in Kent. This is a sad day. I was an early pioneer of trans books back in my school days, where my progressive mates and I used to read them regularly. On the outside there was a thick encyclopedia hardcover, and on the inside scantily clad women.

From the BBC report, ( my highlighting );

"However, the council said a single transgender-related book aimed at adults was relocated from a display at the entrance of a library to a section unlikely to be visited by children"
