The Football Association will prohibit transgender women from competing in women’s soccer starting June 1, following a U.K. Supreme Court ruling that defined a woman as biologically female. This policy shift reverses previous regulations that allowed participation based on testosterone levels. The Scottish Football Association echoed this decision last week, while the England and Wales Cricket Board is also planning similar policy changes. Although the ruling has received support from some feminist groups, it has sparked significant backlash from transgender rights advocates, who warn of broader negative implications for trans individuals across various sectors of life.
