Natalie WashingtonA British transgender female performing women’s football, said the football association (FA) decision to inhibit the Transgender women Participation in this sport can force many of them to abandon football. Washington, who also leads the football group campaign against Transphobia, said that returning to male football was potentially uncertain and a challenge to thinking.
Transgender women are forbidden to play women’s football in England until June 1, after FA has changed their policy after a decision from the United Kingdom Supreme Court has established that only biological women have complied with the legal meaning of women according to the laws of equality. The body governing is claimed to be in contact with the registered transgender women who are currently playing in England to explain the changes and how they can continue to participate in the sport. The Scottish Football Association (FA) also prohibited transgender women to participate in women’s football.
Washington, one of approximately 28 women exchanged to play amateur football in England, told the BBC that the policy change was surprising. “This is a ban on de Facto for transgender football women in general, being realistic, especially for those playing women’s football for decades,” said 41 -Year -old women in an interview on Thursday. “This would be a great challenge to think and, in fact, potentially dangerous for those people to play again in men’s football, in case they do.”
Washington played in male football
Washington, who underwent genital reconstruction surgery, which previously played in a male league, but joined a women’s team in 2017, reported by the BBC. “It doesn’t look like a safe place for move,” he said about male football. “The impact of hormones means that when I sometimes play a football match with men, I don’t feel like I can compete with men of my age and similar physical properties.”
FA allowed transgender women to play in women’s football every time they maintain their testosterone levels below 5 nanomoles per liter (n/mol) for at least 12 months. Former FA president, David Triesman, told the local media that there should be consequences for the FA’s high position that decided to allow the participation of transgender women to participate in women’s football. “The FA is finally a reason. It is a complete ignorance to ignore the Supreme Court’s decision,” he said.
