"We made this decision in the interests of fairness, because we believe that people who have gone through male puberty have a competitive advantage over biological women," said EBPF officials.
"I am a woman and I have no advantage, so why should I have to play in a category that is going to cast a spotlight on to me and the fact that I have transitioned?" asked Harriet Haynes.
Haynes' lawyer Matt Champ stated the EBPF's decision was "wrong, outside the parameters of the Equality Act and completely unevidenced."
"I would feel incredibly embarrassed by being forced into a position where I was the only female playing in an open category," Haynes expressed.
