The Football Association and the Scottish Football Association have announced bans on trans women participating in women's football, following a UK Supreme Court ruling that defined 'sex' under the 2010 Equality Act as referring exclusively to biological women. This decision, effective from June 1, coincides with Pride Month. Many clubs and sporting organizations have publicly opposed the ban, expressing their disappointment and concern for trans inclusion. Although only a few trans women play at the professional level, around 20 are active at the grassroots level. The FA has offered support options for those affected by the ban.
The decision by the FA and Scottish FA to bar trans women from women's football has been met with widespread opposition from clubs and sporting groups, citing disappointment and deep concern.
The ruling by the UK Supreme Court clarifying that the term 'woman' under the Equality Act refers solely to biological women has prompted significant backlash from the trans community and allies.
