It’s a complex issue that doesn’t have 1 simple answer. You cant ban all trans women from women’s sport - what about people that began transitioning before puberty? It’s not exactly something that hasn’t been debated before, so the FA really need to already have some guidelines in place.

What about women (like Caster Semenya) that have a naturally higher concentration of testosterone? The issue could fall down then on players essentially refusing to play because they think someone is trans.

I hadn’t even looked at it from that POV, your comment is correct in many ways.
