Why did it take so long to kick men out of women’s football?

Last week, the English Football Association (FA) finally remembered why women’s football exists – and it’s not to let men who identify as women ‘validate’ their identities.

In a short statement on its website, the FA confirmed that, in light of the recent Supreme Court decision on gender, it ‘will be changing [its] policy’ on men in women’s football. ‘Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women’s football in England’, it said. The decision will come into effect from 1 June.
