“Not Safe Or Fair For Women!” | Women’s Football Clubs Boycotting Team With Trans Player

Clubs in a women’s football league in Yorkshire have pulled out of matches against a team that fielded a trans woman.

The boycott started after an opposing player suffered a season-ending knee injury while blocking a shot from Francesca Needham, it was reported.

TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Fair Play For Women’s Fiona McAnena to discuss the story.

Fiona argues: “The issue here is not discrimination because this player is trans, the problem is it’s not safe or fair for women.”

Writing about her decision on Facebook, Needham said: “I sincerely hope that this issue of perceived discrimination against me can be resolved peacefully and promptly, with the full support of the Football Association and the policies they have written and approved.”
