Calls to ban transgender women from playing soccer in female only teams | Daily Mail Online

Angry parents fed-up with a trans woman‘s domination of a female soccer league are campaigning for the competition to ban transgender women from female soccer teams.

The trans woman, who Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to identify, has led Football NSW‘s League One Women’s 1st Grade goal kickers table, with seven goals.

But it is allegations the trans athletes injured females from an opposing side in a match last weekend that has caused the ire of some fed-up parents and players.

A man who claimed to have coached men and boys’ soccer teams for 20 years said the league needed to ‘take a good hard look at itself’.

‘After what happened on the weekend at a couple of games, family and friends are looking at pulling their kids out of their teams,’ he wrote.

‘This needs to be addressed by the powers that be before anyone else gets hurt or players refuse to take the field or players quit the game.’

Last year, world soccer’s governing body FIFA and World Athletics said they were reviewing their transgender eligibility policies after swimming passed new rules that restricted transgender participation in women’s events.

However reports from earlier this year suggested transgender footballers would compete at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this July and August.
