💨 Abstract

The U.K.'s highest court ruled in April that the terms “woman” and “man” refer to biological sex for anti-discrimination purposes. This decision has led to transgender women being excluded from women-only spaces, including sports teams, under new regulations by the Football Association. Natalie Washington, a transgender woman who plays soccer, feels her opportunities to play are now in doubt. The ruling has sparked debates about fairness and inclusion, with some groups supporting the decision while others condemn it.
