Der Wechsel von Du zu Sie auch spannend

Let’s be clear: the decision by the FA and others to bar trans women from sport is not a requirement on them by the Supreme Court ruling. It is a choice they have made to be exclusionary and intolerant. That’s a choice they are now free to make after the a ruling, but still a choice.

TRUK United Statement on FA’s Ban on Transgender Women in Football from Age 13 Everyone at TRUK United is deeply disappointed and outraged by the decision announced today by the Football Association (FA) to ban Transgender Women from participating in women's football from the age of 13. For many years, the FA had stringent and carefully considered policies in place regarding the inclusion of trans women in the women’s game. These policies involved strict eligibility criteria, including hormone level monitoring, and we supported the processes that were implemented. Under those guidelines, trans women were able to play without incident. They were welcomed by teammates, coaches and supporters, becoming valued members of their clubs and making a positive contribution to the sport. Importantly, there has been no football-specific evidence to suggest that, under the previous policies, trans women posed a risk to fairness or safety. Scientific research has shown that trans women who have undergone hormone therapy do not possess any significant performance advantage over cis women. Being allowed to play football has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on the physical and mental health of many trans women. We know of numerous individuals who have found not only joy in the game but also friendship, community and purpose through their involvement in their clubs. To have that taken away so suddenly, without meaningful consultation or justification, is devastating. The FA frequently promotes the idea of “Football for All”, but this decision stands in direct contradiction to that principle. By excluding an entire group based on their gender identity, the FA isolates itself from the growing number of football associations internationally that continue to welcome trans women in the game. We are also seriously concerned about the wider repercussions of this decision. Already, we are seeing an increase in transphobic abuse across social media platforms. Decisions like this embolden…

These days, my personal stance on this is: absolutely believe people are showing you who they are, but don't waste your breath trying to pin them on this one thing. ymmv

Look, I don't really want to wade into American politics, but since emblem gestures are my jam, a reminder: gestures are treated in communication as more deniable than words and bad-faith actors can easily exploit this feature.
