    As they should do, this bullshit needs to stop going on.

    Give them their own division and be done with it, it’s unfair for these women and is damaging the growth of the sport.

    There should be at least 3 categories.

    Biological Males, Biological Females, Free for all (everyone can compete regardless of gender)OR they could have various trans categories the same way the special Olympics has different levels of handicap.

      Just make the male one open for all.

      That way mtf athletes can just compete vs men, they wouldn’t have an advantage then.

    Hang on so the ladies don’t want to play against man who can hit a ball so hard it’s caused injuries?

    Why isn’t he / she / whatever just playing with other men?

    This is only a ‘complex issue’ because of the current social climate, biological men and women compete seperatly for obvious reasons. Just look at the mixed sex swimming relay in the Olympics as an example.

    If being trans automatically makes you a dramatically superior athlete then why is playing in the Sheffield & Hallamshire County league?

    It’s pretty normal for lower league players to get injured by powerful shots. I’ve seen happen loads of times. A shot striking your limb at the wrong moment will break it and end your season.

    I can definitely understand peoples worry about the effect trans athletes have on certain womans sports. I get that transmen and transwomen might have to play in the mens divisions, but this incident seems like panic sparked by a fairly standard injury.
