Scottish FA banning transgender women from playing in women's football

The Scottish FA will ban transgender women from competing in women's football starting next season, following a ruling from the UK Supreme Court that defined a woman based on biological sex.
This policy change means that only players born biologically female can participate in competitive women's football in Scotland, including grassroots levels.
Currently, there are no transgender women registered as competitive players in Scotland's football system.
The decision aligns football with other sports like rugby and athletics, which have similar restrictions based on the UK's legal interpretation of gender in sports.
