In specific answer to this, no. A “trans girl”, who is actually a boy, should not be allowed to play girls’ football. The fact is they are not biologically male.

Much the same as my current squeeze would double take if I as a 6”3, powerfully built, 90kg male (complete with beard) was to join her womens’ netball team.

There is nothing remotely controversial about this question to 99% of the UK population.

so why is association football mixed at the younger levels ?

have you actually read the scientific papers on the performance of trans atheles and i'm not sure if there is appaer yet rather than the observations of trans dancers

you appear to be confusing transgender women with cisgender men

1 and 3 look like trans women to me. 2 and 4 “pass” well.

aside from the unethical and exploitative nature of such comparisons it gets interesting when you start throwing in images of cisgender women who have features at the extremes of typical female facial geometry, but because of the overlapping of the ranges are typical male features ...

I am puzzled as to why this thread has been dug up as it looked to have run its course back in May.

Unless some new information comes to light, I don't think there is any benefit to continuing this discussion.
