Can the Management Committee of @LadiesFootball please take note of the findings from @sportireland?
You have a chance at the next Central Council meeting to at least review your Transgender Policy!

'Biomedical science tells us that there are significant differences in the determinants of sporting performance between the sexes. The evidence points to retention of some of these differences in transgender women, even after transition therapy.'

Nowhere in the document is it stated that sporting bodies have a legal obligation to include transwomen in female sports! Something that @LadiesFootball has aluded to in correspondence repeatedly. "The LGFA complies with all of its legal obligations under European and Irish law."

'The vast majority of
people working and taking part in sport favoured protection of a female category.'
'Those from the sporting
community were of the opinion that fairness and safety in sport should not be compromised through inclusion practices.'
#Facts @LadiesFootball

'It is very important to consult with your membership regarding their needs and understanding in
this area. Ideally, this should be done independently or with outside advice.'
You didn't consult with your members at all @LadiesFootball!
Will you finally do that now?

'You should factor the views & needs of your members & stakeholders.'
'There should be an understanding that communication will be offered to your membership explaining your process & detailing how & why decisions have been made.'
@LadiesFootball, maybe we'll get this now 🤷‍♀️

It's time for Sports National Governing Bodies to listen to their members! Cater for inclusion, but not ahead of fairness & safety!
