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!

@CllrMLNaughton @Trinamurray17 sportireland.ie/ethics/news/sp… '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.'

As we approach the 1st anniversary of @LadiesFootball transgender policy on 15th Feb, I will be posting a number of threads on the issue.

Thread No 1:

Here's a timeline of events so far:

July 2022 - A man takes part in a @dublinladiesg women's match. 2)
Sep 2022 - GAA; 'We are working with our sister organisations to review this area'
LGFA; 'We are currently working in consultation with our counterparts in the GAA to develop policy in this area'.

Yet @officialgaa and @OfficialCamogie still have no trans policies.
