Plotting to ignore
Of course they do.
Transgender footballers plot to flout ban and play on
Transgender women and their allies have threatened to flout the ban on those born male playing in women’s football in England.
Telegraph Sport has been shown WhatsApp messages from those involved in a women’s league plotting to ignore a ban announced by the Football Association following last month’s Supreme Court ruling on single-sex spaces.
Fae Fulconis, who plays for Hackney Women in the sixth tier of the female game, told The i Paper: “I’m going to fight this ruling. If they want to ban me, then they can physically come and get me off the pitch.”
What does that sound like?
Oh yes: rape.
It sounds like what it is: men flatly refusing to take women’s “NO” for an answer. Men treating women like so much obstructive garbage who have to be pushed sharply aside, and if they still won’t shut the fuck up, beaten to a pulp.
Fulconis, one of around 20 trans women affected by a rule change that comes into force on June 1, added: “My birth certificate says that my sex is female, my passport says F, I see no reason why I can’t play football, so I’m going to play.
Of course he sees no reason, because he can’t hear what women are saying, because his contempt for women is so deep and so profound that it makes him deaf to our voices.
“I’m going to fight this ruling. If they want to ban me, then they can physically come and get me off the pitch. The ban goes really against the spirit of football. It goes against what women’s football is about, and it is also a complete misunderstanding and misrepresentation of who trans women are.”
Women’s football is all about men playing it instead of women? I did not know that. I did know about the not listening and not giving a shit, but I did not know that other thing. So is there any way women’s football can be about women playing football? I suppose that’s too much to ask, isn’t it. Mustn’t be greedy. It’s quite the compliment to have the word “women’s” in the name, so I shouldn’t expect more, like letting women actually play.
“Sport should be a safe haven. The basic point of football is 22 people of different backgrounds coming together and on the pitch, they are completely equal for 90 minutes, and they are only judged by their ability to kick a ball.”
“People” meaning men, of course. Not women. Obviously. What would be the point of having them on the pitch?
The bloke’s an idiot. The basic point of football is for one team of eleven players to score more goals than their opposing team of eleven players. And no, he won’t need to be physically removed. If his team try to play him they will be breaking the rules by fielding an ineligible player. At the very least the referee will order him off the pitch before starting the game. If he refuses to leave, and if his own teammates can’t or won’t persuade him to leave, the referee will abandon the game. Even if he does leave when ordered to, the referee is duty-bound to report his club to the local FA for breaching the rules by attempting to field an illegible payer, which could result in a fine and/or league points being docked. A repeat offence could see the club suspended from the league. I do hope that somebody makes the club officials aware of exactly what they’ll be risking by backing this cheating little shit.
