Debate
Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
I will finish with one final type of cognitive dissonance. I do not think we can sit here discussing equality, fairness and inclusion without talking about one important thing: the fact that football is currently not inclusive for women and girls in some instances because of the controversy around the reality of biological sex. The fact that a six-foot trans-identifying male who identifies as female can end up playing in a women’s team and showering in a women’s changing room, jeopardising the safety and privacy of female footballers, makes the competition—the female game—totally unfair.
