I'm a sports academic. I know all about the misogynist FA. There are certainly more than 20 males playing female football. Often as goalies 'cos taller & bigger hands. I've interviewed female athletes. They are silenced & embarrassed because they know their team has an advantage. It's pure sexism.

You'd get rid of all categories would you? Age group? Disabled? Or just sex? The female sports category is a fundamental inclusion measure. It includes women in sport, particularly in team sport, by excluding males & male advantage. Seems fair. Or are you all about the males?
