Women's soccer players suspended for asking if trans opponents are men: 'I can’t even stand up for myself'

An 18-year-old women's soccer player in England was suspended six games for asking referees if transgender opponents on an opposing team were men. 

It is the second incident when a teenage female player was banned for inquiring to referees about the birth sex of opposing players, The Telegraph reported. 

The most recent incident took place in September when she made a comment to referees, asking if an opposing team's goalkeeper and others were eligible to play. The female player reportedly has learning difficulties, including ADHD.

The incident was sanctioned by a National Serious Case Panel, and in addition to her six-game ban, with two games suspended, she was also forced to undergo an "online education course." Her club was dealt seven disciplinary points.

In a statement provided to The Telegraph, the 18-year-old referred to the trans opponents as "extremely aggressive." She also said she did not take her ADHD medication that day because "another medical condition" prevented it. 

"It kind of made me hate football," she said. "If I say anything else, I get another six-game ban. So I can’t even stand up for myself at this point."

The first incident of a teenage female getting banned for such inquiries occurred in November. That month, a 17-year-old player with autism was punished for allegedly asking a transgender opponent "are you a man?" The female player was dealt a six-game ban, with four of them suspended.
