Natalie Washington, a British transgender woman who plays women's football, said the Football Association’s move to ban trans women from the sport could force many transgender women out of football completely.

"Transgender women will no longer be able to play" women's soccer in England, the national Football Association says after a key U.K. ruling.

The Football Association, the national governing body, said that it had changed its policy as a result of a ruling last month by the British Supreme Court.
