Why did it take so long to kick men out of women’s football?

The English Football Association has finally put a stop to the invasion of the women's game by mediocre men.

For the past 10 years , the FA allowed trans-identifying men to play in women’s teams.

The decision will come into effect from 1 June .

For an organisation that supports the annual Rainbow Laces campaign, ditching its allegiance to trans activism can’t have come easy.

But, in doing so, the FA has at least started to rectify some of the damage it has inflicted on women’s and girls football.
