Male-born transgender athlete Francesca Needham quit a British soccer team after opponents refused to play against his team following an incident where he broke a female player’s knee.
Needham is threatening to sue, claiming discrimination and a breach of diversity and inclusion policies.
“This unfortunate circumstance has prompted me to investigate pursuing a case of discrimination, as I believe it represents a breach of a code of conduct regarding diversity and inclusion, as well as safeguarding of adults in football established by both the Football Association and the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women and Girls League,” Needham wrote.

“It’s disheartening,” he added, “to acknowledge that this situation contradicts everything in the diversity and inclusion policies, given that I have diligently met every single requirement set out by the Football Association to play.”
“I sincerely hope that this issue of perceived discrimination against me can be resolved peacefully and promptly,” he concluded.
The women’s league approved Needham’s bid to play and insisted he met their transgender requirements, but opponents expressed concern over safety and welfare.
“It was obvious,” one manager said.
“Unfortunately, the FA allowed it to happen but didn’t let anyone know. She’s quite a big, strong player. People have refused to play because they are worried about the safety of the players.”
“My players were backing out of challenges as psychologically it’s quite a big thing when you are playing against a biological man, it’s quite scary. They were terrified,” he added.
“I have 16 and 17 year old players playing for me, and their parents weren’t too keen to put their welfare at risk,” another manager said.
