Piers Morgan has given a four-word response after the English FA banned transgender women from women's football.

The FA have changed its inclusion policy on transgender women footballers and will ban them from playing in the women's game in England from next season.

Their current policy allowed transgender women to participate in the women's game until they received 'expert legal advice' following last month's Supreme Court judgement, which ruled that a woman is legally defined solely by her biological sex.

In a statement, the FA said: "This is a complex subject, and our position has always been that if there was a material change in law, science, or the operation of the policy in grassroots football, then we would review it and change it if necessary.

"The Supreme Court’s ruling on 16 April means that we will be changing our policy. Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women’s football in England, and this policy will be implemented from 1 June 2025.

"We understand that this will be difficult for people who simply want to play the game they love in the gender by which they identify, and we are contacting the registered transgender women currently playing to explain the changes and how they can continue to stay involved in the game."

On X, he wrote: "Finally.. common sense prevails."

The English FA's decision to ban transgender women footballers from women's football comes a day after the Scottish FA delivered the same verdict.

From next season, only players who were female at birth will be allowed to play in women's football over the age of 13 in Scotland.

There are not thought to be any transgender women playing women's professional football in either England or Scotland.

The new policies for both nations emulate blanket bans on trans women in women's sport introduced by athletics, cricket, and rugby.
