Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Transgender and non-binary players can choose men's or women's team, says German FA
Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from the sex that they were assigned at birth, like a man to a woman or vice versa. Non-binary is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity doesn't sit comfortably with 'man' or 'woman'. In sports, there is no universal rule for these people who want to register to play among different sexual identities from the ones they were born with. Recently, The German Football Association, DFB: Deutscher FuBball-Bund, clarified the registration for amateurs, juniors, and futsal players. Those who are not comfortable with their personal identification data or changed their gender can now decide which team, men’s or women’s, to play in. This ruling affects its seven million registered members and over 24,000 football clubs in Germany. Will there be more sports organizations and associations that allow their players to register differently from their original gender status? Time will tell.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about the latest ruling on gender identification.
