My doctor usually doesn’t prescribe injections since so many people are either afraid of them or just can’t do them correctly. When the patches just weren’t working for me because they weren’t consistently staying attached I asked her about alternatives and she mentioned injections last. I explained that I had been giving myself insulin for over 25 years and that I was very comfortable with shots. After a few months of these, I think I should have been on these the whole time!

It’s not bad, but not good either.
However, a new formal process - which will involve a match observation by an FA official - will give the body the ability to remove or refuse a player’s permission to play in the women’s game.
I’d like to know what powers these observers have, and I’d hope it would involve red cards for any TERs threatening match officials. My pessimism says it will be trans women are removed whenever a TER complains about being within 10 metres of a trans woman.
Here’s the EFA Policy update
Interesting stat from the article:
The FA says there are 20 transgender women registered to play amateur football in England among the millions who play at that level and there are none in the professional game across the Home Nations.

I suspect it will amount to “they can play as long as they are terrible at it.” Or something to that effect. If they get too good, out you go.

Ooh, I’ve been to Norway! It’s beautiful! I would prefer staying here, but if that becomes impossible, I wouldn’t hate that option.

If I have to be an ant in this scenario- I may as well be a fire ant.

Bullet ants are a 4 (out of 4) on the Schmidt pain index.
Paraponera clavata stings induced immediate, excruciating pain and numbness to pencil-point pressure, as well as trembling in the form of a totally uncontrollable urge to shake the affected part.
pure, intense, brilliant pain…like walking over flaming charcoal with a three-inch nail embedded in your heel.

Bullet ants hurt more but fire ants have special toxins that can cause tissue necrosis, so both can be good choices depending on your goals. 
Really though even regular ants can make a kid pretty unhappy if they get all over them. The wonderful thing about ants is less how strong each one is than that they stick together.
