Rainbow Owls is deeply disappointed by this week's decisions from the FA and SFA to ban trans women players from playing women's football. Football is for everyone, so we will never stop fighting against transphobia and helping to provide a safe space for the trans community! π³οΈββ§οΈ

To say we are disappointed in our captain, for comments he has made in support of shamed footballer David Goodwillie, is an understatement. This is why EDI initiatives in football are important & why we're here to educate, so this becomes less common #swfc
Very disappointed that our captain has decided to come out in what appears to be vocal support of someone not only lost a civil case which concluded he r*ped a woman, but then declared himself bankrupt so he didnβt have to pay the compensation. Iβm glad no club will touch him.

Well done to Ralf Rangnick for taking assertive action here and making an important stance against homophobia. π. All forms of discrimination in football will not disappear from our stands until such abuse is consistently and robustly challenged by all.
Austria coach Ralf Rangnick has dropped three players from the national team squad for upcoming friendly games because they took part in anti-gay chants after the Vienna derby last month.
