Hi Cows,
We had a cowmittee meeting last night because Manchester Laces have asked for our support in their stance against the current FA policy regarding trans players. We submitted our support and will hopefully be on their website soon.

Trans Equality Campaign — Manchester Laces<https://manchesterlaces.co.uk/campaign>
Charlton invicta fc. Charlton Invicta support trans inclusion in sport aligned with each person’s gender. Additionally, Non-binary folk are either being totally excluded or forced to play as a gender that is illegitimate to them.

I've attached the minutes so have a read and let me know what you think and we can discuss it at our next meeting/after training.

Hiya,
>From my perspective as a transwoman and a new-ish Cowgirl who has been in this club a looong looong time is we should keep it as the Easton Cowgirls
Why? Because we have a proud history that shouldn't be discarded. Over two decades now and a huge contribution to developing the women's game in Bristol.
Because as a club we show inclusivity not through changing something essential to the club like its name but by how we treat each other - our fellow team mates, other teams, new players. I am still bowled over by how my news was greeted by everyone in July. And for my first league game the other week, I can't you all how happy that made me feel! This club is amazing and that is a testament to the hard work a lot of people have put in over years to foster an inclusive, welcoming environment.
And because...I don't mind using the phrase Cowfolk as a colloquial shorthand for 'Cowboys and Cowgirls' but as an official name? Nah...it reminds me too much of the Tetley Teafolk. It sounds a bit naff.
That's my tuppence worth anyway..
See you all soon, Beth x
Hello all,
We have Tine and Alexa visiting from Hamburg (Frau Doerte Becker / St
Pauli) this weekend! We will definitely be at the Casual League matches on
Saturday but also planning to be at training / the Plough after training on
Thursday and will likely get up to some mischief on Friday evening, too.
Give me a shout if you have anything fun planned / wanna join us somewhere
