My ten cents - at an amateur level the FA's requirements on trans players
are ridiculously insensitive and serve to exclude many people from the
grassroots game, aka I definitely agree that we as a club should take a
stance against it. I equally strongly feel we should stick to our identity
as a diverse, inclusive, trans-inclusive women's football club, because for
me the women's game itself and the awesome sisterhood that comes with it is
something really special, that's my personal take.
BTW here's a link to download the FA Policy, for context

Re the name change.... noooooo way.
I fully embrace inclusivity, accessibility and solidarity with trans and
non binary players 100%.
Although I do not support ridding ourselves of our 'Cowgirl' name, our
very connection to 'women's football' ....on the back of a history of women
being banned from playing football, only progressing now in developed
countries in the West.
I am proud as a woman to be part of a generation that see's women/girls/us
in sport actually being taken seriously. Why would we change our name???

I support the stance.
However, I wholeheartedly disagree with changing our name. We should be
inclusive, but we don’t need to eradicate the use of the term ‘girls’ or
‘women’ to do so. Women/ girls is not an excluding term

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.

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.
